Top Aruba Stand Up Paddleboarding

This was so worth the money. The staff was amazing and they truly know how to have fun and make your experience great!!! We had Captain David, Chino and Oloy. I wouldn’t want to be on any other catamaran. They really know how to give you the best experience of snorkeling and the sunset!!!!! I highly recommend to everyone!!!!!

The boat and crew were awesome! Fun lively and very hospitable. Snorkeling sites were great and not only did we see turtles, we saw two turtles come to the surface to breathe. Food was good for being served on a boat at sea! The captain knew where and when to go for optimum snorkeling and sunset views. Highly recommend this boat and company ❤️

Such an interesting one! Our tour guide was super friendly and was an excellent resource on how a water-hit construction zone used to be a popular bar & how the mangroves sprout in the area. We really enjoyed!

Great short kayaking trip! Surf was a little high still due to a recent storm but that also made it fun from a different perspective. Guide was informative and instructions were clear for safety and navigation.

My family had the most amazing time on the catamaran! The entire staff was kind, friendly, and accommodating! I want to give a shout out to Eloy. He went out of his way to make our experience memorable- from giving us tons of helpful tips/history of the island to dancing with us! The food and drinks were great. We saw sea turtles and lots of beautiful fish! The sunset was BEAUTIFUL! We loved the small size of the crowd on the boat and would do the tour again without hesitation!

We had a great time on the snorkeling and sunset tour! The experience was fun and well organized, and we had a chance to snorkel at 3 different locations and see the WWII shipwreck. David and Eloi were very helpful, friendly, and fun throughout the trip, which made the experience even better. The food was also really good, and enjoying the tour while watching the sunset was a perfect way to end the day. Highly recommend this tour!

Rayed this a 5 of 5 due to our guide. It was easy to book and fun to kayak to the island. However, the only glass we saw was small pieces of green beer bottles.

This tour was absolutely worth it; we would do it again in a heartbeat. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned.The glass-bottom kayak made it easy to see the ocean floor when the water was shallow, which was such a unique and interesting experience. Our guide was fantastic, friendly, helpful, and very personable. He made sure we were comfortable navigating the kayak, explained how to use the oars, and kept the experience fun and easygoing.He pointed out wildlife along the way (we even saw turtles!), shared interesting history about the island and mangroves, and gave great local dining recommendations. He also took photos for us throughout the tour, which was such a nice bonus.To top it off, we were treated to chilled iced tea and fresh fruit at the end, such a thoughtful touch.If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing way to experience the ocean and see Aruba from a different perspective, we highly recommend this tour and guide.

This one is a little complicated to review because the excursion we actually took was NOT the excursion we booked.Carnival had already cancelled our original Aruba excursion, so my husband and I spent HOURS trying to find something similar. We specifically chose Spronk’s Sunset Champagne & Lobster cruise because it was adults-only, limited to 16 people, and sounded exactly like what we wanted: smaller crowd, champagne, lobster, sunset and a little romance.You get the picture. 😂We booked it and headed to the marina thinking our Aruba plans had finally been rescued.Then, while we were sitting at the marina about an hour before departure, we got a WhatsApp message asking if we could reschedule for Thursday because only one other couple had booked.Ummm…we were on a cruise ship. Thursday was going to be a little difficult. 😂They offered to move us to their snorkeling excursion instead, which included a WWII shipwreck. My husband enjoys snorkeling. I do not. So while “WWII shipwreck snorkeling” may sound exciting to plenty of people, it was not exactly the romantic Champagne & Lobster experience I had just spent hours trying to find.Jordan assured us that we would still get our champagne and lobster and offered us a partial refund, so we agreed. At that point, what else were we going to do?To Spronk’s credit, they really did try to make things right.They let us board first so we could choose where we wanted to sit—and naturally we claimed the netted area at the front. 😂 They also gave us a full bottle of champagne, made sure we received our lobster, and Captain David, Jordan and Aloys treated us like VIPs throughout the trip.The catamaran itself was clean, but it was definitely smaller and more crowded than what I had originally wanted. If we had not been given the VIP treatment and allowed to choose our spot first, I honestly think I would have felt it was too crowded for my personal taste.My husband snorkeled at the stops and enjoyed himself, although he said the WWII shipwreck itself was nothing especially memorable. I stayed onboard, enjoyed the boat and the water, and worked very hard at my assigned task of drinking champagne aboard a Catamaran in Aruba. 😂The food was excellent. It was catered by a local restaurant and genuinely delicious. The lobster itself was good, although honestly not particularly memorable—but by that point I was probably still mourning my intimate little sunset cruise. 😂Captain David also shared a special concoction from his home country of Colombia with my husband, which was such a fun and personal touch. That is the kind of thing we remember.The crew was absolutely the best part of this experience. I cannot say enough good things about Captain David, Jordan and Aloys. They were warm, funny, attentive and genuinely seemed determined to make sure we still had a great day even though things had not gone according to plan.Now…there was one additional challenge to our romantic afternoon.A few young ladies onboard became a little too friendly with the open bar, and one of them spent quite a bit of the trip getting sick.Repeatedly.So…champagne? Yes.Lobster? Yes.Romantic atmosphere?Wellllll…nothing says romance quite like someone throwing up nearby. 😂Obviously, I do not blame Spronk for another adult’s drinking choices. But between the larger crowd and that situation, it definitely was not the intimate, romantic experience my husband and I had originally booked. That is really why this is a 4-star review rather than a full 5.BUT—and this is a big but—the ride back was an absolute blast.Captain David and the crew cranked up the music, and somehow the boat turned into one big international sing-along. People from all different races, cultures and countries were singing songs at the top of our lungs and laughing together.Well…most of us.The snobby ones and the ones who had enjoyed the open bar a little TOO enthusiastically were not exactly leading the chorus. 😂At some point, our romantic sunset cruise had officially become a floating multicultural karaoke party.And you know what?We had FUN.By the end of the trip, I actually told Jordan and the crew to keep the partial refund they had offered us. They had genuinely tried to make the best of a difficult situation, and I appreciated that.That probably says more than anything else.We started the afternoon disappointed that our excursion had essentially been cancelled an hour before departure.We ended it singing at the top of our lungs, laughing, and telling them to keep the refund.Would I book Spronk again? Yes.But next time, I want the actual Champagne & Lobster cruise I originally reserved. 😂Captain David, Jordan and Aloys—you guys were fantastic. Thank you for turning a pretty big disappointment into a genuinely memorable afternoon.4 stars for the overall experience. Absolutely 5 stars for the crew.

The tour guides were incredibly engaging, fun and knowledgeable, ensuring that the experience was both enjoyable and informative. Their expertise and passion for the subject matter made the tour well worth the money. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching experience.

We had such a fun time on the snorkeling sunset cruise! The food was really good, and the entire experience was relaxed, enjoyable, and well organized.The captain Diego and first mate Aloys worked incredibly hard to keep everyone safe while also making sure the atmosphere stayed fun and entertaining. You could tell they genuinely cared about everyone having a great experience.Beautiful sunset, good food, great crew, and lots of fun—we would definitely do this cruise again! 🌅🤿⛵

The Captain, David, the lifeguard, Jordan and the bar-tender, Alois, made this trip memorable and spectacular! This is not hyperbole! It was wonderful! The food was scrumptious. There was plenty to see and do and experience. My brother and I do not drink alcoholic beverages. But, that's okay. There was plenty of juice, non-alcoholic beverages to choose from. I would definitely do this trip again, in a heartbeat!

We had such a wonderful time snorkeling in Aruba! The trip was the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and great food. Snorkeling around the fascinating WWII shipwreck was a highlight, and we were thrilled to see so many colorful fish and even some beautiful sea turtles. It was an unforgettable way to experience Aruba’s underwater beauty.The boat was comfortable, but the friendly and welcoming staff truly made the day special. The crew was fun, attentive, and made everyone feel at ease from start to finish. They created such a warm, enjoyable atmosphere on board.We ended the trip with a delicious BBQ dinner, which was the perfect finishing touch to an already amazing day.I highly recommend this snorkeling excursion to anyone visiting Aruba. Between the shipwreck, marine life, tasty food, and wonderful crew, it was an experience we’ll always remember!

Crew members were truly spectacular! Super knowledgeable and attentive! Will definitely do again if ever back in Aruba, which most likely happen!

I traveled with 7 adults and 7 children with their ages ranging from 5-14. The crew was wonderful even with our small children! David, chino, Jordan, and Eloi made for a great experience for all! The food was excellent and the snorkeling spots were amazing. My children said it was their favorite excursion in Aruba! Thank you again to the wonderful crew for memory filled trip!

We enjoyed our sunset cruise with this company. Pickup was 30+ minutes late but they texted me to let me know which was appreciated. The staff was friendly and the dinner was decent enough for a cruise. When they say open bar however it means you can only get mixed drinks and they put very little alcoholic in the drinks (and it’s bottom of the barrel liquor). For the price we paid I would have liked something better.
