  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.

  Visited Aruba February 25th 2020. My husband and I were looking for something active to do, as we were only visiting for the day, travelling on the Norwegian Epic. Rob... read more met us outside the hustle and bustle of the port area. Rob expertly drove us to Arikok Nataional Park,Jamanota which is the highest elevation in Aruba. We had the park to ourselves and managed to see a variety of birds, owls and eagles. It was a challenging hike and by the time we finished, it was a short drive to Mangel Halto for a snorkel, where there was an active reef and many fish. Rob spoke very good English and was a perfect host and guide. If you like to get off the beaten path, I highly recommend this adventure!

  This was a special treat for us on our recent Aruba trip. You are picked up at 5AM, and undertake a starlight hike through the National Park, to watch the... read more sunrise over the ocean. Then a short walk over to the Conchi Natural Pool, one of the highlights of Aruba, which you have all to yourself. You can swim and snorkle there to your heart's content, and then walk back out through the park in daylight, which seems like a totally different hike. Rod was very knowledgable about the park and the various birds we saw, and very conscious of our safety. He supplies everything needed for the trek...we brought sturdy shoes, swimsuits, and hats. Truly a great and unusual experience; we loved it.

Full moon hike with headlamps through the Arikok park, hearing the ocean, knowing you're getting closer but unable to see it until... read more VOILA, the sunrise appears over the huge ocean and there is the natural pool right in front of you! An incredible experience with such a fun and knowledgeable guide to lead the way. This is clearly your calling, Rob! Now if you could just move to Colorado so we could see you and Mira more often!! Thanks for the memories and we look forward to many more! (sorry about the farting goats!!)

  Our guide Rob, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and equally accommodating. I have a gluten sensitivity and he made me a special gluten-free sandwich, that was yummy. I can’t... read more recommend FINS AND FEET enough, it was very educational and fun.

  We had a great morning hike to the top of Aruba with a narrated tour of the plants and animals with a great view at the top. Just as it... read more was starting to get a little warm we cooled off with a drift snorkel tour of reef. Rob was patient, attentive and made sure we sure we made the most of our time. I would highly recommend this private tour.

  I can’t say enough about Rob and Mira. They were great to spend the morning with. From the great communication before we even started to the ease of the tour,... read more I would highly recommend this trip. Both are very knowledgeable in their own field and they are just a fun couple to be around. If you are looking for a good hike and more relaxed, private excursion, these are the people you should call while you’re in Aruba. Thanks for a great day and advice of where to go out that evening!

  Rob was an awesome guide for my fiancé and I as we hiked to the highest point on the island. We saw some really good wildlife and Rob told us... read more everything we could have wanted to know and more along the way. We then went to snorkel at an active reef which was easily the best snorkel experience we had on the island. No crowds and lots of great fish to see. We also finished up on a beautiful beach surrounded by mangroves. Rob takes pictures throughout to share following the hike/snorkel as well. The whole excursion was one of the highlights of our trip and we highly recommend!

Off the beaten path from... read more all the big catamaran trips. We saw so much varied and interesting fish. Our guides made every effort to point out the wildlife and led us through a very safe snorkel experience. Thanks for the drinks and yummy sandwiches at the end! Please send us some of the pics from your GoPro!

  This is a great experience. Having Natural Pool to yourselves at sunrise is wonderful. The hike was fun and instructive. Rob and Pierre are excellent guides. Don't miss this adventure.

  Can’t recommend Fins & Feet highly enough! We had a great hike and snorkeling excursion with Rob - saw many gorgeous birds in the early morning and then amazing tropical... read more fish. Rob was an engaging companion and guide. We particularly appreciated his patient, encouraging approach with my wife, who hadn’t snorkeled in years and was a bit apprehensive - she ended up having a wonderful time. Finally, a nice bonus was that Rob took lots of photos with a high-quality camera, so we didn’t have to worry about fiddling with our phone cameras. This tour was a highlight of our time in Aruba.

  Great private Snorkeling experience. Rob picked us up for our private and a hassle-free snorkel tour. Very much recommend it.

Rob gave us a wonderful experience on land through the... read more Mangroves and in the Ocean. He pointed out animals, creatures on land and in the ocean. Very personable young man. He found my sunglasses which I appreciated. The sandwiches were very good after the snorkeling experience.
We were very proud of what we did free snorkeling and drifting with the ocean. We saw many different fish (trumpetfish to an eel) .
The private tour was the best way to go...!!! I will only do private tours from now on.!

  Rob picked us up for our private tour (not with the hordes on the boats), great snack, friendly, efficient...avoid the crowds and enjoy a hassle-free snorkel.

  Private tour is way better experience than party boats as it is one on one experience. Rob was a diver before and started his private tour about 5 months ago.... read more He was friendly from the time we met and made sure to calm all our nerves. He gave us the rundown of things and what to expect. He also made sure we were comfortable with the gear in shallow waters before heading out to the deeper end. All you need to know is how to mouth breathe and float facing down. Teddy the red life buoy was my life saver as I could hold on to him when I got tired/ scared. The variety of marine life and coral reef is simply amazing and so abundant. We spotted plenty of eels and even an octopus! He has a keen eye and watched us like a hawk through the whole trip. We spend about 45mins to an hour in water which is the longest I have spend just absorbing the underwater beauty. The fresh home made snacks with sunset was the icing on the cake. He gave us so many options of places to eat where locals love and those were the best recommendations! Book now and you won’t be disappointed. His girlfriend is a marine biologist so they both know exactly what they are doing. He even had a GoPro and took pictures which will be emailed later! Thanks Rob for the best snorkeling experience on the island!

  Great private tour with Rob from Fins and Feet, I highly recommend this activity, which includes a hike of the Spanish Lagoon area and snorkeling in a secluded area leading... read more out to a coral reef. One of the best things for me personally was Rob’s 7-year experience as a Dive Master. I hadn’t snorkeled in a long time, and he was able to provide reassurance, practical tips, and equipment that allowed me to relax and fully experience the beautiful aquatic life off the coast of Aruba. Not only did he come equipped with the right snorkeling gear and safety equipment, he had water, fruit, granola bars, and sandwiches to keep us adequately hydrated and energized. Loved having photos of us hiking and snorkeling, too. He’s also just a heck of a nice young man, and my husband and I wish him and his girlfriend all the best as they continue to build their fledgling company. Thanks Rob!!

  I highly recommend this hiking, adventure. But not for those with small children. You get to see Aruba's rugged but beautiful terrain up close. The view from the top of... read more the island is amazing. You can see St. Nicolas on one end, the California lighthouse on the other and everything in between. Rob is a knowledgeable and capable guide. He gives a very personal service from start to finish. I give him a full five stars!

  This was a wonderful experience for me and my kids. My kids are 11 and 14 years old and Rob was very patient with all of us since we were... read more all beginners. It was a nice relaxing morning snorkeling and I loved that Rob took the time to point out different aquatic life to us and to answer all of our questions. I would recommend this company to anyone that visits Aruba! Very affordable and very unique!

  We had an amazing time with Rob and his team! He is a fantastic tour guide with a lot of knowledge about the island. We had a group of 6... read more people so it was a private tour and he customized it to our preferences. The snorkeling spot he took us to was the best I have ever seen! He provided water for the hike, a snack at the top of the mountain, and delicious sandwiches after we snorkeled. Plus, they sent us a ton of photos from our trip after we arrived home. Even though they are a new company, we had a great experience. Give them a try!

  Fins & feet provided an excellent experience for our small group who wanted to try something new after multiple years of vacationing in Aruba. We hiked in a nearly empty... read more national park early in the morning (we only saw 1 other group of people the entire hike) and wrapped up with some excellent snorkeling away from the tourist areas. In additional to thousands of colorful fish, we came across both an eel and multiple puffer fish! Best snorkeling experience I’ve had aside from the Great Barrier Reef! Couldn’t recommend these guys more...

  Our best tour in years. The hike was great with good elevation change. Intermediate level which was just what a couple 50+ fit folks wanted. Good bird watching and other... read more wildlife. Rob knew the terrain like a pro. The snorkeling was excellent. Rob is a pro and personally led us to a great reef that had rich marine life. It was definitely worth the extra price to go on a private tour with Fins and Feet. Extra Plus: Rob had a professional camera with him on the hike taking many photos of the experience as well as of us. He also had a water camera with him and got many closeups off the marine life. He will be emailing all the photos to us. Loved everything!

  Miranka & Rob are the real deal and deserve massive props for following their dreams to start this business! We prefer to support small business operators as often as we... read more can, and it definitely paid off because these two do their utmost to provide an experience to make your trip to remember for a lifetime. It was easily the highlight of this trip to Aruba and we love everything about Aruba! Put this at the top of your list of bookings over big group tours. You're not going to see half as much on one of those, this is eco-friendly, and it's the only way to have the Natural Pool to yourselves! It truly will just be your group and your guide, so in our case it was just the two of us and Rob there in stunning beauty and quiet. Not only the destination was wonderful with perfect timing for sunrise, but we really enjoyed the great hike out and back, talking among us, having time for great pictures, and seeing the back country up close. And to finish it off, Miranka indeed does make **fantastic** sandwiches. I fail to have sufficient words to recommend this highly enough. One other note: if you think there's risk in NOT putting your spend toward a corporate operator, check out the Fins & Feet website to check for yourselves and believe me when I say you'll be put at ease the moment you meet Rob when he arrives to pick you up. Go have a fantastic time!

  Very interesting hike to see the sunrise . Highly recommend . Made for you by couples to see bliss of sunrise

  We were SO GLAD we found FINS AND FEET in Aruba. In town (briefly) for some work (alas), with a day to burn, so ... we booked with FINS... read more AND FEET. Myra picked us up at our hotel (early, while still dark) and drove us across the island so that we began our hike just as the sun was starting to rise. (I began the hike with my regular glasses, and switched to sunglasses much later....) The nature trail was varied, interesting, and pleasant - the variety of cactus and colorful birds (visible only in the morning) was impressive - and THE VIEW FROM THE TOP - in all directions - was really something....

As a photographer, I was (marginally) frustrated I was travelling on this trip without my (real) camera and my long lens(es) - some of the birds we saw were extraordinary, and, with long/fast glass, I could have captured some memorable images. But, hey, in life you can't have everything!

Additional bonus points to FINS AND FEET (and Myra) for, among other things, being a great guide, a warm companion, and a genuinely knowledgeable, comfortable, and interesting conversationalist. ... Also, thanks for sweating all of the small stuff ... reusable water bottles, snacks, towels, and FRESH FRUIT ... and then there's the extra special bonus ... that we collected our apple cores and watermelon rinds and saved them to share at the (splendid) Donkey Sanctuary on the way back to the hotel. A fun way to cap off a terrific morning!

  What can I say? Simply amazing. With all the impersonal and cookie-cutter activities you can choose when vacationing in Aruba (or anywhere, really) this tour shines as a... read more uniquely personal and thoughtful experience.

While my girlfriend and I were initially a bit anxious about booking a private tour with a stranger having never been to Aruba, our small concerns were alleviated even before arriving, with pleasant email exchanges with the hosts. Our guide Rob and partner Myra set a high bar in terms of friendliness, competence and enthusiasm, the awesome combination of which I’ve never really experienced on an ‘excursion’ type activity.

Rob picked us up promptly at the agreed-upon 7:30 am and was upon first impression warm and comfortable. We headed in his vehicle to the national park for our hike, enjoying easy conversation with Rob and learning what to expect. We embarked upon arrival and hiked for about 2.5 miles through easy to intermediate terrain (according to me, an out of shape 240 lb American). Great conversation, learned a lot about Aruba flora and fauna, island history and we were lucky enough to see a rattlesnake (!), bats in the batcaves, and a bunch of different birds Rob was able to point out and get pictures of. Had a snack of apples and granola bars they provided at the highest point in Aruba, where you can see both north and south coasts, and took a different way back. Hike was great.

Afterward, we enjoyed some watermelon he provided at the truck, saving the rinds for a quick stop at a nearby donkey sanctuary where we fed them to the excited inhabitants. Afterward, headed to a great spot to begin snorkeling. Here is where I was really impressed. My girlfriend agreed to snorkel but got very anxious when it came time to get in the water. She was a first timer. Rob assuaged all her concerns and made her feel very comfortable and safe. We hopped in with the provided equipment and enjoyed fantastic free snorkeling with the current for at least an hour along the coast. You could tell how comfortable he was in the water, having worked so many years as a scuba and snorkel guide. Afterward he ran back to the truck and brought it to us while we relaxed and provided some more great snacks: avocado and tomato sandwiches! Delicious!

All during our adventures, Rob took pictures of us and our surroundings, which he and Myra emailed to us. Ultimately, I can safely say we had as enjoyable a time as we possibly could have, and it wouldn’t have been nearly as fantastic without Rob and Myra’s personal touch. To have a private tour, with so much thoughtfulness for the customers and the environment, all with a similar price to much more impersonal activities, makes my girlfriend and I feel very lucky. If you have an opportunity to book what is an increasingly busy tour with Fins and Feet, do so! You will feel the same way, I promise.

  It was a very well planned tour
Rob picked us up from hotel on time
We were pleasantly greeted by him & his girlfriend Miranka .they provided us with... read more headlights. Miranka & Rob we’re knowledgeable about the terrain & the wildlife
They showed us many birds , native trees , explaining how things have evolved over the years .
The hiking was not very difficult but there were many loose & sharp rocks .so wear a good pair of hiking shoes
We were provided with water & fruits on our journey. Sunrise was amazing & so was the swim in the natural pool
They provided us with snorkeling equipment & was so much fun doing it
They were very patient & back in the car Miranka got us homemade salad ,sandwiches & fruits & coffee according to our preferences as some of us were vegetarian & vegan.
I would highly recommend this tour
It is very peaceful in the morning & you can enjoy the hike & swim by your self

  Wanted to do something different than the usual excursions offered on the island. Rob was a great guide, picked us up, even allowed us to grab a quick coffee before... read more our hike. Overall a nice experience, nice view of the island up top.

  As other folks have said, going on an adventure with Rob (and Miranka behind the scenes) was great. Rob does a great job of showing you things you might... read more miss on your own. We spent the better part of the entire day with Rob, doing the nature hike, and snorkel. It was our favorite port/excursion for our cruise. A couple things stand our for us. First, they are willing to work with you on your trip, customize if you will. Let them know what you like to do, and your time frame and they'll work with you. All within a VERY reasonable price range. Another thing I really liked was Rob, was more than happy to take ample pictures along the way. This was especially helpful with the snorkel tour as I didn't have to worry about my GoPro Camera while in the water, just took in the natural beauty of if all. Rob shared his pictures with us a few days later, it was a nice bonus.
Don't hesitate to contact Rob and Miranka, again, they'll work with you on your trip and will make sure you have a great time in Aruba.

  Being our first trip to Aruba, we wanted to see more of the island besides the beaches. This was a beautiful hike and Rob was an excellent and informative... read more tour guide from beginning to end. The hike itself was easy, with a few moderate spots when you climb, and the view from the top was awesome! I highly recommend the hike and will certainly use Fins and Feet in the future!

  There are a couple reasons why this is the natural pool tour you want:

1 - it is at sunrise so you get to see that coming up over... read more the water and trust me it is gorgeous
2 - small group so you do not have to worry about lines of people (I have seen pics of what it looks like mid day, awful)
3 - Rob (the guide) is great. He is very friendly and educates along the way about plants, wildlife, the history of the place, etc. He said he has never been beat to the pool in the morning, you will be first. Be sure to ask about the brain coral and the crashed SUV.

The pool is amazing, I swam in it by myself (others did not want to swim) for almost 30 minutes. It is truly magical. That said, contact them in advance to schedule because the weather is the issue. The hike happens regardless, but swimming is ocean dependent. If the sea is angry and is crashing into the pool, it is far too dangerous to swim so schedule days as best you can.

The hike isn't hard but not easy either. It is spread over small loose rocks, dried river bed, sand, and a packed dirt path. Given that it starts before sun up, I wouldn't recommend it for small children or those that need walking support (cane, etc).

This was probably my favorite thing I did on the island.

  After a few days of just sitting on the beach in Aruba and trying one disappointing snorkel spot, we decided to book a trip with Fins and Feet. It was... read more my favorite part of the week!

We started our day early, at 6:30 am, and Rob was prompt picking us up at our hotel. We hiked up to the highest point in Aruba as our first feat of the day. All along the way, Rob stopped to show us birds and plants of interest, as well as explain the landscapes we were seeing. His joy in nature was completely infectious. He obviously respects his world and treats it with care. He is excited to share his knowledge too.

After the hike he had the perfect snack of fruit ready for us. Then, after a quick stop at the donkey reserve (where Peacocks were flying by laughing) we headed toward our snorkeling spot.

THIS spot was a good one! YAY for us! YAY Rob! After thinking that all the snorkeling in Aruba would be like snorkeling through an underwater sandstorm, he took us to a clear spot. We left the beach and floated among coral and fish to our destination. There was one particular stretch where we were close enough to the coral to really see everything clearly and it was great.

Rob was constantly pointing out underwater creatures to us, often diving down to make it clear what he was pointing to. He can hold his breath a LONG time!

My husband put his wallet (in a Ziploc) in the wrong non-velcroed pocket of his bathing suit. He didn't notice that it had escaped his pocket during our swim. About a 1/2 hour into our snorkel Rob noticed a bag floating in the water. It was the wallet. Oh my! Rob saved us SO much time and aggravation by having an eagle eye. Rob put it safely in the buoy he pulled with him during the swim.

After the snorkel Rob ran back to get his car at the drop off point. When he returned (and he must run quickly, because it was fast) he gave us sandwiches which were perfect.

He drove us back through town, pointing out sites along the way.

Rob is the best. You can tell that his heart is with his island and he cares deeply about preserving the nature he so loves. He is kind, patient and knowledgeable, and he didn't hesitate to answer any questions we had.

I highly recommend this trip. It was my favorite day in Aruba!

  Rob picked us up from our house and was super friendly, funny, and warm right away. The hike was a lot of fun and we were able to see both... read more coasts of the island from the top! We got to see a bunch of birds, lizards, and even a wild bunny! Rob was knowledgeable about the various wild life and vegetation. That being said, when he didn't know something, he said he didn't (we appreciated the candor). Rob was always very courteous. Making sure we had enough cold water and brought local fresh cut fruit (grapes, clementines, and watermelon) for us to snack on during the hike. We even got to eat one of the fruit from a cactus (see photo! It was delicious!). We stoped by the donkey sanctuary to change into our bathing suits and meet the animals. (Peacock photo attached).

Then we went to a very secluded beach for snorkeling. Rob first made sure we felt comfortable and we tested it In shallow waters. It was so beautiful! I would recommend a rash guard to stay warm and also for sun perfection. We were able to see so many different types of fish, eels, and coral. And rob brought a GoPro to take under water photos - which was a very nice touch. We ended our day on another pretty secluded beach with sandwiches and more ice cold water.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who is looking for a different way to experience Aruba both on land and in the water! And Rob was an excellent tour guide for both!

  We have been to Aruba before and done the party snorkeling, but this time we wanted just a short snorkeling tour so we picked Fins and Feet and I am... read more so glad we did!
Rob picked us up and immediately we felt like we were with a friend. He had cold water in the car and on the way to the site he chatted about what we would be doing and the island.
When we got to the site he explained what we should go, made sure our gear fit properly and gave us sunscreen to use. He took photos and then brought our shoes back to the car.
We snorkeled first over an hour and saw beautiful coral reefs, tons of colorful fish, eels and in some places the water was so clear it was like you were in a different world.
The entire time Rob pointed to things, took pics and also made sure everyone was together and safe.
At the end we had delicious sandwiches and drinks and more great conversation!
On the return ride Rob gave great restaurant recommendations and chatted away. My daughter and her boyfriend are from Australia and Rob was so kind, he asked if they were being affected by the devastating fires and expressed his sorrow about the loss of human and animal life.
When booking I was hesitant that the excursion seemed short but i shouldn’t have been. The area Rob takes you to is off the beaten path and you see so much and it was the perfect amount of time.
Rob gives you his undivided attention and it was just perfect! There are no annoying drunk people, no bumping into people while snorkeling, it’s just a few people in a wide open area exploring the sea.
Do not hesitate to take this excursion, you will be so glad you did.
We are already looking forward to our next trip to Aruba and another adventure with Rob and his delicious sandwiches!!

  This excursion provided a 2and 1/2 mile trek through the lush hilly region of the island.we encountered many birds a rattle snake and many iguanas we observed... read more majestic views from the highest point on the island which provides a view of the carribean on each end of the island the second half of our tour took us to the west side of the island for our snorkeling tour which provided beautiful and colorful corals sea fans and sea sponges with schools of colorful fish and we saw a free swimming moray eel which was a rare find to see it out of its hiding place and swimming freely for 20 yards or more. It was a truly enjoyable and educational experience. Our guide Robert provided a lot of interesting and useful information about the island the vegetation the wildlife and the undersea world. Robert provided water soft drinks fresh fruit and sandwiches which capped off our tour. What a wonderful experience for a small group we were 2 couples and it was our own private tour

  Rob picked us up promptly and we drove to an ocean entry point. He had found out earlier what size equipment we needed and so when we got to the... read more location we got right into the good quality equipment. We went in at one location and then drifted with the current to another location. We were quite a ways off shore and the coral was great. Rob guided us the whole way along the reef. It was just our family. There were no other snorklers around us. It was a really good experience. After we got out he provided some vegetarian sandwiches, soda, and fruit. We were in the water around an hour.

  Jackie and I weren’t sure what to expect but our adventure with Rob drift snorkeling was new to us but Rob got us equipped and comfortable based on his experience.... read more We have both snorkeled many times but the fish and scenery we saw drifting along the coral reef was stunning! Rob made sure we were comfortable along the way and stopped to point out exciting fish! The post snorkeling snacks were the best! How delicious to experience the local dragonfruit!! Would highly recommend!

  My wife and I were looking for something different, away from the resorts and the crowds. We were not disappointed. Rob took us for a private hike through... read more Arikok National Park to the highest point in Aruba. He was an excellent naturalist and called our attention to the various plants and birds along the way. Afterwards he provided a snack of fresh fruit and sandwiches before taking us to a quiet beach to drift snorkel over a reef. It was my first time snorkeling and the water was a little choppy but Rob was very patient and attentive. We saw turtles, squid, sea stars and many fish. When we were done Rob even shared some of his favorite spots to get local Aruban and Dutch food. It was a great tour and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the natural beauty that Aruba has to offer.

  Rob picked up our family of 5 at 0530 for our sunrise hike. He outfitted us headlamps and made sure we all had water. The hike started with... read more some uphill terrain and loose footing on rocks so wear hiking or tennis shoes. This is not a flip flop type of hike. Rob made sure we could all keep up and planned breaks accordingly. Rob brought snacks for the hike and took pictures of our family along the way which he then emailed to us. At the end he had watermellon to indulge on which was perfect as the hike back was somewhat hot. As a native of the Island Rob is very knowledgeable and gave us recommendations on activities and restaurants to visit.

  We could not have asked for a more spectacular day to celebrate our 25th Anniversary! Rob was right on time picking us up at our Vrbo bungalow in Alto Vista.... read more We drove to The National Park left our car and hiked for several hours. Rob is well versed in the birds of Aruba, knowing where we could see the Burrowing Owls (National bird) and other wildlife. To our amazement, and his (I think he was slightly more excited than we were!) we got to watch 9 possibly 10 Warawara birds as they preened and performed for us! Rob called his business partner/girlfriend to report the siting! We then had fresh watermelon to rehydrate and headed to the Donkey Sanctuary to feed our watermelon rinds to some very eager donkeys. They have 120! Afterwards we made our way to Mangrel Halto for drift snorkeling for a couple of hours! It was easy going with lots of colorful fish. We finished with delicious vegetarian sandwiches, more fresh fruit and several recommendations for dinner! We highly recommend Rob and Fins & Feet Nature Tours.

  If you're seeking a peaceful, private snorkeling experience without crowds and big boats this is the perfect choice. Professional and personalized...see amazing coral and sea life.. Everything is tailored to... read more your preferences. Highly recommended!

  Rob led our trip (2 people), and we had a great time. As one would expect for a sunrise hike, we started in the dark, Rob loaned us headlamps. The... read more trail was pretty rough, so I would not advise this trip for folks who don't enjoy a bit of a challenge (wear good shoes for sure). As the sky got lighter, more and more of the natural beauty was revealed to us. We arrive just in time for the sunrise and were rewarded for our early start and hard work.
After a tricky traverse over some slippery rocks (guided ably by Rob), we swam in the natural pool. Rob gave us masks and snorkels. We were surprised to see so many of the beautiful reef fish we'd seen snorkeling in the open ocean. We had the pool completely to ourselves, another reward for our early start, I understand it's very popular.
On the walk back, we took a different route and had more highlights. We saw two Aruban eagles perching and flying. At one point, they were being chased by a very bold kestrel. Rob said he'd never seen that, and we felt very lucky.
When we got back to Rob's vehicle, it was already quite hot. We enjoyed icy cold fresh fruit and drinks. Just what we wanted!
Rob was born and raised on Aruba, and his love of the island's nature was an important part of our experience. We were very happy we made this trip.

  Definitely worth the money. On our own we didn't have the proper equipment or understand where precisely to go. He was professional and kind. I wish him continuous success!
