A Great lite adventure - We had a great approximately 2hr trip on a catamaran with multiple stops the last one being in the coolest way, I got live video of the sea turtle at the shipwreck.
The Captain & crew were outstanding with safety & services.

Great snorkeling trip! - This was a wonderful trip from start to finish. The crew, Jeremy Jj and Manuel were fun, kind and informative. The Jeremy special (drink) was delicious, they looked out for the safety of everyone on the trip and made sure we all had a great time. Highly recommend!

Money well spent - Great experience! We were the only group with some first time snorkelers so it wound up as a private tour. Friendly, helpful, accommodating crew. New or just like new equipment. Drinks were flowing and refreshments hit the spot. Both snorkeling locations had amazing fish, the shipwreck conditions were a bit windy but that is outside of anyone's control. We even saw a few turtles and all ages enjoyed the rope swing. Excursion was an amazing value, well worth the money. Thank you!

Nice experience! - We picked this snorkel/sail first for the family friendly vibe vs party vibe, 2nd for the amount of people they will take, I think it was up to 35 versus some that could be closer to 60 or so. It was also super easy to get to, right by Marriott surf club. It’s a smaller boat no-frills, which is fine, we just love being on the water. As luck would have it, there was only a total of 5 people on board, our family of 3 and another couple!! It was like a private excursion and I’m so thankful they didn’t cancel on us, as many companies may have!! The crew of 2 were personable, friendly and attentive!
About the snorkel stops, it’s a rough time of year and the Antilla wreck was quite rough, for the brief time we spent in the water we did see a lot of fish and a good view of the wreck. The other stop wasn’t that great. Tres trapi…not a ton to see…I think that’s just Aruba however!

Very family friendly.... - Very family friendly. Only 9 on boat so not crowded. We got lucky. No loud music which my girls wanted to dance. All in all very nice staff 3 stops instead of 2.

Great time! - Amazing trip!! Lots of time in the water. Drinks and lunch were great! Crew was excellent! Only thing I would caution, is that it took a while to get transportation back to pick up spot, so plan accordingly. Totally worth it!

A great snorkeling adventure - This was an excellent snorkeling trip. My daughter and I were novice snorkelers and the crew took great care of us. We saw beautiful fish and turtles. Everything went smoothly, including our great hosts providing drinks, fruit kabobs, and sliders. The captain gave us a brief history of the submerged ship wreck and helpful instructions about where best to swim. The equipment was in great shape and worked well. We had transportation to this adventure from our hotel so it was convenient. The ship was not overly crowded. It simply was fantastic on all points. It was clear that the captain wanted us to have a good experience. I would definitely choose Banana Adventure again.

Great Aruba snorkel cruise - Enjoyed this tour and would definitely do again. Here's some suggestions to make 5 star. Communication about pickup from TripAdvisor booked tour was different than other cruise passengers from same ship booked through other vendors. They were picked up at noon from ship while we were advised to walk to gas station outside port to be picked up at 12:20 pm. Be best to give everyone same time, same location from same ship. Despite picking up others from a hotel on the way, 12:30 pm pickup would have been better. After signing away your life on waivers, was still plenty of wait time before boarding promptly at 1 pm. Three man crew on boat were super friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the fruit skewer, fried chicken and beef sliders, and Jeremy's special rum drink during our cruise. Snorkeling equipment was good. Water was choppy at sunken ship, but was no issue viewing the WWII era ship just below the surface. It was easy to see from above. Happy to see crew members on top of boat and in the water watching and helping. Could have used an extra hand re-boarding the boat, but all was well. Great they had Coke Zero, please add Sprite Zero too. At the start, my husband was second in line for drinks, but crew helped all the pretty ladies while making him stand there. Please realize that we are all tipping passengers and it was frustrated watching this, waiting for him to bring back my drink. After the cruise, we waited awhile for banana bus to transport us back to ship. Another couple had to pay a taxi as they had a sunset cruise booked following this one. Please improve transport/communication to/from tour and will definitely be 5 stars. We have passed up on so many Aruba snorkeling tours because they do not offer transport to/from cruise shop. Thank you for offering this. We look forward to booking again.

Fantastic day! - Captain Raydel and Moosa were great. It was a fun day with only 6 of us on the boat - it was like a private tour. The sliders and tum punch were good. We really had a terrific time. I gave 4 stars because the description in TripAdvisor says you’ll visit Tres Trapi where there are frequently turtles- but we did not visit this location. Highly recommend though!
