    Worth it!!!

    Francisca_O, Sep 2026
    Great experience and definitely worth the price.If you don’t have a rental car, I recommend getting the ticket with transportation. Otherwise, arrange a taxi through the gift shop before leaving so you’re not stuck. Also, bring a change of clothes—taxis may not take you if you’re wet or damp. Overall, highly recommend.

    Average at best.

    Robert_L, Sep 2026
    This is not a good value for the money they charge. You definitely need water shoes - the beach is VERY rocky. The food is mass produced flavorless buffet food. The drinks were ok but would have been nice if there were servers taking orders on the beach vs. having to leave the beach to get your own. The staff were present but I can’t say I ever saw any of them smile once - not even when you deposit money in the tip jars that are EVERYWHERE. Aruba has so many stunning beaches to experience for free - was hoping for much more considering the cost.

    Fantastic place

    Wilfer_S, Aug 2026
    This place is fantastic full of things to do and to enjoy, The people are amazing and have great and beautiful views.

    Flamingos

    Carla_B, Aug 2026
    Loved flamingos but beach is too rocky for older people. Food was so so. Everyone was very nice. Loved the flamingos

    Great beach club day!

    tannishacohen210, Jul 2026
    A great day to experience a beach club. The prices of the premium seating needs to be reduced for what you're getting. Outside of that the experience is worthwhile. If you're in Aruba for a few days this is a great way to spend your day!

    Rock da Boat

    Worth Every Single Dollar! Do It!

    N_Q, Jul 2026
    A true oasis awaits! DO NOT BYPASS THIS EXCURSION! The check in process was seamless and the 5-minute ferry ride was great and pretty fun! Light musical mix was on deck! This was one of the highlights of my family's vacation! The 14, 17, 18 and 20 yr olds loved the floating obstacle course! There were lifeguards on duty, each located on opposite sides of the floatable platform. Parents, singles, couples and other adults enjoyed sliding down the water tube. While others like me, either dipped in the water or lounged on the lawn chairs! Food options were ok for us. Not sure if they had any for vegetarians though. Unlimited fountain drinks, water, ice, and coffee were available. Music selection was great as it bounced out of different genres, decades and nationalities. Watched the flamingos outside of the barrier. Prettiest thing ever! They are beautiful up close and watching them sleep with one leg up and their head tucked behind them. The unfortunate yet funniest part was seeing 2 flamingos drink someone's alcoholic beverage and the patron run trying to stop them. Epic fail. The flamingos went into Birds Gone Wild mode, pecking at each other for a few minutes. Please don't leave your beverages unattended, as it was announced almost every 5 minutes. And oh yeah! Don't feed the birds! They are smart, keep on coming back and bring others to hound you for food! We also go to see turtles and they were BEAUTIFUL! Opportunities to snorkel and ride on a water raft that is pulled by a boat! This is well worth the money! The time is well spent, and you will leave completely renewed!

    This is my second time...

    nalesha_s, Jul 2026
    This is my second time coming back and its always a GREAT TIME!! they've added more to the island which is so exciting.

    I had fun but the rocks...

    Rochelle_B, Jul 2026
    I had fun but the rocks in the water were hard to walk on and kept me from enjoying the water. Food was great!

    Book it!

    allynna_m, Jul 2026
    Extremely family friendly and enjoyable for everyone in the family! Be prepared to have lots of fun, don't for get sunscreen or water shoes because they are a MUST!

    Waste of money

    Stephany_P, Jul 2026
    Overpriced and underwhelming. There’s not much to do. This might be good for 5 and under but I still think it’s overpriced and would not recommend it.

    10/10! Toddler Friendly!

    Nice excursion

    Victoria_J, Jul 2026
    Very chill. The seats do fill up fast. So those just going for vibes should be the earliest. Water slides were fun. They do allow pics with flamingos but u cannot touch them (they are afraid of humans). Turtles are there. Very kid friendly. Will be going again with my kid

    Great food and lots of fun!

    Nadine_L, Jul 2026
    We went with our 4yo who had a blast. A nice lady brought us to see the Flamingoes, the lunch Buffett was delicious. It had fresh salads and fruit, good choice of meat and even a station to fill your tacos with Guacamole and Pico de Gallo. The water jump parcours was a lot of fun for all ages. Definitely recommend to go with the family

    Not worth it

    Jessica_H, Jul 2026
    1000% would not recommend. we stood in line for banana boat ride for almost 2 hours and when it got to us we got Not even 5 minute ride because it was ending the day but every group in front of us had 20 minute ride.. the general admission beach is so small and crowded, not worth it unless you buy a private cabana. It’s not made clear that you don’t get to interact with flamingos unless you rent a cabana. Absolutely not worth the money at all. We had a party of 12 and every one of us was very disappointed.

    Highly recommend!!!

    Jon_H, Jul 2026
    We had an amazing experience today. Our group of seven had a private cabana and it was definitely worth the upgrade. Flamingos walking by us all day, the private beach was amazing, and the staff were awesome. Food was very good, they served tacos at the buffet, but there is also a grill where you can get chicken tenders and burgers. We reserved a taxi for the return back to our hotel, but it was over an hour late. Kyra stayed with us until our taxi showed even though she was off the clock. Great service and an awesome experience. We will definitely do this again when we come back to Aruba.

    The island was beautiful...

    Naika_T, Jun 2026
    The island was beautiful and very enjoyable. The staff were friendly, the buffet and burger bar were very good, the drinks were a tad bit watered down but still tasty. I would definitely go back

    Loved being able to sit...

    Sherri_K, Jun 2026
    Loved being able to sit in with the flamingos. Food was very good. Lots of free activities as well as paid activities you could add on. Highly recommend sea treck

    Robert_C, Jun 2026
    This was an excellent memorable experience! Everyone was very friendly and the service was amazing! Thank you for an amazing experience!

    Great Family Experience

    Tori_M, Jun 2026
    This was a great experience for our family. The Island was not crowded at all. We had zero wait for any of the activities on the island. My girls spent most of the day on the inflatable obstacle course. We didn’t have any difficulty finding seating. We did go on a Wednesday so I’m not sure if that had something to do with the smaller crowd or not. Once you get on the island food and drink are all free and the food was pretty decent. Definitely worth the money!

    Amazing Experience

    Cierra_D, Jun 2026
    A great and wild experience! Plenty of fun, drinks, and a great vibe! So relaxing. Highly recommended!

    Enjoyable

    AnnaMay_T, May 2026
    It was full of fun and excitement. Definitely recommend for family island outing. The ferry was smooth. Food was great. It was perfect.

    Memorial Day weekend

    milady_b, May 2026
    We enjoyed every minute… worth it for a family. Something for everyone. Favorite was sea trek and splash pads

    Overall experience was ok...

    Stephanie_M, May 2026
    Overall experience was ok but it is definitely false advertising. We did not do cliff jumping only riding UTV . Wasn’t nothing me or my friends was expecting or that is expected to do!!! Very unfair and needs to be updated as soon as possible.

    Great experience!

    Cortnee_T, May 2026
    Had a great time! Would definitely recommend for family and friends. Plenty to do and enjoy. 10/10 for sure.

    Turtle private cabana was the BEST!!

    Kimerly_S, Apr 2026
    The private cabana was worth every penny. It was a relaxing space for me and my family with ample room. The wait staff was so kind and accommodating. They kept the drinks coming that I lost count. lol! Being right next to the flamingos was so cool. One suggestion would be netting around the cabana, trying to eat with all the birds was off putting. It also would be nice to have some form of safety tie/rope at the bottom of the stairs going into the water as a safety precaution in addition to the life vest. I would have loved to have gotten in the water more but I’m not a strong swimmer so I only went down to the last step. I really enjoyed the entire trip.

    Definitely recommend!!!!...

    Ashanti_D, Apr 2026
    Definitely recommend!!!! Everything was everything. If you want to be where the flamingos are you have to pay for premium seating. But everything was worth the price 100%

    Great for kids

    Alana_H, Apr 2026
    Took 2 teenagers they enjoyed the activities. A nice splashpark/ wildlife for younger kids. The food was surprisingly tasty and plentiful enjoyed the beer and frozen drinks at the bar but not the cocktails. If you are an adult I would recommend spending the money on something else. The beach area was small and rocky.

    Amazing Time!

    Sierra_S, Apr 2026
    This was great!! Worth every penny! I had a fabulous time! I would highly recommend this for your beach day.

    Great for kids

    Rebecca_S, Apr 2026
    We had a wonderful time. We tried everything they had to offer. My child is 5 years old and was able to reach the big boy water slide. He spent most of his time in the small area. He loved the flamingos, swam in the ocean and ate all the fries he could ever want. 10/10
