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

We had such an amazing time at the beach! The water was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. The excursions were a lot of fun and really made the experience even better. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

    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.

    Flamingos

    Elyse_K, Mar 2026
    Not a place for just adults Would have been iok had our grandchild nut gotten sick and couldn’t join us. That was the only reason I booked this excursion

    My Birthday at De Palm Island

    Letishia_C, Mar 2026
    I went for my Birthday and it was a great experience. The Flamingos and turtles were too cool nice added touch. The buffet food could have been better but the food at the bar was great I enjoyed the burgers and de palm fries!! My children had a blast they went on all the slides even the body drop one!!! The beach was a bit rocky but other than that Id give palm island two thumbs up. We got lost trying to find the ferry terminal so please give yourself more than enough time to get there, so you can catch the very first ferry over to the island. Thank Viator!!!

    Amazing Snorkeling

    Cheryl_B, Mar 2026
    My husband and I visited on March 22, 2026. We are beginner snorkelers and not strong swimmers. This was perfect for us! You snorkel from the beach and you can see beautiful fish in water that’s not over your head. The included buffet wasn’t great.

    Incredible Day in Paradise!

    Nicole_N, Mar 2026
    This excursion was the highlight of our trip, offering crystal-clear turquoise waters and pristine, soft sand. The staff was friendly and professional. You could snorkel, ride the banana boat however many times you wanted, soak up sun on the beach, complete the water obstacle course until as many times as your heart desired. It was all inclusive with food and drink and we all enjoyed. This experience exceeded all of our expectation. My family and I highly recommended and would do it again!

    Make sure your shuttle is provided

    Vanessa_H, Mar 2026
    We kept asking for a shuttle like the tour said we would get. We kept getting told we had to take a taxi. It cost us $70 round trip because we kept getting misinformed intentionally. It was not only us this happened to.

    Very cool experience with flamingos

    ROBERT_M, Mar 2026
    We had a wonderful experience; the ferry was a nice ride. All staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our time at the private beach with the up close flamingo experience. We also liked the water park time with our 1 year old daughter- she seemed happier there than at all the beaches we visited. I highly recommend the private beach with VIP palapa if you want a special experience and can afford it.

    Tourist trap

    Jill_R, Mar 2026
    It was ok. Everyone that worked there was very nice. Just not a lot to do there. My 10-year-old was bored after two hours. The food is mediocre. We ended up leaving early. We were very happy to know that the boat goes back-and-forth so we could go back to our hotel. Honestly, it's overpriced and it's a tourist trap.

    It’s a fun place to...

    Scott_P, Feb 2026
    It’s a fun place to explore and have a great day. The kids really enjoyed all the island has to offer. A big thank you to all the friendly staff.

    Great service will be back

    Raymond_H, Feb 2026
    Very nice people on the island very helpful. Helped us with the snorkeling. they had very great food there island food, local food.

    Loved it!!

    Christine_S, Feb 2026
    What a wonderful way to spend a day. We did splurge and get the private cabana, which was well worth it. Being among the flamingos, seeing the beautiful fish while snorkeling and soaking up the sun was just wonderful. And the slides are not just for kids. So much fun!!!

    True Premium Service!!!!!

    Family at the island

    LESLIE_A, Jan 2026
    Food was average but what can you expect people were friendly family loved it would put on the list to do again

    Great food/drink. Much to do and

    Timothy_G, Jan 2026
    Great food at buffet and at the grill. Highly recommend private cabana but if you book when littel/no cruise ships, you nearly have place to yourself

    Always a fun day!

    SheeraJill, Jan 2026
    Had a great time the only drawbacks were the attendants at the cabana. We do this yearly and always have great service but it was lacking this year. My grandson rates it 5 stars though! And we will be back next year.

    50th bday crew

    Techina_C, Jan 2026
    My friends and I rented a private cabana, which I would say is the way to go if you have a large group. The service was excellent. The activities were fun. The food was good as well. It’s good to relaxing if that’s what you wanna do, and it’s also good for fun if that’s what you’re looking for as well.

    The island was so much...

    terry_j, Dec 2025
    The island was so much fun the swimming, snorkeling, and the food and beverages were very good as well. The only downsize was buying from your company overcharged by $30. What I could’ve walked up to the window and bought for 109 I paid $135 for.

    Don’t do it!!

    Michelle_G, Oct 2025
    Not worth the money!! We were bored and got a taxi back to our hotel after about 3 hrs. It might be great for kids or teenagers but very boring for adults. The big slides were not open but no one warned us or even gave us a discount. Food was not the best. Definitely a waste of money!!

    It’s absolutely amazing,...

    Nkem_E, Sep 2025
    It’s absolutely amazing, it’s a must do activity, loved every minute of it, the food, the drinks, the activities, everything was amazing. Next time I’m in Aruba, I’m still gonna do it.
