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

5.00I’m glad we had the opportunity to experience this excursion. This was a more intimate time with our family and very island educated. The view was amazing as always in Aruba. Mango Alto is now my favorite beach. Oh and yes it is a workout but also very worth it!
Awesome

5.00It was a great experience and a fun way to see the island. It was also a nice arm workout, be ready to paddle. This isn’t your normal kayak down a river experience, but it’s a lot of fun.
Great family activity at Mangel Halto

5.00We had a great time kayaking with your guides Zenon and Aiden! We started at Mangel Halto Beach and kayaked out to an area where our family could snorkel for about 30min. All snorkel gear was provided. When we finished snorkeling, we kayaked out to a lagoon area where our tour guides gave us some history on the area in the calm waters. We finished the tour by enjoying the fruit provided to us by the tour guides. We were definitely there for the full 2hours as stated on the tour. My 17 and 14 year old daughters said they enjoyed it more than a day on the beach. Would definitely recommend and is a great activity for a family!!
