Before you book

Frequently asked questions

Yes, all boat tours listed here offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Check the specific tour page for the exact policy.

Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt and its waters are calm most of the year, so seasickness is rare. If you are sensitive to motion, take medication beforehand and choose a seat in the middle of the boat.
