Return Details

Returns to original departure point
Find your way to Oranjestad's the De Palm Pier in time for the tour's 11:30am departure. 

Board a transfer boat bound for the Seaworld Explorer, waiting for your group near Aruba's Arashi Reef. Once you climb into the semi-sub, descend into the glassed-in viewing space, submerged just under the surface of the water. Your captain will navigate around the teeming reef, providing commentary about the underwater world. A marine expert is on hand to answer any questions. 

Move on to the Antilla, a 423-foot (128 meter) German freighter destroyed during World War II. Now only partially submerged in about 60 feet (20 meters) of water, it is a popular place for both underwater animals and bird life. 

Return to shore after 90 minutes.

Very enjoyable experience. Loved the tour guide. We would recommend this trip to everyone. As a scuba diver that was able to dive the Antilles wreck on Monday, it was a wonderful time enjoying this on Thursday with my non-diving wife.

Very well organized. Schedule was well maintained. Saw a lot of fish of different types under the water. Can see the remains of the Antilla ship too. Our 6 yr old daughter loved it. Definitely something to do with kids.

Better for Children than Adults
Jenny_S
, Feb 2020
The experience was okay. The day we went we didn't see many fish, which is certainly not the fault of the tour. We saw more fish during our snorkeling tour, and actually were able to see the shipwreck better that way as well. The tour guide, Angie, was a lovely woman. She was knowledgeable and entertaining. She definitely catered to the children on the boat, so if you have children I would recommend this. If you're adults traveling without children, I would recommend you snorkel instead for viewing fish and the Antilla Shipwreck. If it had cost more than the $47.00 per person I would have given it a lower rating. However, I think we got our money's worth.

This tour was an enjoyable and well planned excursion. We saw a number of schools of tropical fish and the shipwreck "Antillia" off the northwest coast in Aruba. Angie, the tour guide had a wealth of knowledge to share and she was very entertaining.
