Sea Glass Island Tour -a MUST!
That was amazing and the guide was so kind and knowledgeable. Gave us some tips for finding rare colors and it worked! Could have stayed all day! Highly appreciated & recommend! Kim & Steve Knox Monroe, GA 6/21/26

Would not recommend
We got picked up at our hotel on a bus and then met by the people on the beach. They asked if anybody had kayaking experience and some of our group did not. They did not tell anybody how to kayak or give them any tips or anything. I don’t even know why they asked! The current was running really strong, but everybody made it over. Then we were just completely on our own. There was no explanation of what to look for where to go examples or anything. I didn’t even see them the whole time we were there I don’t know if they left the island or what. When it was time to go, they almost left a couple behind because they were not back yet and they didn’t realize they were missing anyone. Only when we asked, did they offer a bottle of water and an apple Going back somehow they were short one life jacket. $149 a person was ridiculous for what we got. I saw other tours where they give you a little rake to help you look for glass and they have a board showing what you could find and what is a treasure, etc. Nothing like that on this trip. Might go back there because my grown daughters would enjoy it, but not with this outfit. Would not recommend.

Ask for Rambo
Rambo and his wife were absolutely the best and extremely accommodating. We kayaked out at 830am and got to the island first. The side of the mangrove we went to was awesome and we had it all to ourselves. After a hour or so we walked through the mangrove to the other side and were mixed in with other tours and didn't care for it. The wife was even cool enough to dig for glass and found great colors and gave them to my wife and daughter.

A Memorable Experience
We had an amazing time on our seaglass island tour with Jason. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly kind and made us feel comfortable. His conversation was thoughtful and engaging, and we truly enjoyed learning so much history from him along the way. Jason was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. What stood out most was how patient and attentive he was. Whether it was helping us search for the perfect seaglass pieces or making sure we were comfortable on our kayaks, Jason was the perfect guide. He even took photos of us while we kayaked, capturing the moment beautifully so we can remember it forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jason’s warmth, knowledge, and genuine hospitality made our tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and meaningful adventure!

Kayaking to Sea Glass Beach
This was such a fun experience! We got to go to different parts of sea glass beach and learned lots of fun facts on the way! Our only thing we wish happened was that we got fruit like it had said on the website but we got water. Other than that, we had an amazing experience with Edgar and Rambo! Highly recommend both!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review Kellie, I checked after your review and indeed the team forgot to bring the apples to your tour. This is not acceptable and I personally spoke to the team. However to five 4 start even you enjoy the tour itself so much I think is not fair as this affect enormously a small company as us. Thanks for your feedback anyways.

Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oranjestad.
How much does Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oranjestad usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oranjestad is not rushed.
Is Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oranjestad, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oranjestad can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oranjestad and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oranjestad within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oranjestad?
+
On Outty we rank every Oranjestad experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Aruba Natural Pool and Indian Cave Rugged Jeep Safari, Island Jeep Safari with Natural Pool Baby Beach and Lunch, Aruba UTV Adventure: Animal Garden, North Coast & Andicuri Beach. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oranjestad?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oranjestad?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer?
+
Included: Water; All Fees and Taxes; and Ocean kayak with paddles. Not included: Towels for after the tour; Tips to the Team; and Transportation is Optional. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 69 listed pickup locations in and around Oranjestad. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Sea Glass Island Kayak Morning + Transfer?
