Hey;......SNUBA, ARUBA????
I know once I searched and saw a 3 1/2 hour catamaran/snorkel/snuba excursion, but like a dumb head I didn't save or bookmark it. Now when I search, I only see 4+ hour ones. What did you find?
Jackie....I posted some stuff after I first got back from Argentina....will need to try to find it for you and repost...I don't think we can do the 8 hr things...due to the time we depart. Here are the tours I found....I've heard good reviews about De Palm Tours...not sure about the others.
