Kayaking was a great experience, highly recommend to anyone visiting the island looking for a little adventure. Sea glass island is so unique and beautiful. I brought my goggles to swim and saw beautiful fish and a sea turtle! Rich was a great guide. Highly recommend!

We had a great time kayaking to sea glass island with JD! He was awesome and very down to earth. We found soooo many awesome pieces to take home. My sunglasses even fell into the ocean and JD jumped in and found them!! It was very fun and one of our favorite parts of the trips. We 100% recommend!

Short kayak past some pretty villas and great seaglass treasure hunting. My family liked it and a great chance to

We had a great time with Jason! He shared a lot of knowledge about the area and enjoyed talking cars with my husband and father-in-law. The kayaking was great and the island is beautiful! Awesome to look for your own sea glass. Great time!

It is a really pretty island with great seaglass hunting, but most of what you’ll find is the typical sea glass colors, so just don’t go in thinking it will all be rare finds. The kayak ride is very short, but in one direction it is strong against the current. Also, with the heat out on the island it did feel like the tour was maybe a bit too long (30 minutes shorter would be great). Overall it is a relaxing and peaceful morning good for all ages.

There is physical activity but it’s great. Water hats sun screen is a must. Kayaking to the island is fun.
Shannon_T, Jul 2026
This is not a kayaking trip, which is what we thought it was. You kayak for 30 minutes and then spend 2 hours on sea glass island looking for sea glass. The tour guides were very nice and helpful. It just wasn’t what we were expecting.
Jasmine_S, Jun 2026
Definitely would book again when I go back! If you’re looking for something peaceful to do I’d recommend they definitely helped me face my fears and they took lots of pictures during the event ! 10/10 recommendations to all

Such a cool and unique experience learning about the history and collecting sea glass on the island :)

Fun time, so much beach glass! Kayak trip out was fun and guide was the best! Recommended for a fun activity.
Lilly_J, Jun 2026
This was absolutely amazing. If you are a sea glass connoisseur like myself this is a must! Definitely go in the morning because it is very hot. I would do this again and I definitely recommend. Great experience.
Theresa_J, Apr 2026
Guide was great. Way overpriced. Sea glass beach so disappointing. Very little kayaking. Spend your money on something else.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hi Theresa, sorry to hear your review and also that you did not like the Seaglass island. Most people do like it.
Normally if you ask the tour guide he will gladly take you for more kayaking. We do that all the time. And about the price, our company actually has one of the lowest price on this platform.
Jacob_S, Apr 2026
Very great experience! Tour guide was very nice and knowledgable about the island. Sea glass looked very cool!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the review and for the stars!!
Christopher_F, Apr 2026
It was a short kayak trip, not to trying or physically demanding. Found so many nice and unique items, honestly could have looked for four hours. JR was amazing, lots of knowledge about the island over all. Would definitely do this trip next visit!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for the awesome review we appreciate it!! You are welcome always.

Our guide was excellent and we had a blast hunting for blue sea glass among the green and brown.
The winds and current were pretty strong when we disembarked but due to the good instruction we received, we managed not to flip the kayak. The ride itself wasn’t long at all, as the barrier island was much closer than it seems on a map.
Certainly would recommend for morning before the afternoon winds really pick up.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your review!! We are glad you liked the tour. Yes somedays it's very windy and the current can be very strong. Safety is our priority and that is why we provide good kayaking instructions before we start. Hope to see you again on your next trip to Aruba.
Katie_W, Mar 2026
This is great for someone who loves seaglass hunting and likes kayaking, this excursion is worth it! Lots to choose from and our tour guide was super friendly. May seem on the pricier side, but there’s nothing like this experience (at least for us in New England). He let us spend as much time as we needed and provided water and oranges as well (and yes, you can take seaglass home too!) Loved supporting this local business excursion!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your amazing review, it means so much for us that you support our local business. We are very glad you liked the tour!!
Johnson_S, Mar 2026
We had a good time but the title/description of this activity on Viatour is misleading. It's not really a kayak tour. The kayak part took around 2 minutes each way. The rest of the 2 hours is spent independently digging around on sea glass island. We didn't really get a tour of anything. Our kayak guide was very friendly and charismatic, we just wish that the actual kayaking part lasted longer than 5 minutes total, even in windy conditions.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the review. We should have told you that in case you want to kayak more you can let us know. For next time we can arrange for you to kayak more on this route.
Kelly_v, Mar 2026
Excellent tour guide. Sea glass island was interesting. Only regret is the paddle time wasn't longer.
Rick_A, Jan 2026
JR was our guide and we were very pleased. It was very windy so we launched at a different spot closer to the island. He brought water and fruit and was very knowledgeable.
I was surprised how the close the island was to the shore, literally 5 minutes of paddling.
Would I do it again or recommend, probably not. The sea glass is almost all from green and brown bottles. The island is small and narrow. There were many other people out there as well.

Phillip was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the island history. He made sure everyone had a safe trip
Rebecca_B, Jan 2026
Philip was absolutely an amazing tour guide. He got us over there safely even on a windy day and took the time to explain why the island was there and go over the basic history of Aruba. He was super helpful and excited every time we found a cool piece of glass. I highly recommend a tour with Philip. You will not be disappointed!!!!
Stacey_S, Jan 2026
It’s an amazing kayak experience with Philip. His island knowledgeable is outstanding. He works really hard to make your experience one that’s unforgettable. We will call him in the future for our island exploring.
Joost_S, Dec 2025
It is spectacular the amount of seaglass that lies on the island. Philip is a wonderful guide who is very relaxed with huge knowledge about nature. He is passionate aboit what he is doing. The kayaking is also great.
Barbara_V, Nov 2025
Cancelled at the last minute. We then had to take a poorly inflated rubber dingy and for the $$, not worth it.
Kathy_K, Nov 2025
Guide took his time in instructing us on the kayaks and showed us the island. He was on time to meet us. He also offered to put our phones in a waterproof bag on his kayak and provided us with bottled water. We were given the freedom to explore on our own and we enjoyed it immensely. We found a lot of beautiful sea glass! He even gave us a tip on how to avoid some heavy traffic getting back to our place.
Catherine_W, Oct 2025
This was a fun experience of kayaking and hunting for sea glass. Jason was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable about the island. The kayaking was a short trip which left us with plenty of time for hunting for the special colors of sea glass. The 4:30 time slot allowed us to finish up the trip just in time to catch another beautiful sunset.
Nicole_M, Oct 2025
If you are an Seaglass lover this is a must do!! You will be guided and taught some great info for your treasure hunt as well!!!
Wendy_W, Oct 2025
We had an amazing time. The whole process was a breeze. W meet at a designated area and then followed to the drop in point. Phillip was fantastic! He was so friendly, and was great to chat with. He was very knowledgeable, and just a joy to be around. He took the time to show us around, snap some pictures for us and just make us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend doing this tour!! We will 100% use him again.

Phil very knowledgeable,and took time with us throughout the entire experience.will definitely recommend to family/friends
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you Michael for your review and hope to see you next time!!
Mike_K, Jun 2025
The tour guide was friendly, courteous, and did a great job explaining what we had to do rowing the kayaks. The island had as much glass as you could collect. Great experience for the family.
