We got to kayak past many popular beaches, beautiful local homes and saw many fish. Our guide JD was friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the Aruba island. I only wish we had remembered to bring bread or crackers to bring more fish to us

Misleading

Sandimacari, Jan 2025

What they should know is the description is misleading. First it was only an hour nit two like it said. They was no light up kayaks. With that being said the guides were so nice and what little kayaking we did was beautiful. I don't think 80 should b charged at all.

Was a great tour, we saw so many turtles.

Evelyn_P, Nov 2024

Had a great time, tour guides were knowledgeable and it was great. The took us to where there were a lot of turtles which was really nice.

Relaxation At Its Finest - A Must Do Excursion

Niambi_T, Aug 2024

This is a must do excursion. We were a family of four (including 13 year old daughters) and we did quite a bit including parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and an ATV tour. We were here all week and this was the perfect way to close out our vacation. The water was calm, the view was beautiful and our guide (JD) was a pleasure. We kayaked for nearly two hours, but the pace was just right and it didn’t feel like a workout. We travelled pretty far down the coastline and JD found the perfect spot for us stop and watch an amazing sunset. Plus, JD took a good number of photos and videos which he transferred to me at the end of the ride. This was just perfect! Thanks so much!

Beautiful sunset!

Maria_S, Mar 2024

It was great being on the ocean and getting a different perspective. We were not able to see a lot of fish, but none the less, enjoyed the experience!

Highly Recommend

Christy_A, Jan 2024

Lovely evening kayak on the ocean. I have kayaking experience but my friend does not, but it was perfect fro the two of us. It was just us and the tour guides which was an extra bonus. They told us lots of stories and facts about the area.

Kayak for two

Silke_S, Dec 2023

Our tour guides did an awesome job. Due to the weather and water conditions our time was a little bit shorter. The sunset was awesome to watch. Unfortunately we couldn’t see anything of the marine life.

Fun evening activity!

RAINY ADVENTURE

Eleanor_P, Aug 2023

We had a great time. We were unable to make our original date due to my husband not feeling well. The tour was gracious and allowed us to reschedule which we were very greatful.The sky was cloudy but the scene was beatiful. We were cuaght in the rain but we had a great guide who was a very friendly young man and made our first kayaking trip very memorable. We wish the best to Lee and J.D who were great host. Hopefully we may run into each other again. Thanks again for a great time.

Not what promised

BethAnn_G, Jun 2023

We went last friday. They "took pictures" and said would email them to us next morning. We have not recieved. I even emailed requesting, not even a response. Scenery was beautiful. Kayak's bottom was all scratched up and unable to see anything through it though.

High waves; impacts route

Paula_V, May 2023

The waves were strong so the direction was to paddle closer to shore. The waves made it hard to hear anything the leaders has to say, and it was a bit disorganized when getting kayakers ready. No real direction given for destination.

Beautiful sunset kayak

Blake_W, Mar 2023

Fabulous evening on the kayaks. The tour guides were very friendly and interactive and made our whole experience fun. The “glass bottom” is plastic and not very see through, so don’t expect much there. But the entire time was super fun. Kayaking during sunset was super memorable. They have dry boxes for your phones, and they also take pictures of you the whole time and send them to your email later. And then the light up bottom on the way back was the coolest part. The sea floor gets lit up by the lights they put in your kayak and you can see all sorts of coral, fish, and we even saw a turtle! Definitely recommend this exertion to anyway staying in Aruba. Side note, if you are using public transportation make sure you take an early bus to Arashi beach, then we taxied back.

Evening kayak

Edie_L, Aug 2022

We had a very nice time. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and we did not see the sunset. The instructors were very helpful, friendly and pleasant. I would definitely recommend them!

Excellent kayak adventure

Taylor_T, Jun 2022

We had a blast doing this sunset kayak tour! Our flight was delayed the day we had planned to kayak, and the guide was more than happy to help accommodate us and let us join on a different day instead. We loved the views, especially after it got dark and we could use the LED lights to see the fish swimming under us! The paddling was easy and waters were calm enough to feel very stable and secure in our seats. We definitely recommend this adventure HANDS DOWN!!! 5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend!

Kyra_R, Jun 2022

Amazing experience! Guides were extremely kind and supportive throughout entire tour. Amazing way to see the sunset and we even got to see a shipwreck up close.

DO IT! IT'S GREAT!

Mash_M, Apr 2022

This was an incredible experience. The water was warm even at night and we saw different fish, squid, and urchins. The guides were very knowledgeable and supportive. We had a great time! Tips: eat beforehand and wear a rash guard/long sleeves. Beginners and experienced kayakers alike enjoyed this activity in my crew. Please don't forget to tip the guides.

No fish. Great sunset.

Juli_M, Mar 2022

Not what we expected at all. We were hoping for so much more fish viewing with the LED lights at night. It turned into a kayak trip with a nice sunset but very little fish. Oh well. We enjoyed our guides and actually ran into them the next day while snorkeling at Mangel Halto.

AMAZING TOUR

Alesha_B, Dec 2021

Our guide, Jordy, was AMAZING! I spelled his name wrong and I’m sorry, but he knows who he is:) Most informative and exciting tour! It was too amazing for words, just DO IT!!!

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Dear Alesha: We are so happy that you had an amazing time on board. Please visit us next time you are in Aruba - We agree with you - Jeandrick your tour guide is awesome!!!

Great experience

Francesca_M, Sep 2021

My boyfriend and I had a great time. The kayaking was a lot more work than I thought but overall it was a really cool tour. The guides were wonderful. We didn’t have fish jump in the boat but I did see a sea turtle that went right under my kayak. Phenomenal sight.

Had a blast kayaking in the dark

James_R, Aug 2021

Tour guides were welcoming. We were able to see a sunset while parked. Then the fun began…lights in and fish jumping. Had a couple join us in the kayak. Needle nose fish was really cool. Great experience!!!

An absolute must do

Jake_R, Aug 2021

The entire trip was fantastic. We left at 6 on the dot and we’re back at 8 on the dot. Fish love jumping into the kayak as they are attracted to the light, and that was equally as terrifying as it was hilarious. Impossible not to enjoy your time with the Clear Kayak group. Our guides were awesome, just amazing people all around. Everyone should try at least once

Unique & fun

Kellee J, Sep 2019

This was a unique excursion on our trip to Aruba. We met around 6 pm and two guides took us down the coast, and back, kayaking while they explained the history of the island. It was really nice to watch the sunset and the skyline from the water.

Like no other kayaking trip

Megan_S, Sep 2019

This was an awesome experience. Joe was a great guide! We got to snorkel for a bit then saw the sunset. So gorgeous when on the water. Were able to see a ship wreck and fish swimming beneath us. I would definitely recommend!
