We found Captain Rene through TA, and we’re really glad we did! Before leaving the US, we tried to e-mail and make reservations, but we never received a response. Not sure of the issue there, but the day we arrived in Aruba though, we called and managed to schedule a time on our last day in Aruba. Captain Rene picked... More

Capt. René was an amazing tour guide who was both very nice and also knowledgable regarding the area and history. He took us to two different locations for snorkeling, a quiet and secluded reef and the famous German shipwreck. For a nice surprise at the end he took us to an area where we could pick up and take pictures... More

We had a fun afternoon and would highly recommend Captain Rene! The sun was shining, the marine life was amazing and he mixed up a mean rum punch. Check him out you won't be sorry!

We arrived in Aruba on the Carnival Freedom in April. We love to snorkel so my husband had booked a tour for us and our two boys with Capt. Renee online before we arrived. We dislike the crowded group tours so we usually try to book a private tour. We met Rene a short distance from the cruise port at... More

Thanks again to TA!! We just got back from having a couple of great hours with Capt Rene. I made our reservation with him several weeks ago. Within a day he emailed me back to confirm a time. As he requested I called him to re-confirm when we got to Manchebo. He answered his phone immediately and welcomed us to... More

Renee was easy to find, short walk from the cruise ship dock. He took us for about a 20 minute trip away from the dock to an amazing area; lots of fish, corral and a couple eels. He brought plenty of bottled water and a break fresh fruit snack. We couldn't have been happier. Thank you!! Captn Renee.

I highly recommend Captain Rene for a truly private snorkeling adventure. He knew just where to go and was very attentive to our needs. What's really great is the experience he provides is far different than that of the large commercial tour boats, ideal for serious snorkeling. He is also very safety conscious and we really appreciated that.

My wife and I had done a "Big boat" snorkeling tour 14 years ago on our honeymoon in Aruba, and although it seemed great at the time, that was because we didn't know better. We decided to go back to Aruba this year with our children, ages 11 and 8, and researched other options before going this time. Found great... More

Capt Rene provides a customized snorkeling experience. He picked us up on our beach right on time. He allowed us to decide where we wanted to go and how long to stay. The snorkeling was fantastic. The equipment fit very well and did not leak. The two dive sights that we chose had many beautiful fish including squid and the... More
