Overview

Boarding happens at the dock behind Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar on L.G. Smith Boulevard in Oranjestad, where the catamaran is tied up at the end of the dock. The sail departs at 09:00 and runs for 4.5 hours, returning to the same spot at the end. The included list covers the food and drink side: lunch, snacks, bottled water, soda and alcoholic beverages are all part of the fare, so there is no bar tab to settle on board.

The trip is built around two stops. First is Mangel Halto Beach, where the boat stops for an hour. After that comes the Kappel Shipwreck, a 45-minute stop with free admission. Use of snorkelling equipment is included in the fare.

With a cap of 16 travellers, the boat has a set group size for the day. The listing advises against it for pregnant guests and notes it is not wheelchair accessible. Pushchairs can be brought, and infant seats are available.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you plan the morning, from what is already on board to who the pace suits.

Food and drink. Lunch, snacks, bottled water, soda and alcoholic beverages are all included. The listing does not mention any cash bar or extra purchases on board.
Snorkel gear. Use of snorkelling equipment is included, so there is no need to pack masks or fins. A swimsuit and towel are sensible additions for a morning on the water.
Group size. The listing caps the trip at 16 travellers. That is the maximum number of guests on board for the day.
Weather dependency. The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, a different date or a full refund is offered.
Getting there. Optional pickup is offered for a fee (see the listing), and the meeting point sits near public transportation for anyone making their own way. Arrive with time to walk to the end of the dock behind Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar.
Who it suits. The listing states that most travellers can participate, and pushchairs and infant seats are fine. It is specific that the boat is not wheelchair accessible and that the trip is not recommended for pregnant travellers.

Common issues. The listing states plainly that the trip is not wheelchair accessible and not recommended for pregnant travellers. Weather can end the day entirely, since the sail requires good conditions, and a cancellation for that reason brings a rebooking or a refund. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the 09:00 start receive no refund.

Common Questions

Alcoholic beverages, plus lunch, snacks, bottled water and soda are all included. Use of snorkeling equipment is also provided. Both itinerary stops carry, so no entry fees apply.

Is Hotel Pickup Included?

No, pickup is an optional extra, not included in the fare. The meeting point is the dock behind Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant, L.G. Smith Blvd 82, Oranjestad, and the day ends back at the same place.

How Long Is The Tour?

Is It Suitable For Kids Or Limited Mobility?

Pushchairs are accepted and infant seats are available, so young children can join. The boat is not wheelchair accessible, and the listing says most travellers can participate. Anyone with a heart problem or other serious medical condition is advised against booking.

What Is The Cancellation Policy?

A full refund is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the 09:00 start, based on local Aruba time. Inside that window no refund is given and changes are not accepted. If the operator cancels for poor weather, you get a different date or a full refund.

What Should I Bring?

The listing does not give a packing list. Since snorkelling is part of the day, swimwear is the obvious preparation, and the snorkelling equipment itself is provided along with all food and drinks.
