Our team's take

The Dolphin catamaran is a beautiful boat, and we made sure to grab a spot on the trampoline up front, which is actually my tip too: get there early, because lying out on the water while cruising is the best seat on board. We made two snorkel stops, at the Antilla shipwreck and at Boca Catalina, and I was struck by how well organized the fish feeding was, it was honestly impressive to see all those colors swimming around you. There was also a water slide and a rope swing to jump into the sea from the boat, which had everyone laughing. The crew kept a great vibe going and there was plenty of room on board, with some shade too for anyone who wanted a break from the sun. With the open bar, lunch, and tropical fruit included, the whole three hour trip felt relaxed and complete.

Catamaran snorkeling tour with Delphi was great! We really enjoyed both snorkeling locations—the shipwreck and Boca Catalina Reef. The ride itself was smooth and enjoyable, and the three-hour duration felt just right for the price. The catamaran also has some really fun extras, including a rope swing and a slide, which are especially great when traveling with children. From what I understand, these features also help distinguish Delphi from some of the other catamaran options in Aruba and definitely added to the fun of the experience. I also want to give a special shoutout to Jersey, one of the crew members, whose upbeat, fun, and genuinely happy attitude made the experience even better! Having now experienced both a private snorkeling tour and a group tour with Delphi, I personally preferred the private experience. The group catamaran was fairly crowded and felt a bit more commercial, particularly with the fish feeding during snorkeling and the loud music playing on the boat. That said, I’m not taking any stars off for this, because I realize these things may be perfectly enjoyable—and even part of the fun—for many people taking a group snorkeling tour. For me personally, though, they felt a little unnecessary and intense. When you’re surrounded by the sound of the ocean and already have plenty of fish to see around the reef, I prefer a more peaceful and natural experience. Overall, we had a great time. The snorkeling spots were beautiful, the tour was well organized, and the rope swing and slide made it an especially fun option for families with kids.

Jersey and crew were amazing! The rum punch was awesome and they can make a few other rum drinks too! The snorkeling was great! We saw the California shipwreck and went to a more shallower location. Both shipwrecks will have choppy water if you go during the windy season, but it was still amazing! Good times! Highly recommend! Light snacks so bring your own or eat before/after. Easy to set the reservation and pay. Easy to check in down at the beach, and parking is across the street for about $7. Highly recommended.great music, great vibes the whole trip. Wasn’t too crowded either.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Aruba! We had an incredible time on the Dolphin One Catamaran and Snorkeling Cruise. The boat was spotless, the snorkeling stops were beautiful, and the entire day was perfectly organized. Captain Oscar and Co Captain Jersey were outstanding. They were professional, fun, and kept everyone laughing while making sure we were safe and having a great time. Their energy and personalities really made the experience special. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat every guest. The music, drinks, food, snorkeling, and the stunning turquoise water all came together for an unforgettable day. If you’re looking for a fun, lively excursion with an amazing crew, don’t hesitate to book this trip. Thank you, Captain Oscar and Captain Jersey, for giving our group memories we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to come back and sail with you again!

Went for a private boat snorkel tour and it was perfect! Our captain was very kind and very knowledgeable. It was a 2 hour activity and we enjoyed every minute of it. Ended the tour with a short boat tour from Malmok to Manchebo beach! It was great! Thank you for all and till next time!
