Amazing Time on Sea Glass Island!

Alison_M, Aug 2026

Amazing experience to Sea Glass Island! Our guides were very knowledgeable about sea glass and what we could find if we spent some time exploring. Alex was an awesome guide. Made us very comfortable and surprised us with sea glass that he would find. He gave my daughter a purple piece that she loved. Powerades and water were provided which was great as it was hot. They provided everything from bags and rakes to kayaks and life jackets. It was a short kayak trip over there. Overall worth your time as we came away with 2 full bags of interesting sea glass.

10/10 Love Sea Glass Island!

Natalie_R, Jul 2026

This excursion was the best! They give you a huge bag of sea glass, and a rake to dig through. Unlike other excursions, you get to take something home with this one! They give a complimentary koozie at the end, it was so cute. The tour guides were so helpful and attentive, one of them gave me a huge piece of red sea glass, they are seriously so nice. The kayak trip is also not hard at all, less than 5 minutes, and they guide you the whole way. This is one you don’t want to skip in Aruba, I highly recommend! Thank you Alex!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Natalie! 💙 We're thrilled to hear you had such a great time on Sea Glass Island!

We hope they bring back wonderful memories of your time in Aruba. Thank you again for recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure someday! Warm regards, Ericko and Team 🛶💙🌴

Highly recommend!

Crystal_T, Jul 2026

We had so much fun with Eriko. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. I am by no means an experienced kayaker but I felt safe all throughout my time with Eriko’s guidance. He generously shared a few of the beautiful pieces he found with my boyfriend and I.

Fantastic experience

Carrie_S, Jun 2026

The kayak trip to sea glass island was amazing! The kayak portion is quite fast, and even on a day with rough waters, we got to the other side with ease. Tour guides Alex and Ericko were fantastic! My kids ages 13 and 15 loved it, as well. Tips: wear water shoes with sturdy soles, bring a hat, and expect to get a little wet.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Carrie! We're so happy to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic time on Sea Glass Island!

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back to Aruba for another treasure hunt someday. 🌴✨ Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 💙🛶

Super fun tour! Great guide!

Julie_B, Jun 2026

A Really fun unusual experience in Aruba! Our guide, Ericko was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the short trip over to the island super easy. The kayaking was fun and not difficult at all. I couldn't believe how much glass there was to dig through. We found everything from emerald greens and rare blues to cool shaped pieces. It's wonderful to have an authentic, eco-friendly souvenir to take home, especially since you can't take shells. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island!"

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your amazing review, Julie! We're so happy you enjoyed this unique Sea Glass Island adventure! It was a pleasure showing you around and sharing the history of the island. 😊 We love that you found such a beautiful variety of sea glass—from emerald greens to those rare blues! And you're absolutely right: taking home sea glass is a wonderful, eco-friendly souvenir and a special reminder of your time in Aruba. 💎 Thank you so much for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another treasure hunt the next time you're in Aruba! Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 🌴💙

Fun day on Sea Glass Island

Michael_A, Jun 2026

For those who enjoy finding sea glass this is for you. Amazing amounts of sea glass on this island just a short kayak trip (literally under 5 mins) from Aruba mainland. Our guide Alex was great and we spent a couple of hours collecting all sorts for cool sea glass specimens to add to our collection at home. Recommend!!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Michael! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time on Sea Glass Island and were able to add so many unique pieces to your collection! The short paddle makes it easy to get to the island, leaving plenty of time to search for those special finds. 💎 Thank you for your kind words about Alex—we'll be sure to pass them along. He loves helping guests discover the island's hidden treasures and making every tour a fun experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Aruba for another treasure hunt someday! Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 🌴💙

Thank you so much for this amazing review, Gaylee! 😊💙 "Disneyland for sea glass" might just be our new favorite description! 😄💎 We're absolutely thrilled that you had such a wonderful time and found so many treasures along the way.

Best Beach Combing Experience

Gabrielle_w, Jun 2026

The Sea Glass Island experience with One Happy Kayak was one of the highlights of our honeymoon in Aruba. Ericko and Alex were excellent guides - they were kind, professional, and fun. My husband and I also sincerely appreciated that they waited for us when we were a little late upon arrival - they were very kind about it and responsive when I messaged them through Viator to let them know we were running behind. Lastly, before we started the kayak journey, Ericko provided some history about sea glass island and showed us examples of different colored sea glass, marbles, pottery, and more you can find - some more rare than others. The kayak over to the island was scenic, enjoyable, and very brief. Ericko and Alex provided hand rakes and a plastic bag for our finds - they also provided water and Powerade. Beach combing on the island was so fun and I was so present it didn’t feel like 2 hours went by. One final thing I really appreciated about Ericko is that he asked for feedback at the end of the tour - if there was anything they could do better, differently, or add - I thought this was very professional and thoughtful. Everything about it was perfect - my only wish is more time! I could really spend all day there. I recommend the Sea Glass Island experience with One Happy Kayak - I will be returning to them for this experience whenever we return to Aruba!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review, Gabrielle! 😊💙 We are truly honored that Sea Glass Island was one of the highlights of your honeymoon in Aruba.

We always do our best to make sure guests feel welcome and relaxed from the moment they book until the moment they head home with their treasures. 💎 We're especially happy to hear you enjoyed learning about the island's history and that time flew by while treasure hunting — that's exactly the feeling we hope every guest leaves with. Your comments about asking for feedback mean a lot as well. We are always looking for ways to improve and create the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you again for choosing One Happy Kayak to be part of such a special trip. We would absolutely love to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Aruba again. 💙🛶 Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 💎🌴

Sea glass fun.

Jodi_K, Jun 2026

It is a short kayak ride to the little island where you will search for the perfect sea glass. Make sure to have sunscreen on is my advice. The tour guides were so nice and friendly. We met some really nice people. Have a fun time.

Fun and unique experience

Elizabeth_R, Jun 2026

We had a great experience. Ericko and Alex were very knowledgeable about the area! They offered to tow our kayak if the current was too strong for us but we were able to get there and back just fine. The Powerade and water was a nice touch! Overall it was a fun experience.

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

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

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
