Water shoes a must and good balance. It was like being on a treasure hunt digging through jewels looking for the most unique to take home. And the guides could explain what you had whether it was pieces of pottery or glass. One of our group found a piece of pottery dating back to something like the 1500's with writing on it. Super neat.

    Family Fun...

    Stephan_G, May 2026
    Amazing experience from start to finish! The guides were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made the entire trip fun and relaxing. The short kayak trip to the island was easy and beautiful, and once we arrived the island was absolutely full of sea glass everywhere. Such a unique and memorable adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Aruba!

    Fun

    Fun little adventure collecting sea glass. Easy kayak over. Guides were very good. Fun for whole family

    Sea Glass Island - Mother, Daughter Visit

    Amy_P, Apr 2026
    Thanks to Ericko's guidance, my daughter and I successfully kayaked to Sea Glass Island in about 3 minutes time. We parked our kayaks and stepped onto the most unbelievable sea glass covered island. There are many areas where you can sit and sift through the glass. We were able to find some small pieces of red and yellow when we patiently dug into the ground. We tried to dig in areas that were harder to get to with the hopes of finding rare pieces. We did not find any of the marbles but we did see plenty of pottery pieces. Water shoes are a must!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much, Amy! 😊 We’re so happy you and your daughter had such a special time together — that’s what it’s all about! Sounds like you did it exactly right too… being patient and digging a little deeper is often where the good finds are. And finding red and yellow is already a great result! Thank you as well for the tip on water shoes — definitely a must! We’d love to have you both back again next time you’re in Aruba… maybe the marbles will be waiting for you then 😄 Warm regards, Ericko and Team

    Great guides, easy...

    Steve_S, Apr 2026
    Great guides, easy kayaking, and a fun little island to explore! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an off the beaten path experience.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you so much, Steve! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience — easy paddle, great vibes, and a little hidden gem to explore is exactly what we aim for! Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you again next time you’re in Aruba 🌴💎 Warm regards, Ericko and Team

    Definitely worthwhile experience.

    Robert_C, Apr 2026
    It was good. But we felt like you were done pretty quickly as you can only search so much. Overall, worth while experience.

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Thank you for your feedback, Robert! 😊 We’re glad to hear you found it worthwhile overall! Everyone experiences the island a little differently — some guests are happy after finding a few special pieces, while others could spend hours searching 😄 We always try to balance the timing so everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. We really appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again next time you’re in Aruba! Warm regards, Ericko and Team

    A great, unique Aruba experience

    Britt_S, Apr 2026
    Who knew there is a seaglass island in Aruba? The guides were friendly and professional and the kayaking trip to the island was quick and easy. Lots of beautiful seaglass to collect and keep!

    Response from Host, Apr 2026

    Great Experience with Safe Guides

    Kunal_S, Mar 2026
    The team was great! The tour included a small kayak trip (to and from the island). The kayak was safe and I noticed that they tied the paddle boards to the kayak which was a bonus if you little kids that accidently drop it. Once on the island, you were given a tool to dig and find the gems. It was a fun experience and got to take some fun gems home. The tour guide even found some stones for the kids, which made their day.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much, Kunal! We really appreciate your thoughtful review. We’re so glad you had a great time and that you felt safe and well taken care of throughout the experience. It’s always our goal to make the tour fun and easy for everyone, especially families, so it’s great to hear the kids enjoyed it and found some special pieces to take home 😊 We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, and we’d love to have you back again anytime! Warm regards, Ericko and Team

    A glass from the past…

    PAUL_V, Mar 2026
    This was a wonderful experience. My wife was a little worried about kayaking across the water with moderate winds and waves. The guide aat in the back of the tandem and shuttled her over while I took his single. She felt safe with that setup. He was incredibly helpful in identifying the various items we found. There is tons of sea glass, particularly green, which kind of makes it a fun challenge looking for the other colors. Keep an eye out and you might see a crab or two. The guide also had good recommendations for a local breakfast (Eduardo‘s Savaneta) and lunch.(Kamino’s Kitchen).

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Paul! 🌊 We’re really glad your wife felt comfortable and safe — we’re always happy to adjust things to make the experience enjoyable for everyone 😊 It’s true… there’s a lot of green out there, which makes finding those other colors even more exciting! And spotting a crab or two is always a nice bonus 🦀 Also great to hear you enjoyed the local food recommendations — we love sharing some of our favorite spots around Savaneta. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back for another treasure hunt someday 🛶✨ Warm regards, Ericko and team

We’re glad you had a great time searching for sea glass. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to see you back in Aruba for another adventure someday. Warm regards, Ericko & team 🌊🛶

    Don't miss out on this unique opportunity

    ALISON_S, Mar 2026
    This is a quick Kayak trip across an inlet. The tour guides provided accomodations to visitors that needed assistance to cross the inlet. The tour guide Eriko was very knowledgeable about all the types of glass and ceramics that could be found on the island include a diagram of his finds. The tour guide Alex had a great personality and he helped everyone feel comfortable kayaking. The island has many great peices of glass so you wont leave empty handed. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Alison, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and the treasure hunt on the island. The short paddle across keeps it approachable for everyone, and we’re always ready to assist when needed so guests can feel comfortable and safe on the water. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed learning about the different types of glass and ceramics that can be found there. Sharing the history and stories behind the pieces is one of our favorite parts of the tour. And thank you for the kind words about Alex as well — we’re lucky to have such a great team helping make the experience fun and welcoming for everyone. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on a future visit to Aruba! Warm regards, Ericko & team 🌊🛶

    Best experience!

    Nancy_K, Mar 2026
    Absolutely the best professional guides who took great care of 4 ladies who are not experienced kayaks? Turned out to be easier than we expected. You don't have to be physically fit to do this activity. Fun digging through all the glass. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Hi Nancy, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re especially happy to hear that you and your group felt well taken care of — that’s always our goal, particularly with first-time kayakers. It’s amazing how quickly nerves turn into confidence once you’re out on the water. We love that you found it easier than expected — that short paddle makes it very approachable, and the real fun begins once the treasure hunt starts. Sunset tours have such a special atmosphere, and we’re so glad you got to experience Sea Glass Island during that golden hour. It was truly a pleasure hosting the four of you — we appreciate the recommendation so much! Warm regards, Ericko & team 🌅🛶

    Ebony_L, Feb 2026
    I’ve never found or even searched for sea glass before, but I think it’s my new beach hobby. Erickson was such a kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming tour guide. He even made sure I had a taxi to pick me up following the conclusion of the tour. 10/10 experience!

Pieces like that carry so much history, and it’s amazing to imagine where they may have traveled from centuries ago. We’re so glad you enjoyed the adventure and the stories behind the finds. Hopefully your treasures bring back great memories of Aruba every time you look at them! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Glass hunting.

    Andrew_K, Feb 2026
    You need to be comfortable in a sea kayak. It’s super easy and a short distance to the island. Also bring sunscreen

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your review! 🌊 You’re absolutely right — being comfortable in a sea kayak makes the short paddle even more enjoyable. Thankfully, it’s a quick and manageable crossing for most guests. And yes… sunscreen is definitely your best friend under the Aruba sun! ☀️ We appreciate you joining us and hope to see you again for another glass hunting adventure! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Treasure hunt

    Suzan_M, Feb 2026
    Kayak part is easy and very short. There is so much sea glass. Mostly amber, green and white. Finding blue or red is like finding treasure.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much for your review! 🌊 You described it perfectly — it really is a treasure hunt! The short kayak crossing makes it easy to get there, and once you arrive… it’s sea glass everywhere. And yes, finding blue or red definitely feels like striking gold! 😊 That’s what keeps it exciting every time. We’re so glad you enjoyed the experience and hope to welcome you back for another hunt in the future! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    The best guides!

    Stephanie_S, Feb 2026
    This was so much fun! We did the sea glass island for our excursion for our Aruba stop on our cruise. There was a time difference and the guides were super flexible when I let them know! Do not be intimidated by the kayaking, it’s not far at all! We had our three kids with us and it was very manageable and the guides will tow if needed! 😊 The island is covered in sea glass, and the guides provided ziploc bags to collect and even told us to make sure we had no coral or shells and to wash all of the sand off before returning to the cruise ship to avoid having ours confiscated! The guides even found some rare colors of sea glass while we were out and gave them to us! 1000/10 recommend if you’re in Aruba! These guys were awesome!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much, Stephanie! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear your family had such a great time and that the excursion worked out smoothly with the cruise schedule. It’s wonderful to know the kayaking felt manageable for everyone — even with kids — and that the sea glass hunt was a hit! We’re especially glad you appreciated the tips and the rare finds along the way. Thank you for the amazing recommendation, and we hope to welcome you all back again someday! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Thank you so much, Brittney! 😄 We’re thrilled to hear you had a blast and enjoyed all the incredible sea glass; it really is something special out there. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again in the future! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Something fun and different

    Cathy_V, Jan 2026
    It was awesome. Ericho was great. He gave us information on what to look for and he had a great sense of humor! Would definitely recommend this tour. The kayaking is easy and even a novice can do it. However, I would say you definitely need water shoes.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you so much, Cathy! 😄 We’re thrilled you had such an awesome time and enjoyed the humor along with the sea glass hunt. We’re glad the kayaking felt easy. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on a future visit to Aruba! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Best tour available to Sea Glass Island. Look no further.

    Debra_B, Jan 2026
    Ericko was super friendly and knowledgeable. Gave us a rake and provided drinks along with tips on where to find some treasures. There is so much sea glass I doubt they will ever run out. We are hopeful to do it again while we are still in Aruba.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you so much, Debra! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time and found plenty of sea glass treasures. It was a pleasure having you out with us, and we love your confidence that Sea Glass Island will never run out — it truly is something special! We’d be more than happy to welcome you back again while you’re still in Aruba. Warm regards, Ericko and team

    Sea Glass hunt

    lori_s, Jan 2026
    We really enjoyed the brief kayak trip to the barrier island to find plentiful sea glass. Ericko explained what to look for and gave us a bag and rake to start our hunt. There were plenty of green, brown and clear with small flecks of blue. We felt like we have enough time for the search and it was great fun. We came from a cruise ship, so were a little challenged to find the starting point, but just need to have the cab call Ericko for verification to avoid that.

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you so much, Lori! 🌊 We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the kayak ride and had fun hunting for sea glass. We’re glad the timing felt just right and that the bags and rakes helped make the search even more enjoyable. Thank you as well for sharing the tip for cruise guests — having the cab call us is always a great way to make finding the starting point easy and stress-free. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back again in the future! Warm regards, Ericko and team

    This was such a fun...

    Kylie_C, Jan 2026
    This was such a fun little trip to sea glass island! Our guide, Ericko, was so knowledgeable and friendly! We found so many beautiful sea glass pieces and some pieces of pottery as well.

It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly appreciate your kind words. Hope to welcome you back again someday! Warm regards, Ericko and team
