    We had a great time. I have been snorkeling many times, but this was definitely something else! A great way to see much much more than on a regular snorkel trip. Besides the 'regular' tropical fish, we saw 7 or 8 sea turtles, a spotted eagle ray, a sea horse, puffer fish and a beautiful eel. And of course the Antilla shipwreck, which never ceases to amaze. The Seabob is very easy to control and a lot of fun.

    Unbelievable time! I'll be honest- I'm pretty lazy. Especially on vacation. But I wanted to snorkel this time and my wife chose Seabob Aruba... and it didn't disappoint! This was my favorite snorkeling excursion- not just in Aruba, but of all time. Leo was our guide and he took over 600 pictures!!! We paid $40 to download them and it's totally worth it.

    We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise that stopped in Aruba and this was one of their available excursions, we couldn’t have picked a better excursion, it was amazing and so much fun! My 13 year old and my husband also found this excursion to be worth every penny. The guides were excellent and truly care for the sea life they are showing you. While on our excursion they brought a sea turtle to the surface to remove a fishing line that was stuck in its mouth . The guides were informative and a wealth of knowledge, the sea bobs themselves allowed so much freedom to explore and enjoy the beauty of the sea life in that area and there was plenty to see. I can’t say enough about how amazing this was, if we had a chance to do it again we wouldn’t hesitate. I almost forgot about the pelican that recognizes the guides and sits on the lead guides’ sea bob waiting to be fed, she was hilarious. Arashi beach itself is lovely and clean. You do need to be aware of the large rocks at that portion of the beach. There is a little bar there that is a little expensive but not horrendous.

    This was one of my favorite things I did in Aruba. We saw lots of turtles and I loved being able to see the shipwreck without joining a tour on a boat. Leo was a fantastic guide and took great pictures. I booked this tour to take while my husband played a round of golf. I like that groups are small. There were two other couples on my tour. I felt very comfortable joining as a single. I tend to be nervous when trying new things and was worried about using the equipment properly and being able to hold my breath long enough underwater. There was no need to be nervous. The seabob was easy to use and I was able to stay underwater for a lot longer than I expected.

    Excellent experience! My wife and I spent 10 days on the island and this will be our most memorable part of the trip. The machines are very fun and easy to use. Spent 2 hours in the water covering many miles up the coast. We saw tons of marine life including turtles, parrot fish and barracuda. The guide was great not only showing us all the different things we could see but also got 400+ pictures/videos of our adventure. I recommend this to anyone interested in seeing the underwater life of Aruba. It would take a week snorkeling to see everything we did.

    The experience was amazing, highly recommend to give it a go! We had the tour with Bob & he was great. Very knowledgeable about the island & his craft. This was certainly one of the highlights of our trip!

    My husband and I had a great memorable time!! So easy to maneuver the seabob, Definitely recommend best way to really see the ocean. Our guide Leo was so awesome, his diving skills are impressive! We saw a sting ray , sea turtles, blow fish, tons of fish and a shipwreck. He takes pictures throughout the trip and you can buy them for a great price and great quality videos and pictures. They provide mask and wet suit. 125 each for about 2.45 hours of awesome fun! More than enough time. Bring sunscreen and wear the wet suit.

    Cody and the rest of the team were all super nice and knowledgeable and our whole group had the best time out there. We saw tons of turtles, fish, rays, and the shipwreck. It was definitely the craziest experience we had in Aruba I recommend doing Seabobs with them you'll love it and then buy the pictures and videos after they only charge $40.

    We booked the Seabob tour on a whim halfway through our trip and it ended up being our favorite thing we did!! The staff does an amazing job of making you feel comfortable and guiding you through everything from the actual Seabob to navigating in the water. They were incredibly knowledgeable and we felt we got to see and experience more in those 2 hours than we did the rest of our time in Aruba! The small group environment makes it feel almost private. Worth every penny! Thanks to the crew for an amazing time, we will be back next trip for sure :)

    The most fun you’ll have in the water! We did Seabob Aruba this morning and it was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done. These electric water scooters whip you around to so many places and can dive down deep as long as you can hold your breath. Alex and his group were amazing. I highly recommend purchasing the photos.

  • 4/5 Danielle V. 1 year ago on Google
    The seabob was fun and a lot easier than I thought to maneuver. The guide was nice. And the place was way to find. I thought the instructions were easy to follow. Where it fell short for me was the photo package. A lot of shots of just the fish or sea life and not of us on the seabobs. Some Candid photos that were not appealing. I think my husband got 1 photo so For $40 I wish I would have got a little better captured memories. The other place is fell short was we didn’t seem to do everything on the list the package indicated. Manly just the fun jumping. I also felt bad because I got sick 1/2 way through the tour. That might have been why we were shorted some of the listed items. But I was hangin in there for others on the tour. I hope they didn’t short them for me. I wouldn’t go again but I would recommend it to others. But if you get sea sick might not be for you. I wish I would have got to max speed. That’s my regret.

  • 5/5 Dylan L. 2 years ago on Google
    This experience is amazing and very unique. Makes you feel alive. It was an ideal length of time, relaxed hosts, and lots of fun to dive down and view the animals and ship. We loved the shallow water time at the end, where we could chase fish schools and watch sea turtles up close.

  • 5/5 Shannon S. 2 years ago on Google
    Our Guide Alex was very good. Alex took great pics and his tour was top notch! Absolutely the coolest thing I have ever done! This is the best adventure on the island!

  • 5/5 smile f. 2 years ago on Google
    If you did seabobing before or not, this is one trip you must do again in Aruba! Seabob is the coolest thing ever. A combination of a jet sky underwater with snorkeling googles makes an incredible experience. This is one activity you must do. I highly recommend and will definitely do it again. The tour was fun and the guide was competent and friendly. I felt extremely safe braving the deep end of the ocean. They pick you up and drop you off from your hotel. Seriously five star treatment. This is not a tour that you have to think about. Just do it.

  • 5/5 Brandon Z. 2 years ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience! Leo was an excellent tour guide. He was very informative, displayed a great respect for the underwater ecosystem and overall...just made the day fun! Also thank you for the pictures and video (optional to buy, we did). These are memories worth making. Anybody in Aruba who loves exploring the underwater world, I highly recommend this spot as a go-to!

  • 5/5 Frederico S. 6 years ago on Google
    At the beginning I was a little afraid, since I don't have any experience at all with diving, etc. The first minutes were enough to feel the machine and start the fun. The Instructors Leo and Tonie are very patient and friendly. While we were out on the Sea, Tonie was taking my 4yo boy for a ride. my Son LOVED him. I would definitely come back to this again, what a nice time we had. Plus the free ride from and to the hotel was very nice,

  • 5/5 Jesse P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great guides and experience

  • 5/5 Brandon C. 5 years ago on Google
    One of the most fun things I've ever done, our group highly recommends. It's worth it!!

  • 5/5 Azilde O. 5 years ago on Google
    The best experience ever! I was a bit nervous but Bob made sure I was comfortable on the test run before starting. My husband and I saw turtles, starfish, school of fish and a shipreck! Will do again! Thank you Seabob!

  • 5/5 Claus 5 years ago on Google
    Real fun rentals, in particular Seabob. Extremely friendly service, professional introduction, pick-up and return to your hotel can be organized. Anytime again!

  • 5/5 Yohanan A. 2 years ago on Google
    So much fun. The sea scooters are really cool since they allow you to travel further into the ocean with ease, while seeing a lot of sea life. We got to see a few sea turtles, lots of fish and of course the ship wrench which was really cool. My partner had a broken ankle during this trip and this was a really nice adventure because she only needed to use her arms to hold on to the Seabob once we were in the water. The staff were really nice and we hope this do this again on another trip.

  • 5/5 Chelsea P. 1 year ago on Google
    The entire staff was wonderful. They were funny, friendly, trustworthy and super knowledgeable. The three of them picked us up at our hotel on time and were awesome right from the beginning. we had Alex as our guide and he was just so nice; continuously watching out for us while simultaneously taking awesome pictures. It was my husband‘s first time snorkeling and he was a bit nervous at first but with Alex‘s guidance, he was a pro by the end. I would recommend them to anybody!

  • 5/5 Avdo S. 5 years ago on Google
    This was definitely the highlight of our stay in Aruba! Leo and Tony were such nice and professional instructors. The effective time in the water was around 1h 45min, which is truly enough! We recommend it.

  • 5/5 Patrick Soo H. 1 year ago on Google
    Our family had a wonderful time with Seabob Aruba! It was so much fun, we will definitely do it again next time we're in the area. The seabob vehicles were super easy to pilot. Even the youngest person in our group, an eleven-year old, was off to the races almost immediately. We were able to visit multiple spots and cover a lot of ground quickly, and the combination of speed and diving potential that the machines provided made the experience tailorable to everyone's own preferences. The guides were great and really down-to-earth. Highly recommended for individuals and families!

  • 5/5 Sam E. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an excellent and fun adventure. Very relaxed and you get to ride to a good deal. Book directly and not via cruise ship. They will pick you up from the ship and are v flexible. Can’t think of a better way to spend a day in Aruba. 👍🏿

  • 5/5 Randall M. 1 year ago on Google
    Hands down the most fun thing I did while staying in Aruba. Dove this puppy to 30 feet and saw some of the coolest sea life you can see here including multiple different species of sea turtles, giant spotted eagle rays, and a dangerous green eel. Our guides were personable, funny, and responsible, as well as being great photographers. Well worth the money for both the tour and the photos, you will not be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Paul S. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience. We were picked up on time and taken to the water entry spot near the Atilla shipwreck. This was our first time using seabobs and they were very easy and intuitive to operate. Within 30 seconds we were diving and gliding through the water and just having a blast. We saw turtles, stingrays, and many different fish. The shipwreck is huge and holds tones of fish. The guide was always nearby and looking out for us while taking some great underwater action pictures. Would highly recommend! Might book a second round while we are here...

  • 5/5 Pierre R. 11 months ago on Google
    Leo did a fabulous job of teaching me to use the seabob and knew the best spots to go. Definitely need to be a strong swimmer but I would recommend to anyone who wants to have an exhilarating and unique Aruban experience

  • 5/5 Life K. 8 months ago on Google
    Awesome experience. Swam with sea turtles and saw several fish in August 2023. Our family had a great time. My wife was nervous beforehand but was very glad she did it. They pick you up at your hotel and take you to Boca Catalina beach. We all stayed in our bathing suits as the water is warm. They teach you how to use the seabob, and you start out in the swimming area (roped off) then go into other waters. You hold your breath when you want to go under the water. The maximum speed is about 15 mph and you can go a decent distance under the water on each breath. It floats so you can rest on it when you get tired. We saw 10-20 sea turtles and was able to swim next to them, and we got close to hundreds of fish. The deepest water was about 30 feet and the farthest from shore was about 100 feet. It was the highlight of our trip and if you visit Aruba, I highly recommend it. The employees are friendly and helpful. Our guide took pictures and videos that you can buy the set for $40.

  • 5/5 Aravind R. 7 months ago on Google
    Fantastic experience with these guys - very friendly and easy to book/ reschedule, and great at explaining how to operate and ride the Seabob. We did the Antilla wreck and turtles tour and would highly recommend to other visitors!

  • 5/5 Paul L. 6 months ago on Google
    Best Seabob excursion on the island. They pick you up, give you a quick, yet detailed run down on how the seabobs work, very easy and they took us to see the turtles we saw stingrays and we dove at the antilla shipwreck. Amazing. We will be using them every time we're in Aruba. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • 5/5 Jennifer N. 4 months ago on Google
    We loved every minute of our Seabob tour in Aruba. The team was fantastic. Very friendly and informative. It was our first time and we were a bit nervous but in no time we were diving under to see the turtles. We also saw stingrays and many varieties of fish. Awesome memories and photos! Highly recommend Seabob. You won’t regret it.

  • 5/5 Hercules Stump Grinding L. 4 months ago on Google
    We had the best time! Cody was our tour guide and he showed us turtles, beautiful fish and offered great pointers. We highly recommend you do a Seabob Aruba tour, you will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Giang H. 4 years ago on Google
    Best thing we did on this vacation. Don't need to be a swimmer. I was nervous because I can't swim (I can float for 10 seconds but that's about it). But the seabob floats even when not running and also super easy to use, and I felt completely safe while out there. When other people went deeper to see the ship wreck, I just held on to the seabob and looked down and it was incredible. My husband went down deeper to touch the ship wreck and Leo (our guide) got it on video! Leo was amazing, he took lots of pictures for us and did a good job explaining the different turtle species and fishies. We saw multiple sea turtles and fishies near the reef.

  • 5/5 Frank C. 4 years ago on Google
    This was definitely our highlight while in Aruba. Bob was our guide and he’s great at what he does. I’m 69 years old and felt very comfortable out there. Cannot wait to do it again.

  • 5/5 Cecile N. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent time with Seabob Aruba and our guide Tony! We were very happy they were able to accommodate us despite us booking it <24hr before. Very responsive by email for booking even after normal hours. Punctual pickup. Effective orientation to respect & operate the Seabob. So much fun to experience open water guided tour to the sunken ship and other areas. Highly recommend!!!! We will do this again!

  • 5/5 Bo G. 4 years ago on Google
    We had Alex as a guide- what a great guy/guide! The Seabobs were easy to use. Alex showed us turtles, starfish and a wide variety of colorful, beautiful fish! He held onto my sons GoPro and shot a ton of video of us diving in and around all the wildlife! Definitely will go again and would recommend to anyone up for a little adventure (snorkeling on steroids!)

  • 5/5 Jon 4 years ago on Google
    So happy we chose to do this!! Probably one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done in my life. Our guides Bob and Tony were the best! They are great guys with a lot of knowledge of the island, and amazing tour guides. We saw lots of sea life and best of all turtles. Diving to the shipwreck was an experience I’ll never forget.

  • 5/5 Tom S. 5 years ago on Google
    Our experience with Seabob was awesome. Our teenage boys find snorkeling to be boring but Seabob gave them the opportunity to see all of the sights of snorkeling (and a ship wreck!) coupled with some high-speed water excitement. Tonie was an awesome guide. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Kareem G. 4 years ago on Google
    The employees were so friendly and made the experience memorable. If you go to Aruba, you must seabob with this company. I will definitely return with my friends.

  • 5/5 Jordan H. 4 years ago on Google
    I've traveled all around the world and done a lot of fun things but this is the single best experience I've had while on vacation. No matter your level of experience, athleticism, or general aquatic knowledge- these Seabobs are amazing. The instructor we had (Bob) was absolutely fantastic and really enjoyed teaching us and sharing the experience. Hands down, the money spent on a Seabob is well worth it. Thank you for what you do!

  • 5/5 Stacy C. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a great tour of the ocean in Aruba during our SeaBob experience. We saw turtles, dragon fish, all sorts of other tropical fish, cool corals, my favorite were the purple ones. The Antilla ship wreck was the coolest one I've seen. We saw a school of blue tangs in Boca Catalina and so much more. There were fish everywhere! It was nice having our guide Leo taking the photos so we could just enjoy the experience. We drank a bit of sea water so just be prepared. I do find snorkeling a bit more relaxing, I wish I had brought my snorkel along, however great experience overall!

  • 5/5 Toni C. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best snorkeling experience on the island. Start on the beach and swim through the ocean with a motorized propeller. We saw tons of fish and coral. They go at your pace and take all the photos for you. All you have to do is enjoy the experience.

  • 5/5 Sara A. 3 years ago on Google
    Out of this world experience! It has always been on my bucket list and so thankful I booked with this company. Leo was so nice and helpful with educating me on the history of the ship wreck and California lighthouse. They were easy to use and so much fun!!! Recommend to anyone!!!

  • 5/5 Mark S. 3 years ago on Google
    My group and I had a great experience with Tonie. The seabobs are awesome and easy to use. We got to see some incredible marine life as well as an awesome underwater shipwreck. During our trip, we saw a seaturtle unfortunately caught in fishing wire. She was barely holding onto life and we were very far out in the ocean. Thankfully, there was a ship close by and Tonie went and grabbed a knife from them. He then took the seabob down to the turtle and cut the turtle loose from the lines and saved her life. It was an amazing experience. I highly recommend this company.

  • 5/5 Mitzi G. 3 years ago on Google
    We had such a wonderful time with Seabob Aruba. It was our first time going out on the seabobs; they were so easy to learn how to use. We saw lots of colorful fish, coral, several sea turtles, star fish, and got to explore a ship wreck. Our guide Leo did a wonderful job of pointing out things to see and made us feel very comfortable. They also took pictures of the whole experience for us. I highly recommend you give them a try!

  • 5/5 Bob C. 4 years ago on Google
    We would have liked for the bottled water to have been colder but the trip was something we will never forget! Great time and if your curious, by the time you go under the second time, you see just how silly your fear of doing this was. If you're even thinking about it, you should go and if you go, choose these guys to take you. Loved every minute of it!!!

  • 5/5 In V. 4 years ago on Google
    I wish I could do it the whole day. We saw lots of fishes and other marine life. Tonie was very knowledgeable about the sea and marine life. The weather and water was a bit cold, though. We and our guide Tonie were shivering afterwards. So, make sure you go on a sunny and warm day. Definitely worth it and way better and cheaper than the tours at Palm Beach. This felt more genuine and got more personal attention from the guides. The tour guide will take underwater pictures while the activity. This will be sold to you for an extra $40. Tip: check what day the best weather has before booking, because Seabob Aruba can handle last minute bookings.

  • 5/5 Carolyn K. 5 years ago on Google
    We LOVED this activity. I'm a plus size, out of shape, non-water person who really enjoyed the seabob. Bob was our guide; he was very attentive to our novice abilities and kept a watchful eye on my especially. I felt very safe and yet able to enjoy the water. We had a great time and would go again!

  • 5/5 Maarten S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great experience and adventure with the Seabob. Nice guests who show you and experience the underwater world of Aruba. (Original) Geweldige ervaring en avontuur met de Seabob. Leuke gasten die je de onderwater wereld van Aruba laten zien en beleven.

  • 5/5 Ashley R. 4 years ago on Google
    We just finished our Seabob tour and this was the best thing we did the whole trip! The water was warm and perfectly clear! Our guide was so nice and we were able to learn quickly! We saw all kinds of fish and turtles. We went to the ship wreck off the coast and spent so much time out there! I think I would have felt scared without the seabob but I felt totally safe! Skip the boat tours with snorkels, this is so much better. We also felt like our guide tailored our experience to our abilities as we got lucky and went during the slow season and it was only us two with the guide! So much fun, I wish I could give over 5 stars!

  • 5/5 Lauren L. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I had never tried this before, but we wanted to snorkel while we were in Aruba and found out about this ... we absolutely LOVED it! Our guide was Bob and he was simply amazing! He had us laughing the whole time and made us feel comfortable with the machine before going out into the ocean. I was especially nervous, but Leo and Tony, the other staff, were very helpful and answered all our questions. The tour itself was incredible and Bob gave us great information about the Antilla shipwreck and the sea life! We were fortunate enough to see starfish, different types of beautiful fish and even sea turtles! It was one of the best opportunities I’ve ever experienced! If you’re on the fence about trying this excursion, take the plunge and DO IT! As Bob said, “You only live once, so make sure you enjoy it twice!”

  • 5/5 CAMACHO T. 4 years ago on Google
    This tour was the best !! No complain the best tour i ever had!!

  • 5/5 Jun L. 4 years ago on Google
    Seabob Aruba was an amazing experience. We were nervous about doing seabob since none of us had ever snorkel or dive before. But our guide Tony was excellent. He was super nice and friendly which made us feel more comfortable. Afterwards he even took a detour on our drive back to show us some of the local shops.

  • 5/5 Kraig K. 4 years ago on Google
    Highlight of our trip to Aruba. We stumbled over Seabob only a few days before we arrived while looking for snorkeling trips. How glad we were to find this instead. This turned out to be the funnest thing we did while in Aruba...and so easy to get the hang of. Once you stop wrestling the with the seabob and just relax, you realize it takes subtle actions to steer it. Hint, use high power to dive, then back off and cruise underwater. Anyway, Tonie and Bob were the best. They clearly enjoy doing the excursion which just increases the fun for everyone involved. I would have no problem doing this each day on vacation.

  • 5/5 Gina M. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great experience I had w/ Leo today! He made me feel very comfortable and safe and took a ton of amazing pics!! Total adventure. Can't wait to do it again on my next trip :)

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic time in the ocean . . . . Don't hesitate to book a tour!!

  • 5/5 jdholdgate 5 years ago on Google
    We went out with our instructor Leo in a group of five ranging in diving/swimming skills and everyone had an amazing time. One of the greatest experiences of a lifetime!! Would give more stars if I could!

  • 5/5 Beth W. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic morning with Leo. Everything was explained so well. They wanted to make sure we had a positive experience and we did. Saw turtles, shipwreck, fish, sea stars and more. Great company! Don’t pass up this adventure.

  • 5/5 Perry R. 5 years ago on Google
    Truly amazing adventure. Thanks to our guide Leo we saw lots of turtles. I highly recommend this company!

  • 5/5 Brendan O. 4 years ago on Google
    Seabob Aruba is a wonderful experience that anyone can do. You don't have to be a swimmer, and it's much more fun than snorkeling. The staff are great and you are in the water 100% of the time. It's fantastic from the moment they pick you up at your hotel (included in the price) until they drop you off, and it's a ton of fun a well. This was my second time and I'll be back!

  • 5/5 sebastien c. 5 years ago on Google
    Super good expérience. Thanks to Tony ! I recommend this company. Awesome professional people and friendly.
