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!

Guide was great. Way overpriced. Sea glass beach so disappointing. Very little kayaking. Spend your money on something else.

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.

Very great experience! Tour guide was very nice and knowledgable about the island. Sea glass looked very cool!
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!!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

Thank you Michael for your review and hope to see you next time!!

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.

Thank you for the awesome review!! I am glad you and your family enjoyed the tour.

We had an incredible kayaking excursion to Sea Glass Island in Aruba with our amazing guide, Philip! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, pointing out interesting sights along the way and sharing fun facts that made the trip even more enjoyable. Philip was also wonderfully helpful and patient—especially with our kids, who had only been kayaking once before. He even brought along fresh oranges for a snack break, which was such a thoughtful and refreshing touch. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He gave us plenty of time to explore the island and collect all the sea glass we wanted. He also explained which colors are the most rare to find. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a unique experience in Aruba!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for the review and the recommendation!! I really appreciate it! I am glad the kids also liked it and now they are more experienced in kayaking.
Emilee_H, Apr 2025
We had a great time kayaking and searching for sea glass treasure. It was a relaxing experience, would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, May 2025
I'm glad you had a great time!! thank you for the review and hope to see you soon.
Judith_B, Mar 2025
We paddled our tandem kayaks out to the island. It was a short distance - originally a 20 minute paddle, but too wavy so we put in at a different spot. Phillip was our guide. He explained the island and how the sea glass got there and then allowed us time on our own to pick the glass. We were given bottled water and some fruit. Then we kayaked back to where we had put in.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for the great review!!

Gaye_S, Mar 2025
Phillips was knowledgeable and friendly. The amount of sea glass was unreal. Mostly green, white and brown but I found one pink, yellow and blue as well.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Yes Seaglass Island is a unique gem. Thank you for the review!!
Julie_C, Mar 2025
We spent $100 round trip to get to location for the Kayak tour and our Guide never showed up. Very disappointed, I was really looking forward to this excursion.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Sorry to hear this, we do our best to never miss a tour and it was a costly mistake that should not have happened.
Jami_S, Feb 2025
Trip to Seaglass Island was sooo worth it! Phillip and JR were amazingly great! I had never kayaked before and was so excited/nervous but they immediately took over and took such good care of me! The island is loaded and I mean loaded with Seaglass. It was fun finding just the right pieces. Definitely wear water shoes, sandals and sneakers would not be good enough! There are a few trees but wear sunscreen. Book with confidence, Phillip will take great care of you!

Thank you so much for the review I highly appreciate it!!
Rob_H, Feb 2025
Phillip was great to do the tour with. Easy kayak to an island absolutely filled with sea glass. My daughter loves looking for sea glass on the beach and she (and my wife) were in heaven. Phillip told us a lot about the island and Aruba itself. Would recommend 10 times out of 10.
