I read the reviews, as well, and can only say that I am happy to see that most are very positive reviews, and recent. There are likely other independent charters available, too, in Aruba. We have had great luck booking independent excursions in the past and will hope this is another memorable one. If you are interested, would love to have you join us.

Yes, you are correct on all counts. This excursion is not through HAL and is not an approved Olivia excursion. It is a private charter so our small group of 10-12 women would be the only passengers on the boat.

If you have any other questions, just let me know!

I could be interested However, I did see a couple of non-positive reviews about Captain Anthony (Captain Mike retired or sold boat?) in terms of customer service (the pick up place was changed without notice to one group and another commenter also commented on less than friendly service. On the plus side, the place they go has lots of great fish. So, not sure what to do. But I do like different snorkeling!

Let me see if I understand what you said...

- this excursion is NOT through Holland America Line; this excursion is NOT an approved Olivia excursion...correct?

-this excursion IS a private tour or excursion...correct?

Yes - I'm so happy to hear that she had a wonderful time on this excursion. We've reserved El Tranquilo for a private southside lunch excursion and are looking for 8-10 Ladies of Olivia to share the excursion with us. If you're interested, we will still have room for another 6-8 women, so maybe you can help us spread the word so that we can keep this private charter booked.

My partner had taken this cruise many, many years ago and was looking forward to sharing the experience with me. We were told a group from our ship had chartered the boat for that day. Is this an excursion through Olivia or a private party? We sure would like to join you. Sandy and Sheryl
