We took a cruise the week of January 11th, one of the stops was Aruba. I had contacted Randy a couple weeks prior to our trip and he was really responsive. I had contact a couple other companies and they never replied. Randy was so easy to communicate with via email. We decided to do the 4 hour tour of Aruba for our party of 6 which was 4 adults and 2 children ages 5 and 3. Benjamin was our tour guide. He picked us up right outside the port and had a sign with our last name on it. He told us to stay put because he parked far and he would come get us so we wouldn't have to walk. It was a hot 82 degree day. He pulled up with the van which had plenty of room for us to stretch out. It was nice and air conditioned and clean! The weather that day was strange. It would be sunny and then pour and then stop and it was windy. We didn't let that stop us. We took photos by a couple Aruba signs, saw the 600 step hike. We didn't do the hike, but took photos. It was beautiful. We also saw the rock formations and the natural bridge which was breathtaking. We also saw the lighthouse but didn't climb up. I'm sure it would have had an amazing view, but we wanted to spend a couple hours at the beach. After visiting destinations and giving us some history, Benjamin dropped us off at Eagle Beach for 1.5 - 2 hours. The beach is clean, white sand and blue water. Our family had so much fun. Benjamin waited for us while we hung out at the beach and didn't charge us extra. We had paid for a 4 hour tour, with the beach stop, it was more like like 6 hours! He then took us back to the port so we got back around 1:30. We had time to shop and eat. He recommended The Old Fisherman. This place was reasonably priced and good! My husband and I ordered grilled red snapper and it was only 20 bucks. It came with rice, fries and plantains. We had an amazing time in Aruba and want to spend a few days there. Thanks so much To Alpha Tours, Randy and Benjamin for a fun filled day! I would recommend using this tour company. They are great.

Get up close and personal with Aruba's wildlife in a way that's unique on the island. You'll start your privately guided hike at the Balashi gold mill ruins, where you’ll learn all about its history and enjoy a great view from Spanish Lagoon. You’ll then venture into the surrounding hills and mangroves, where you’ll enjoy Aruba’s local birds and flora. After the hike you can cool off at Mangel Halto, snorkeling past healthy coral reefs under guidance of an experienced, EFR certified private guide. You can expect a private experience that is 100% catered to the pereference and experience level of your group. The activities are extremely versatile and can be adapted on the spot if you decide to take it easy, or want to look for more adventure. Please note that we do not operate by boat. Boat engines are loud and disturb (and potentially damage) marine life. By approaching from shore, you get to access rarely-visited spots that are more vibrant with fish, coral and other marine life.

Inclusions: Private guide, Snacks, Soda/Pop, Use of snorkeling gear, Use of mineral sunscreen (reef-safe), Use of towels, Private transportation, Air-conditioned vehicle

14May2021: The tour with Monica from Fins and Feet was perfect! She picked us up at our resort promptly at 0530 and drove to where we started the hike. On arrival she provided the 3 of us with a backpack complete with water, towel, snorkel and snack. We hiked to the natural pool. Monica was very pleasant and was knowledgeable about Aruba, and answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed Monica as our private tour guide. It was a beautiful sunrise and the water at the Natural pool was perfect for snorkeling. Monica gave some tips for navigating the rocks and entry into the pool. We saw many colorful fish while snorkeling and had the pool to ourselves. After the snorkel we hiked back to the parking lot where we enjoyed some refreshing watermelon. Monica returned us to our resort by 0930. The total hike was 2.95 miles.
