A fun, relaxing way to experience the ocean and see Aruba

5.00This tour was absolutely worth it; we would do it again in a heartbeat. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned. The glass-bottom kayak made it easy to see the ocean floor when the water was shallow, which was such a unique and interesting experience. Our guide was fantastic, friendly, helpful, and very personable. He made sure we were comfortable navigating the kayak, explained how to use the oars, and kept the experience fun and easygoing. He pointed out wildlife along the way (we even saw turtles!), shared interesting history about the island and mangroves, and gave great local dining recommendations. He also took photos for us throughout the tour, which was such a nice bonus. To top it off, we were treated to chilled iced tea and fresh fruit at the end, such a thoughtful touch. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing way to experience the ocean and see Aruba from a different perspective, we highly recommend this tour and guide.
Water way to rough

3.00I will tell you that it would have been a great experience if the wave and swells were not over your head. Our kayak took on a lot of water to the point we thought we were going to go under… my husband is a navy guy and he was extremely nervous. Our tour guide was awesome but was probably not a good day to go out!!! Just glad we made it back we made it back to sure…

5.00It’s a pretty easy paddle. The water is so beautiful and the scenery is amazing. We had a very small group so basically got a personal tour.
Awesome experience!

5.00This was a great experience! My husband and I did this and it was just us and one other couple. The path we took along the coast and around the mangroves was so beautiful. We even saw two sea turtles! Our guide, Zenon, walked us through some preliminaries about kayaking and made sure everyone was comfortable. He was so friendly and personable, and was knowledgeable about the environment we kayaked through. After the tour, we were treated to fresh fruit and drinks and got to see some iguanas eating the fruit rinds. Our guide took pics during the trip and sent them to us afterwards so we didn't have to take our own pics and could just enjoy the tour. Can't recommend this experience highly enough!
Fantastic Kayake Experience
