Aruba Night Glass Kayak Tour
Overview

Mobile ticket
Explore Aruba's underwater world after dark as you head out in glass-bottom kayaks with an experienced guide. Make it out onto the water in time for sunset, and then use LED floodlights to illuminate the dark water, filled with vibrant coral reefs and neon-hued fish.
Join your us at Arashi Beach and spend a few moments going over safety basics and learning how to paddle your kayak effectively. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, filling the sky with shades of gold and orange, and then flick on your boat's LED lights to see Aruba's rich marine life beneath you.
Glide over vibrant beds of coral, look for blue parrot fish darting in and out of rocky hideouts, and follow your guide to a shallow shipwreck to see how nature has claimed it as a new reef. Wait for the stars to come out to enjoy a spectacular view of the night sky, and then head back to shore to return your gear and end your night on the water.

Misleading

3.00What they should know is the description is misleading. First it was only an hour nit two like it said. They was no light up kayaks. With that being said the guides were so nice and what little kayaking we did was beautiful. I don't think 80 should b charged at all.
Was a great tour, we saw so many turtles.

1.00This expensive tour was knowingly misrepresented. (Ad copy in photos.) There were no "amazing views," "vibrant coral reefs" or fish let alone "neon hued" ones. While you can't guarantee fish will show up, coral reefs stay where they are. There was never an intention of actually "gliding over vibrant beds of coral." I began to wonder why we were kayaking in an area of swimmers and tour party boats (along with their blaring music to create atmosphere) and asked our guide what we were doing in the one of the most popular areas of Aruba looking for fish. He said the tour was actually a "sunset tour," not a nature tour. That was not what was advertised. We were completely misled. I booked this to see the "underwater world." Why even bother with crystal bottom boats? That was just a way to help sell the lie about the wonders that awaited. The lights were a couple square boxes thrown in the boat that barely made a difference - not that it mattered. We were the only people on the tour and felt sorry for the guides. Not only did we pay $160, we gave an extremely healthy tip because we aren't the kind of jerks the owner of this company is.
Relaxation At Its Finest - A Must Do Excursion

5.00This is a must do excursion. We were a family of four (including 13 year old daughters) and we did quite a bit including parasailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and an ATV tour. We were here all week and this was the perfect way to close out our vacation. The water was calm, the view was beautiful and our guide (JD) was a pleasure. We kayaked for nearly two hours, but the pace was just right and it didn’t feel like a workout. We travelled pretty far down the coastline and JD found the perfect spot for us stop and watch an amazing sunset. Plus, JD took a good number of photos and videos which he transferred to me at the end of the ride. This was just perfect! Thanks so much!
Best guide ever (JD)!

5.00Ask for JD if he's available. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. He took great pictures of my wife and I with his iPhone and mailed them to me the next day. We may be back with friends in 6 months and will likely repeat this if we do.
Beautiful sunset!

5.00Lovely evening kayak on the ocean. I have kayaking experience but my friend does not, but it was perfect fro the two of us. It was just us and the tour guides which was an extra bonus. They told us lots of stories and facts about the area.
Kayak for two

4.00Our tour guides did an awesome job. Due to the weather and water conditions our time was a little bit shorter. The sunset was awesome to watch. Unfortunately we couldn’t see anything of the marine life.
Fun evening activity!

5.00We got to kayak past many popular beaches, beautiful local homes and saw many fish. Our guide JD was friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the Aruba island. I only wish we had remembered to bring bread or crackers to bring more fish to us
JD was awesome!!

5.00JD from Clear Kayak was AWESOME on our Honeymoon Night-time Kayak Tour! I had no problem keeping up with him but he still took the time to show us all of cool sights and move a comfortable pace, nevermind the amazing photos he took of us along the way! The sunset during the kayaking was also beautiful. The kayaking was fun but JD was what made the trip unforgettable! I highly recommend Clear Kayak and especially JD!!
