All around fun activity for the family. It ends on a high note with awesome rope swing into the water. Drinks were plentiful and food was decent and improved since last time we went. Good time was had by all.

This is a must. There are cruises to suit everyone! Sunset, snorkel, romance, you name it. We never miss a visit with the jolly pirates while in Aruba, it is lots of fun, for all ages. You won't be disappointed.

Arrrrgh Captain Rick and crew made this a very fun experience. Mixed group of Pirates- some young, some very young and those of us that are young at heart. It was Captain Ricks birthday and a group of girls had a newly engaged member. So party harty- it was a blast. We would do this again (would be our 3rd)... More

I did the 4S tour (sail, snorkel, swim & swing). You sail in a nice sail ship and snorkel in the Antilla sunk ship (with thousands of fishes) and on the reefs. Beautiful. At the end you will have a fair meal and swing in a rope jumping to the sea. Thrilling. But the best is the crew. They joke... More

Greatest deal of our life. It was only $38 pp and we were able to snorkel a shipwreck and beach, use the rope swing, and best of all, there were free mixed drinks for the entire tour. I would have paid much more for this had I known how much fun it would be.

Amazing staff, food, and snorkelling! Definitely an Adventure to remember! The day we went was a little stormy but it was still super awesome. We saw tons of amazing ocean life including a tent octopus, sea snake, and barracuda. Don't wear jewellery! Highly recommended for families!

We are in our late 20's, so we had a very good time. Most of the ship were in their late teens or early 20's. I was afraid it might get too rowdy, but that was not the case. Our ship crew was very funny, helpful, polite, and fun. It seemed like everyone on the ship had a great time.... More

Fantastic!!! It was definitely worth the money. Crew is awesome. Open bar, snorkeling, and rope swing. Food was surprising great. Book online and save I believe 12%. We do this every year.

My husband and I did the morning cruise and had a complete blast. The staff was extraordinarily friendly and funny, the booze was endless and the rope swing was a blast. The snorkeling was amazing also. We got to snorkel right over the Antilla shipwreck and it was soooo cool! Also did I mention the open bar? The value of... More
