From the desk

Choose this if your group has up to 6 people and wants a short private boat trip. The 2 hour option costs $385 per boat with snorkeling gear included. You need to get to Delphi by the Hyatt Regency at least 20 minutes before departure.
For 3 snorkel stops with up to 10 people, choose Malmok Charters at $900 per boat. For pickup between the Renaissance and the Ritz Carlton, Around Aruba costs $77 per adult for 10 adults over 3 hours.
Who it's not for
