Frequently asked

Questions guests ask before booking this tour

GetYourGuide lists the exact inclusions on the booking page — typically snorkel gear and life vests, drinks (often open bar), light food or lunch on the longer trips, and crew. Hotel pickup is sometimes included depending on the operator. Check the operator's inclusion list before booking; this comparison page surfaces the headline product, not every detail.

This tour starts at From $113 per person on GetYourGuide on our last refresh. Prices vary by date, season, and group size, and private-charter options are priced by the boat rather than per head. Click the Book button to see live pricing for your dates.

Most tours on GetYourGuide offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Look for the cancellation policy on the GetYourGuide tour page before booking — it's flagged prominently on the offer card.

Sunset slots are the highest-demand window for Aruba — the boat times its course to put the golden hour off the bow. Book at least a week ahead for weekends and high season. Adult-only minimum age varies by operator; check the booking page.

You don't need to be a strong swimmer — operators provide life vests and snorkel gear, and the crew watches the water at each stop. If you have specific concerns, message the operator through GetYourGuide before booking; they reply within hours.

December – April (dry season, steady trade winds). Shoulder months (may, june, november (shoulder bargains)) are the best-value window — smaller crowds, lower prices, mostly the same conditions. Avoid september – october (hurricane window).

10–15 % cash to the captain at the end. Cash to the captain at the end of the trip — they share with the deckhands. Service is sometimes included on private charters; check the booking confirmation.

Yes — several of the larger Aruba day-charter catamarans have water slides off the back of the boat (popular with families and kid groups). It's a feature you can filter for; check the offer card photos before booking.
