When we arrived at Aruba it was clear that we would make a snorkeling trip. The question was where to book it. Someone recommanded captain Rene and his private snorkeling trip. It was THE best snorkeling trip we have ever made! Private, instead of all the large groups ons catamarans. Free drinks and enjoying company. On behalf of Rene this... More

For a relaxed, friendly, uncrowded snorkeling trip, Captain Rene is the way to go. This is far better, in fact it is incomparable, to the larger catamaran and boat trips. Rene is easy going and makes you feel like a life long friend after just a few minutes. The snorkeling site he brought us to was shallow but had a... More

Captain Rene was the nicest and most accomodating person we've met. He was very informative and made the trip amazing. He made my son who is 10 and my daughter who is 4 fearless of the ocean and snorkeling. My children have been talking non stop about "the best thing they've ever done!" snorkeling in Aruba with Captain Rene. More

After a mix up on are part, Captain Rene was gracious enough to take us on an evening snorkeling trip. We had four of us; Mom and Dad and Erin and Lexi(11 and 10). The girls had never snorkeled before. At the beginning we saw an old ship reck. It was hard to see because of the light. When we... More

We were on a cruise ship and went to the bus depot just a short walk from the ship. For $1.30 each way you can go to any beach in Aruba via bus. We went to Arashi beach which is the last stop and is by the lighthouse on the end of the island. You can rent a chair for... More

Rene was knowledgeable, guided us to excellent dive sites, and... More
