Kayaking is one of the best ways to experience the Mangel Halto coastline. With kayaking you can go to places that are very nice and not easy accesible to other forms of water transportation. Our experienced tour guides have a broad knowledge of the area and about the marine life. Kayaking is eco friendly and is also a good form of exercise.

Mangel Halto Beach
We will start by kayaking along the beautiful coastline of Mangel Halto Beach. Then, we will head to the reefs where our tour guide will explain the area. At the reef, we can snorkel and see the corals and beautiful reef fish. After snorkeling, we will kayak to the nearby Spanish Lagoon. There are many mangroves there, and we will kayak and explore the area. Finally, we will kayak back to our starting point at Mangel Halto Beach.

They canceled the day before for winds, even though the day it was scheduled on would have been fine. They did not offer to reschedule either. Very disappointing

Warm, friendly and skilled guide who gave us a fun, informative excursion. Gave us a great alternative when it was too windy for our original tour. So happy he didn’t just cancel us. I highly recommend!

One of the best experiences on my vacation. Philip was wonderful. He knows so much about the island and his love for what he does is obvious. He is funny and very kind. The tour had breathtaking views and gives you an up close look at the flora and fauna. I could have just sat in the kayak the whole day taking in the view. The kayaks are surprisingly sturdy for open kayaks. There were strong winds and decent waves, but I never once got close to turning over. You are definitely going to want a camera for this adventure. This tour is a must.

This tour was really fun! We had a great time with Philip. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and was a great guide. My daughter and I had a wonderful time snorkeling and kayaking him!

Wonderful tour and entertaining! Philip deserves all of the praise for his ability to guide while cracking jokes and providing information about Aruba. He is chock full of facts and will answer all of your questions. The snorkeling on the reef was beautiful and you see many species of marine life living their life's just a few feet below. The kayaking was somewhat challenging on the way back in going against the current (just as a heads up) but well worth the scenery and history and Philip will get you through. Philip even brings a wet proof bag for your belongings. We could not recommend a better tour guide!

It was an amazing experience with my partner, the monitor was great explaining everything that we were doing and seeing. Made us feel safe at all moments which made the experience that much more enjoyable. At the end we decided to do snorkel and he gave us the equipment and also we enjoyed watching amazing fish.

Phillip was a knowledgeable and helpful guide and host on our trip, sharing his love of the island and its beauty. My wife and two teenage boys had a great time.

Phillip was our guide and he is super knowledgeable and friendly. We are experienced kayakers but he still ensured we knew the basics! it was quite windy and wavy out so we didn't snorkle but we enjoyed the kayaking. He took us through Spanish Lagoon pointing out various things along the way. Would highly recommend!

Great exploring tour. Visited a reef with a “snorkeling shack” on it. Phillip the tour guide was great - very patient and informative on the area and island overall!

We had so much fun on this tour! First we kayaked out to a reef just off the mangel halto coast, and Philip guided us through a few areas. We saw tons of fish and had a great view of the coast. Then we got back in the kayaks and headed to the Spanish Lagoon. So cool to see the mangroves and learn about the area. The whole tour was about 2 hours. Philip is a great guide- very friendly and we learned a lot from him! He also shared great recommendations for other things to see and places to eat during our trip.
