Traveler Reviews

This excursion was exactly what I had been looking for! I wanted to do a unique activity that was different from lounging on the beach all day and would get us up and walking. The chance to explore and ask questions with a private guide makes this experience worth every penny. Rob’s passion for wildlife is hard to miss. He enthusiastically pointed out every plant, bird, and landmark along the way. His knowledge of the island ecosystem at a young age is truly inspirational. Some of the best parts of this tour were the breathtaking views overlooking the Balashi Ruins and cactus-covered valleys. I felt like I was on top of the world. This intimate evening hike through the scenic mangrove forest —away from the crowds and tourists—was the perfect way to end our vacation. Looking forward to another adventure with Fins and Feet the next time we come to Aruba.

The private hiking tour was perfectly tailored to our needs. We have a 3 year old who was able to enjoy the hike as well. The nature is spectacular and Rob was so knowledgeable about the area and the flora and fauna. We are already looking forward to our next private tour with Rob!

My husband and I took the Mangrove Hike tour with the Pristine Reef snorkel added on. Rob was an amazing guide. He was smart, knowledgeable and passionate. We enjoyed the hike, and learned a lot about the island. From there we went snorkeling at a beautiful reef at Mangel Halto where we drift snorkeled. One of the best things we’ve ever done on Aruba and we’ve been coming for 15 years! We will certainly tour with Rob again next year!
