What people say:

  This tour was an absolute blast. Rob made us feel very comfortable explaining the plan of the day and answering all questions before getting into the water. Once swimming... read more up to the reef, he was kind enough to switch his own googles with me as I was running into some small leakage problems with my mask. The reef was a stunner with a variety of fish and corals - the highlights were 2 eel fish and and an octopus that we saw. We had ample time and space to explore the reef freely as there was no one else around except us, plus it was a rather easy swim with not a lot of currents in the water. Rob was taking pictures throughout the tour and shared them with us afterwards. We had an amazing time and highly recommend Rob's tour to everyone! Well deserved 5 stars.

  Our favorite excursion o Aruba - fabulous!

All our pre-arrival communication with Rob was professional and timely. He greeted us promptly the morning of our hike and came well-prepared... read more with individual small backpacks for each of us that contained a water bottle, a towel, snorkel gear, a flashlight, and a granola bar.

After a pleasant short drive, during which Rob chatted pleasantly, we arrived in the park. Rob provided wrist bands for each of us and we set out on the hike. Rob set a pace, but checked in on all of us, chatted about the park, the landscape, etc. It was a nice way to get some exercise and stretch our legs after sitting on the beach the day before!

We arrived at the natural pool at sunrise and had it COMPLETELY to ourselves. We snorkeled for over 30 minutes, during which Rob snorkeled with us, pointed out interesting features (coral, a small octopus, etc.) and - for the braver of us - escorted us to another path that led to a jump off the rocks. As we were leaving, several tourists and local visitors were arriving - we felt so fortunate to have been able to experience the natural pool on our own (the benefits of waking up at 5am!)

The hike out of the park was beautiful - it felt like a completely different hike once the sun was up and we could really appreciate the beauty surrounding us. Rob kept up his pleasant and knowledgeable commentary about the park, Aruba. etc. He even took the time to find a blooming barrel cactus so he could remove the fruit for us to sample!

After Rob provided us with some cold watermelon back at the car, our return ride had us back in time for coffee, breakfast, and a full day of fun at our resort. It was a wonderful way to begin the day and offered a spectacular experience showcasing the natural beauty of the island.

After our tour Rob sent a follow up email that included free files of photos and videos he took during our excursion with his GoPro. Rob is extremely professional and we were impressed by his entrepreneurial venture at such a young age - he will go far!

Note: do not wear flip flops or cute shoes. It is a hike over rocks and sand - recommend sports sandals (Keens, Chacos, etc.) or running shoes.

  We have been on regular tourist snorkeling trips in Aruba before and this one was, by far, the best, most well run and exciting snorkeling adventure out there. We loved... read more that it was private and felt that we got to learn more about the island and its history because of that. The guidance and expertise we had during snorkeling was beyond what was expected and Rob even took us on a tour through parts of the town to see the amazing murals painted by local residents. There are other tours offered by Fins & Feet Nature Tours which sounded amazing. We didn't have time this trip to experience those, but definitely next time. I highly recommend Fins and Feet Nature Tours and will be using them for more adventures next time we visit Aruba.

  Rob was absolutely amazing. He was so patient and so knowledgeable! We had so much fun!! I highly recommend using his service when coming to Aruba!!

  I took my two teenage daughters on this excursion and it was awesome. Rob was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the plan for the day. He... read more took lots of pictures for us, pointed out various fish and made sure we had a fun experience. Great time was had by all!

  We have been snorkeling around the Aruba and the Caribbean and this was one of the best run and guided we have been on. Rob is the perfect guide... read more - he teaches you about equipment, leads you calmly and points out fish during the snorkel. Also, we never saw any other people the entire trip. Great trip - can't wait to try others with him in the future.

  Just book this excursion and rest easy knowing that Rob will take great care of your group! There was great communication with Rob prior to the hike. He said he... read more would pick us up at our hotel at 5:30 am, and he pulled up at 5:30 am ON THE DOT (pretty impressive). There was plenty of hand sanitizer available (Aruba Aloe brand- also recommend buying some as a souvenir!) and Rob encouraged us all to keep our masks on inside the car.
Since the hike begins just before 6am, it's completely dark, but Rob provided individual flashlights for all of us. Not only did he provide flashlights, he also packed individual backpacks for each of us (including a towel, granola bars, water, and snorkeling gear).
The hike itself isn't very strenuous, a bit rocky at spots. It was about 2 miles to the pool and 2 miles back (4 miles total). I did this excursion while 5 months pregnant, and did absolutely fine.
Rob was a wonderful guide, pointing out various wildlife such as ospreys, eagles, land crabs, and brain coral. He explained the history of the terrain, why certain areas were sandy and why there was so much coral, and also pointed out some vegetation unique to Aruba.
As you hike, the sky starts to lighten and the view is just phenomenal. We arrived at the natural pool with 15 minutes to spare before sunrise, giving us ample time to wander around and pick out a great spot for pictures. We also had a surprise sunrise proposal planned for my friend in the group. The proposal pictures came out amazing against the sunrise backdrop!
After the sunrise, we made our way down to the natural pool. The waves were a bit too rough to snorkel, but we were still able to swim around. It was an incredible experience!
We were able to dry off with the towels Rob provided us and were pretty much completely dry by the time we hiked back to the truck. The sun was started to get a bit hot towards the end of the hike, so I couldn't imagine beginning the hike after sunrise. Heading out early in the morning is definitely the way to go.
Rob surprised us again at the truck with ice cold watermelon to quench our thirsts and hunger. Wow- he really thinks of everything! We were back at our hotel before 8:30am with the entire day still at our disposal. Amazing time!!! Book this excursion, you won't regret it!

  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... read more Rob was so knowledgeable about the area and the flora and fauna. We are already looking forward to our next private tour with Rob!

  We feel so lucky to have discovered Rob and his tour company. Knowledgeable, friendly, conscientious about the environment, and attentive to the needs and interests of his participants, Rob was... read more the perfect guide. We were also impressed by his attention to details like bringing backpacks for us to carry water and snacks, teaching us tricks for optimizing our snorkeling techniques, and bringing lunch made from his own homegrown avocados. We are so grateful that we chose to explore the island with Rob instead of with a larger tour company. I hope I am able to recommend him to many future travelers to Aruba.

  We had such a great tour with Rob when we were in Aruba! He picked us up at our hotel, and he followed all covid guidelines, so we always... read more felt safe and taken care of. He was so knowledgeable while we hiked in the national forest and snorkeled in the sea. He took care of all of the details, with water and snacks and any equipment we needed. Another thing that we loved is that Rob had so much respect for the environment around us and he used reusable containers and followed all of the rules to keep the trails and the sea clean. Thank you Rob!

  We really enjoyed this private hike and snorkel excursion. The hike gave us a chance to see more of the island with our knowledgeable tour guide, Rob. A... read more good mix of nature and exercise! A surprise trip to the Donkey Sanctuary gave us more insight to the islands history and a chance to spend time with donkeys, peacocks, and roosters. ending with a snorkeling adventure where we saw plenty of underwater “friends”! Would recommend.

  We did this tour with Rob today. It was the best experience we had in all of Aruba. The hike was amazing and the snorkeling was incredible. Rob was very... read more knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour, both land and sea. We will definitely book another guided tour with him next time we are on the island.

  Our family, consisting of 2 adults and 3 teenagers, had a fantastic experience with Fins and Feet Nature Tours on our trip to Aruba. Communication with Miranka... read more via Whatsapp was very easy and we booked the private snorkeling lesson. We received a very thorough email after booking that contained information on what we should bring (very little) and where to meet Rob. Rob met us, on time, at our hotel and we followed him to the location. Right away, Rob put us at ease and made us feel like we had known him for years. Rob grew up on the island and has a deep understanding of the environment and a passion to preserve it. After some very clear instruction and information, we entered the water and had an amazing experience. We saw an abundance of wildlife, including lots of different types of fish, turtles, stingrays, and more. After we left the water, Rob had snacks for everyone and even asked about allergies and sensitivities beforehand. Everyone had such a good time that we decided to book the more advanced snorkeling at a pristine coral reef for 3 days later. This time we met Rob at the location and again received instruction and information that made us very comfortable following Rob on a drift snorkel over a beautiful active reef where we saw hundreds of different types of fish, eels, soft and hard corals. Overall, our experience with Rob and Miranka at Fins and Feet Nature Tours was amazing and we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a more personalized guided experience of Aruba.

  This was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Aruba! We were so grateful to have discovered Rob and Miranka early in our Aruba experience. They provided a unique and... read more unparalleled view of Aruba's natural environment through a friendly and engaging hike and snorkel experience.

Miranka was organized and conscientious in providing responsive and detailed information about when and where to meet and what to bring for the excursion. She answered every question we had and we were prepared for a great day! She also followed up after the tour to ensure that we had a great experience.

Rob was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. He matched the hike speed and effort to our pace and pointed out the natural beauty and wildlife along the way. As an Aruban native, Rob has a knowledge and appreciation for the island that we have not seen from other tours. He is kind, expert, and humorous. He provided wonderful snacks and refreshments throughout the excursion. He also took photos and then sent a wonderful portfolio of photos after the day.

This experience would be great solo, as a couple, or as a family!

If you are looking for an authentic, eco-friendly experience of Aruba, look no further. We signed up for several hikes and snorkels with Rob and Miranka following our initial hike/snorkel because it was so enjoyable and it remains the best part of our memories. Can't wait to go back and see them again!

  This is a hike that you will never be able to experience anywhere else or with anyone else but Rob and Fins and Feet! You get picked up at your... read more hotel at 5:30 AM and it’s dark! When you get to Arikok park, Rob gives you small handheld flashlights and you start your hike. No worries about the difficulty here this hike is more about the sunrise although it is about 4 miles to the sunrise spot and back. As you’re hiking the sky starts to brighten and you start to get a glimpse of what your morning will be like! When you get to the sunrise spot and natural pool, it’s breathtaking!! We were lucky that my husband was able to snorkel in the natural pool because sometimes the waves are too rough. He said it was awesome! On the hike back you see all kinds of wildlife and Rob is very good at pointing it out! We saw 5 eagles and Rob says he has never seen that many at once! Heading back it starts to get warm but this is the beauty of hiking so early it’s not too hot....we were back at our hotel before 8:30 ready to have breakfast and so happy we woke up early on a vacation day to have this one of a kind experience!! Thank you Rob for a beautiful morning and great workout!

  If you like to do something “different” rather than the boring old “bus tours” this is for you!! My husband and I (57 year olds!) did this climb with Rob... read more last night and it was awesome!! It’s not easy and gets technical at times with rock scrambles but Rob is great at guiding and assisting you so you make the right moves. He should be because HE mapped out this hike himself and is also the only tour guide on the island that does this hike! There are steps to go up and down (Rob takes you down the steps!) but don’t be like every other tourist and take the steps up....book this hike with Rob you will be so proud of yourself when you reach the top! The sunset and views at the too are breathtaking!!!
Not only is he a great guide but he was born and raised on the island and has a wealth of information about the going’s on here and also nature and wildlife! We learned a lot and saw tons of cool stuff! Book this tour!!! Thank you Rob!!

  We really enjoyed our time with Rob! We figured the mangrove hike would be an underrated excursion, and we weren't wrong. The hike took us through several different biomes, from... read more the mangrove swamp to sand flats to xeric upland shrublands. Wildlife we saw included threatened burrowing owls, and the native eagle. Flora in bloom ran from aloes to passionflowers to barrel cactus.

Afterwards, we did the reef snorkel, which was certainly the best-equipped snorkel I'd done. Rob had modern, higher-tech, easy-to-use equipment that looked brand new. He led us down a current over a reef not far offshore. It was enjoyable to drift with the current and watch the colorful tropical fish.

We did experience a little hitch with our reservation at first, but Rob and Marinka accommodated us eagerly.

Would absolutely recommend any of Rob's excursions to see the hidden side of Aruba!

  Highly recommend this hike!!! Rob was so knowledgeable and shared his passion for the outdoors with us. Exceeded our expectation!

  As a somewhat nervous newer snorkeler, I did my research before booking a snorkeling trip. I really appreciated their eco friendly approach to their business, and was impressed with both... read more of their backgrounds so felt very safe. Rob is obviously a true professional, and an excellent, kind & patient guide. We saw such cool marine life: turtle octopus and puffer fish to name a few... and out of the water an osprey was hanging around.
Fins and Feet know what they’re doing...highly recommend!

  Rob was great ! We saw some great things on the hike and learned a lot about the island, we also stopped at the donkey sanctuary on the way to... read more the beach to snorkel which was awesome. It was our first time snorkeling and we were super nervous. Rob made everything easy and we felt super comfortable with him. Would definitely book more tours with Rob if were ever back in Aruba. Highly recommended!

  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. ... read more 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!

  Oh wow!!!
What A hiking tour. I think this tour was one of our biggest highlight!

Rob and Miri picked us up from the hotel 5:20 Am.... read more
We started the first 1,5-2 hours, hiking through the nature with flashlights. We hiked along the ocean on the other side of the island and the first stop was natural pool. (At this point we saw the sunrise)
Then we hiked through the Arikok National Park back to the other side of the island. We also went up on the highest point Aruba.

It was amazing to explore Aruba from another point of view, and not only the “tourist beaches”

We went through different echo systems, Rob told us about the nature, plants, animals. We actually saw 5 big snakes (3 Boa constructures and 2 rattlesnakes) wild goats, hummingbirds, and so much more!!

And we finished the tour on the beach, close to the Spanish lagoon.

We hiked 17,8 km and it took us 5,5 hours. In total we were away for 7 hours.

Rob and Miri had packed backpacks for us
with plenty of water and snacks. After 2 hours we stopped for a breakfast-Picknick

FINS & FEET NATURE TOURS are doing an amazing job! Its a perfect way to see the nature without destroy it! #sustainability is the word.

Thank you so much for this tour!! We are so happy to meet again next time, because we would love to do it again!

  This tour and guide had everything. We spent a week in Aruba and this was our favorite or second favorite thing we did the whole time. It was the best... read more snorkeling of the entire trip. Rob made everything fun and easy and entertaining. He moved at our pace, had snacks and water, and made our experience absolutely fantastic. He also sent us high res photos afterward. If you are thinking about doing this tour, stop thinking and sign up.

  While getting up early for a 10 mile hike may not seem the most exciting, it was SO WORTH IT! We saw so much of Aruba that we did not... read more even know existed. Fins & Feet know what they are doing and take great care to make sure you have an amazing experience. A must try for something different during your stay in Aruba.

  We had the best time and the natural pool hike was the highlight of our trip. You cannot choose a better tour guide who goes the extra mile - personal,... read more super informed about everything in Aruba, very professional and fun!

We even decided to do another hike through the Spanish Lagoon a couple of days later. On the way back we stopped at a donkey sanctuary which we both loved too.

  Beautiful sunrise and unique desert terrain near the beach! Really enjoyed this special hike. We were the only ones there for the sunrise

  Hike followed by a snorkeling activity was BRILLIANT! PRIVATE tour made it exceptional. Thanks Rob!!

  The return hike was as special as every other aspect of the outing! overall outstanding excursion!!!

  My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of doing the hike to the highest point and then a couple days later doing the snorkel to Baby Beach and Mangel Halto.... read more Both excursions were wonderful! Rob expertly lead the hike, and we even had the chance to see the shoco (Aruban burrowing owl). We also got some breathtaking views at the top of the hike.

Rob was also wonderful on the snorkel excursions. He shared so much knowledge about snorkeling and marine life. After we snorkeled at Baby Beach we were able to enjoy a wonderful fruit and veggie platter lunch provided by Rob and relax on the beach for roughly 45 min (Rob even took note of our dietary restrictions before the trip). We then headed over to another snorkel stop where we did a draft snorkeling experience (we allowed the current to take us from the starting point to end point at Mango Halto). During that snorkel trip Rob was very helpful in getting my mask situated, and I always felt safe because of the buoy he brought with us. We saw a sea turtle, trumpet fish, and a lion fish. To top it off the snorkel ended with a beautiful sunset where we watched the sun set while in the water. I would definitely recommend both of these trips. Thank you Rob for making both of these trips so wonderful!

  Rob was an excellent guide. We had snorkeled previously in Aruba in a large group and my husband had a difficult time with his mask. This is the way to... read more snorkel in Aruba! Rob was patient and well-educated. What a dream to swim with the sea turtles! We are beginner snorkelers and had an easy time navigating the waters. Easy entry and exit. I'm looking forward to future nature tours with Rob Many thanks Rob!

  On our visit to Aruba, my husband and I went on two excursions with Rob.

The first was a thrilling sunrise hike to the Natural Pool. ... read more Rob met us at our hotel at 5:20 AM and we drove to the trailhead. We hiked for 1.5-2 miles to a promontory. Within a few minutes, we witnessed the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen. After lingering there for a bit, we climbed over some tricky rocks and snorkeled in the Natural Pool. The water in the pool was completely calm although the area was surrounded by crashing surf. We saw a great variety of fish. The hiking terrain was a little rough but Rob was incredibly patient and we took our time.

The second trip was a snorkeling excursion to Mangel Halto. This offered a view of lots of fish and a beautiful reef. I am not a great swimmer but again Rob was patient and I felt completely at ease.

We did not encounter a single tourist on either trip and had a wonderful and completely private experience.

Rob’s tours were outstanding and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

  Loved this morning sunrise hike to the natural pool. Rob was an awesome guide and had flashlights and was prepared for the dark morning. We got really lucky... read more with a late sunrise that we thought we were going to miss because of clouds but then it was pretty cool how the clouds parted and the sun shown through perfectly. Swimming in the natural pool was scary at first but ended up being THE BEST PART! Swimming with the fish was very cool and highly recommended even if you are a little scared you will NOT REGRET IT! We had the whole place to ourselves.

The only thing I would mention that I really thought I was going to get a workout type hike in and this was a very easy walk not far at all so I think that was a disappointment but I would definitely do it again just to see the sunrise and swim in the natural pool.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

  This was our first time to Aruba and although the beach is great, we wanted to also see some of the things the island had to offer. Rob picked us... read more up from our hotel at 5:30am for our sunrise hike through the national park. We navigated our way through the trails with flashlights as the sun slowly lit up the sky. Once we made it through the park, we got ready for the sunrise. It was one of the most amazing things we have witnessed. As the waves crashed, we watched the Sun take off into the sky. We then snorkeled in the Natural Pool and saw an Octopus. On our stroll back through the park we saw surfers take on massive waves as we stood along the mountainside. Couldn’t be happier and is truly made our trip. Next time to Aruba we will be sure to contact Rob for some other snorkel adventures.

  Mira and Rob were great guides on an extraordinary snorkel tour. Their knowledge and excitement about Marine Biology is contagious, as we really enjoyed experiencing Aruba’s beautiful coral reef. I... read more was disappointed when it was over because I could have stayed out in the water all day. We appreciated all of their accommodations, as well as their focus on safety and hospitality. If you are in Aruba, I strongly recommend this tour as it was the highlight my vacation!

  We had the best time on this hike! Rob was the friendliest guide and very knowledgeable. He showed us his island and taught us a lot about Aruba. He knew... read more all the plants and animals by name and we even ate some fresh fruit grown on plants along the way! He brought us watermelon to snack on after the hike (which was much needed) and showed us his favorite local pastechi stand. Rob was even sweet enough to share some pictures he took on our hike for sweet memories! We HIGHLY recommend using fins and feet for any adventurous people out there!

  The hike and snorkel trip was more than we could have hoped for. The wildlife that we saw on the hike was fabulous. The owls were a real treat. The... read more snorkel trip exceeded our expectations. The reef was beautiful and rob was successful at showing us a logger head turtle which was my wife’s greatest desire. Rob’s professionalism and patience were outstanding. For anyone looking for a private excursion that is safe and really enjoyable during these crazy times I give Eco- friendly hike and snorkel my highest recommendation. We will be back next year and we will definitely be doing this adventure again. Bravo Rob. Great job.

  Best part of our trip! It was truly an incredible experience to see the sunrise from the other part of the island, then swim in the natural pool! The private... read more tour is amazing, and rob was an excellent guide! He showed us everything there was to see, worked with our pace, and even took pictures for us with his own camera that he later emailed to us. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Aruba!

  Rob was fantastic and full of knowledge of the island and super experienced at snorkeling. It was a blast. We saw lots of different wildlife on the hike and plenty... read more of fish on the coral reef. He was nice enough to pack us our own backpack for the hike with snacks and cold water! Then at the end he had sandwiches made up for us. Highly recommend this tour

  This hike was perfect. We were fearlessly led up a nature trail that was full of interesting plants while our guide imparted us with numerous facts. Very knowledgeable guide and... read more a great workout. Would 100% recommend for all adventure loving couples!

  Rob picked us up right on time and was very knowledgeable and friendly. SUV was clean and comfortable. He had hiking backpacks all ready for us with a towel, snorkeling... read more gear, water, and snacks. He pointed out different animals and plants along the hike and was able to answer all my Aruban biology-related questions. The sunrise was magical despite it being a bit cloudy. And having the park/ocean to ourselves was priceless. The water was too rough to swim in the natural pool, but that didn't take away from the experience. Just watching the large waves crash into the rocks was breathtaking. We saw eagles, turtle nesting sites, and wild goats climbing the rocky terrain. Overall a truly great excursion!

  Rob was a great guide! We loved having our tour with him. The hike was awesome and we saw some great wildlife! Highly recommend!

  We did the sunrise hike, which was simply breathtaking. Miranka is super knowledgable as a marine biologist and really made it a great tour. Highly recommend it for... read more any early risers to see a completely different part of the island.

  A new adventure even for a local resident. For my birthday I wanted to start my day hiking so we decided to try this tour. Everything was great from start... read more to finish. Very friendly and outgoing tour guides who picked us up at our location. They explained all the routes and activities we will be doing that day which got us very excited. The path's scenery was beautiful and the tour guides were very knowledgable and explained many things that even us, local residents, didn't know. The view on top of Jamanota was incredible!!! On our way we got to see owls and peculiar birds and their habitat. After the hike they offered resfreshing snacks as we headed to another beautiful location 'Mangel Halto' where they guided us thoroughly for the snorkeling tour. That site was amazingly beautiful! Many unique fishes from all different colors and sizes. The tour guides made us feel safe and comfortable so we could enjoy that beautiful trip.

I fell inlove with Aruba all over again thanks to Fins and Feet Nature Tours. I highly recommend this tour ♡

  This tour was AMAZING! Rob and Monica made the entire trip so enjoyable! They provided us with our own backpacks filled with a towel, water bottle, apple, granola bars... read more and a flash light. Rob and Monica were so nice and friendly and made sure to point out everything we were seeing. They took some cool underwater pictures of us with their GoPro! Snorkeling at the natural pool was so fun and Rob pointed out some really cool fish....including a fire worm! They made some great dinner recommendations to Zeerover that we took them up on!

  Snorkeling in the Natural Pool was incredible. It was worth the early morning wake-up call to be the only ones at the pool. On the way out we saw... read more multiple groups headed that way to hang out. The sunrise over the ocean was well worth the walk in the dark.

We were back to our resort by 10AM which left plenty of time for breakfast and a nice nap on the beach the rest of the day.

Rob and Monica were amazing and clean hosts. They packed a nice bag with granola bars and fruit for the walk along with towels and snorkeling equipment. We will be doing this again our next trip to Aruba!

  Had a great time snorkeling with Rob!!
Saw fantastic reefs , tons of different types of fish and eels!
Rob provided us with all the equipment needed , gave... read more us very detailed instructions and we felt very safe in the water . Took tons of photos and vidoes . Would have definitely booked another session if we didn't have to leave the following day!!

  Rob was an excellent instructor and very patient with our questions and mistakes in the beginning. We had an amazing time and learned a lot about marine life. Rob was... read more very kind and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the beautiful waters in Aruba!!

  We had an awesome time with Rob & Miranka. The tour was very informative and both guides were a pleasure to spend time with. Would definitely recommend it.

  This tour was AMAZING! From pick up to drop off the guides Rob and Monica we’re fantastic. We came with a bag of our own stuff, but They provided us... read more with our own backpacks filled with a towel, water bottle, apple, granola bars, And flash light. They Didn’t miss a thing. It rained on us for our hike, but this just added to the adventure. Rob and Monica were so nice and friendly and made sure to point out everything we were seeing. They took videos and pictures of us with their own camera and ours and will send the ones they took of us via email (no extra charge)! Rob is an expert at snorkeling and diving doing over 3,000 dives so we felt very safe and gave us pointers on snorkeling. We never saw another person on the entire tour. Doing the sunrise hike is a huge pro because you’re not there with 50-100 other people which adds to your overall experience. Snorkeling at the natural pool was so fun and We saw a lot more fish than we expected to see, even an eel! On the way back we stopped and took some pictures in the day light and even stopped off at Moro Beach and my husband and Monica jumped off the cliff!! Rob told us exactly how to do it and caught it all on video! My husband loved it! On the drive home they surprised us with a stop at Shoco Shack to eat panchitos (What the locals eat for breakfast) which are kind of like a toaster strudel without the frosting filled with cheese, ham and cheese, pizza, etc. They were delicious and it was such a special touch they went above and beyond to give us an experience we will never forget!

  Because it was my birthday the 3rd of September, I wanted to do something special. Rob took me and my partner on a amazing trip. We climbed all to way... read more to the top of Jamanota, and during the hike Rob told us a lot about the nature around it: different animals, trees and some interesting history. Even though we live here on the island already for 2 years, Rob showed us many new things.
It was a relaxing hike (ofcourse some nice sweating and workout too). We had enough time to take pictures, have a talk about the history and also to explore around. Also Rob took some nice pictures with his camera, and sent us the photos afterwards. We had a lot of fun during the trip. After the hike we made a little stop at the Donkey Sanctuary, to feed the donkeys with the left overs from the nice cold water melon we ate after the hike.

Later on we went to Mangel Halto (one of our favorite beaches on the Island, view!!) to do a nice snorkel trip. Also at this place me and my partner discovered new things underwater, thanks to Rob.
After the snorkel trip, we ate some really nice and healthy homemade sandwiches, and during the hike before we got enough water and some healthy snacks.
So no thirst or hunger!

Rob, thanks for starting up my birthday even better! My partner and I had a lot fun!! See you around

  Rob has excellent reviews for a reason. This tour was outstanding.

I had never really been snorkeling before and was a bit nervous. Rob was so patiently instructive and... read more so confident and good at his job — I was soon feeling more comfortable in the water and with the snorkel. He made me feel like I could do it. And I did!!

We also really appreciated the eco-friendly aspect of the tour. Not only did Rob have reef-safe sunscreen for us to use, but he also packed all the snacks and water in reusable containers. We also liked the relaxed pace of the snorkel and going in from the shore, instead of from a boat.

Rob is a relaxed tour guide, easy to talk to, and ready to answer questions.

Booking was easy, and Miranka sent clear, detailed instructions of what we should expect. Everything was as advertised.

One more note... of course Rob ultimately has no control over this, but I was really hoping to see a sea turtle, and we saw not one but two!!! Knowing how excited I was to see a turtle, Rob was quick to point them out to us. It was amazing.

Thank you, Rob and Miranka!

  This is a must do. So many people look for the the perfect sunset, but sunrise is more magical and sets the ton for the day. Rob picked us up... read more at our hotel at 4:45 am and we were off to the park. Rob was very personable and answered all the (MANY) questions I had! We started the hike towards the natural pool and Rob made sure to lead the way - since it was still dark - to make sure any bumpy spots were seen and obvious. Rob made sure to explain different facts about the island and is very knowledgeable! Once at the end, we watched the most beautiful sunrise before heading to the natural pool; which was amazing! Booking with Rob allows you to be the first in the park and (weather permitting) the only ones in the natural pool! As we swam around we encountered so many different kinds of fish & the abundance was so beautiful! As we were wrapping up, the masses piled in; thankful we beat the crowds! Waking up early is worth it when you have the place to yourself! On the way out Rob made sure to explain different things about the park, it’s history and other tidbits about the nature and beaches around (you pass two beaches in and can see them on way out!). I would suggest hiking shoes or a sturdy pear of tennis shoes as the terrain changes from rocks to beach and back again. The hills are no joke and it’s about 4 miles total the way back is uphill a good bit. Good little workout on way back to truck. When we got back to the truck, we had fresh, delicious watermelon which just hit the spot after the work we put in! 10 out of 10! Will definitely do again! Also, Rob’s girlfriend and partner Miranka was so helpful and responded to all of my messages quickly and with all the answers we were looking for! Thank you all so much for everything! Don’t hesitate, book, NOW!

  We initially booked a sunrise hike to the natural pool with Rob through our resort, which was the most inspiring hiking experience we have ever had. Rob is very knowledgeable... read more about Aruba, especially with the natural beauty that the island has to offer. The tour started by us meeting at 4:45am in a comfortable and spacious ride, and then he drove us to the start of the trail in the Arikok National park. He had all the equipment you need, including flashlights, and a backpack with plenty water, fruits and snacks. We walked by some rapidly changing and amazing scenery, and made it just in time to see the sunrise above the natural pool. On the way back, we took a slightly different route which revealed some even more impressive nature. After the hike, we indulged in some cool and refreshing watermelon as a reward. Throughout, Rob kept the journey exciting with his knowledge of nature and entertained us with answers to all our curious questions. He is also very responsive to your requests and needs, which is what we loved about his private and customized experience. What he provides is definitely one of a kind, speaking from us experiencing all other types of tours in Aruba.

The next day, for the Top of Aruba & Snorkeling tour, he delivered consistently and even exceeded our expectation, especially with his attentiveness. For beginner swimmers, Rob made us feel very comfortable in the ocean. He pointed out many beautiful marine lives with his underwater communication techniques that we went over prior to snorkeling. Overall, we can guarantee that you will be getting a memorable and authentic Aruban experience if you book with him!!!

Rob - we hope to see you again soon!

  Incredible tour! I couldn't have been happier. I'm not a very experienced snorkeler and my wife had never even put on flippers but Rob took great care of us and... read more made sure we felt comfortable. The spot he took us to was beautiful too, we were the only people out at the reef. Saw some incredible sea life and had a blast. The hike was awesome too, through some mangroves and part of the arid side of Aruba. We saw lots of birds. Rob answered all of my questions about the island and took the time to explain everything. This was a great tour and I recommend it to anyone from the first-timer to the experienced snorkeler. So much better than getting on one of those giant boats with 50 other people.

  Rob and Myra were great guides. 7 of us went up the mountain with Rob and it was challenging. Rob and Myra explained the history of the mountain... read more and the island as well. Great tour!

  This excursion was by far the best excursion that I have been on. Rob (the tour operator) is the sweetest, most knowledgeable tour operator. He is thoughtful, respectful of nature,... read more Knowledgeable about the ocean, fish and birds. He was patient and answered my many questions. He took great care while we were in the open water not only for our safety, but also to point out underwater marine life.

I would encourage you to book this tour if you’re interested in learning more about Aruba and it’s ecosystem, this tour is for you!

  We had an awesome time on our private hiking tour to the highest point of Aruba this morning.

This is the perfect way to explore the unique flora and... read more fauna of Aruba in an eco-friendly, safe and relaxing way.

We were picked up from home by car and drove to Arikok Natural Park where our guide Robert had backpacks with water and snacks ready for us. The hike was amazing, we enjoyed the early morning sun and stunning views from Jamanota Hill and even saw a full rainbow. Spotted lots of beautiful flora and fauna on our way and Robert told us all about it which was super insightful. We saw many birds, including an owl, as well as both a rattle snake and boa constrictor! We tasted the fruits from the Bushi Cactus and walked past the old gold mines.

I highly recommend doing one of their tours when on the island, they offer early morning and sunset hikes as well as tours that combine hiking and snorkeling.

Not to missed!

  This was such an amazing day. We have been to Aruba 12 times, and had never gone to Baby Beach. Our tour guide, Rob, was absolutely incredible and had every... read more detail planned out perfectly. He picked us up on-time at the hotel, and is an excellent driver. He pointed out things along our drive down, that we had never seen, or for that matter, knew existed. Rob provided both snacks, as well as lunch. I have a gluten sensitivity, and he even accommodated that for the meals! Icing on the cake? Mimosas under the best palapa on the beach! If you want a truly personalized tour with someone who knows so much about both land and sea, book with Fins and Feet. The scenery both above the water as well as in the water was absolutely breathtaking. You don’t normally see that many shades of blue in the same place! Thank you Rob for an amazing day that we will never forget! Everything about our day was top-notch, and will book again and again.

  My wife enjoyed spending the day hiking and snorkeling on a private tour. We learned so much about the island of Aruba while hanging with Rob. He gave a really... read more nice and informative tour and we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. It really helped having the private tour during the snorkeling part as we were able to feel relaxed and enjoy the turtles and fish swimming by. It was a unique, memorable and fun experience that we would definitely recommend.
