## Overview

The Luxury Lagoon Cruise allows you to cruise along Aruba’s Southern Coast aboard our Teak Schooner. While cruising, join us by the bar for a cool refreshment or lay down on one of our lounges to unwind and take in the sight. Some may also enjoy sunbathing on the deck while sipping Mimosas and/or making a splash while rope-swinging. After a refreshing swim or adventurous guided snorkel or kayak exploration, enchant your taste buds as our onboard chef prepares a delightful lunch grilled on sight accompanied by some cool Caribbean music and refreshing hand-crafted cocktails. As we sail back, hang loose & delight in the scenic beauty Aruba grants to us all.
