My husband and I stopped in Aruba during a stop on a Cruise and were looking for a smaller, more personal trip than what we knew would be offered through the ship's excursions. We found Strea Charters prior to leaving home on Trip Advisor but were disappointed when we realized that the trip times would not work for us due... More

Strea only takes 8 people and this snorkel tour is an excellent value for the money for an intimate tour experience. Even if you do not snorkel, I would recommend this excursion for anyone looking for a leisurely boat ride along the mangroves of Aruba’s western coastline with turquoise waters all around. Mangel Halto is one of the best spots... More

Our family thought this trip was exceptional! It was a relaxing trip out to Mangel Halto and were able to view Aruba's shoreline. The snorkel site was top notch - beautiful brain coral heads, elkhorn coral, abundance of fish, eels, and so much more. Coral was healthy and colorful. After an ample time of snorkeling we enjoyed a wonderful lunch... More

Captain John was a great host and did not disappoint in terms of snorkeling! He takes passengers (just a few at a time) to an incredible spot where views both above and below the sea are spectacular! We had a wonderful time - the snorkeling was second to none and the trip in general was a blast. We also did... More

Large 55 ft motor boat for half day lunch trip to snorkeling spot that exceeded expectations. Fairly shallow coral with plentiful fish. Spent about 1.5 hours in the water. Only 2 other couples went the day we did, so lots of room to move into or out of shade. Captain John is a friendly, laid-back skipper. We had snorkeled in... More

Strea was the best part of our trip to Aruba. John, our captain, was fantastic. He was extremely accommodating and friendly. He made us feel like we were on our very own boat, plus there was only one other couple on our trip. The trip to the reef was about an hour and we had 2 hours at the reef.... More

the snorkeling trip was great even though we had choppy waters. The ride to the site wasn't bad and while the water was a little rough, the fish and sights below the surface were some of the best we have ever seen. it was awesome. the way the reef is located and schools of fish surround the site, it feels...
