    The perfect little island trip

    We had an amazing time visiting glass island, we were pretty lucky to be the only two on the tour and we ended up the only ones on the island. It was so peaceful and beautiful, its was just what we needed. The time went by so fast, I could have spent the whole day out there. Our tour guide Lucien was fantastic, he was very informative, helpful, and has a great personality, he made the tour fun. I will definitely be doing this tour again when I come back.

    Lots of seaglass, pricey kayak rental.

    Sea glass is plentiful. Guide was friendly and informative. It is a short kayak to the island and you basically are paying to rent the kayak so it's a bit pricey in my opinion. The only major disappointment was that the clear bottom kayaks are not so clear anymore.

    Sea glass

    It was okay. Not sure i would recommend this excursion to anyone who was along to go. The guide was incredibly friendly, but the experience as a whole was not worth the money.

    10/10 experience

    What a wonderful experience. It’s a beautiful way to spend the morning. Our driver who picked us up and our tour guide, Lucien, were both phenomenal. My dad was having a bad day with his hips and my sister unexpectedly fractured her knee and both were unable kayak. They had planned to just relax until we got back, but Lucien immediately offered to bring them to the island on a boat so they could still join. He went above and beyond to help my sister, lifting her as needed in and out of the boat as needed. The island itself was gorgeous and there was so much sea glass to explore and find. Really recommend this tour.

    Amazing!

    It was absolutely amazing! Everyone was super friendly. Everything was safe and they explained everything that was gonna happen. There’s so much Seaglass you can kayak, but if you’re not comfortable with that, they have a boat to take you to the island. I highly recommend this me and my husband had a great time or on our honeymoon and we would do it again if we were back here again everyone was super friendly and amazing. We got travel there and travel back two hours. There is absolutely perfect the sun and the water. I recommend it all!

    Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oranjestad.

    How much does Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 224 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure?

    +

    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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure?

    +

    Around 78 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure 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 2-Seater UTV Tour Adventure. 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure?

    +

    Included: Dry Bag for Personal Items; Clear Kayak & Paddle; Fresh Water; Life Jacket; and Experienced Kayak Guide. Not included: Swimsuit & quick-dry clothing; Water shoes are highly recommended for walking on the island; Sunglasses & hat; and Reef-safe sunscreen. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 18 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, English, Dutch 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 Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Sea Glass Island and Clear Kayak Adventure if the weather is bad?

    +
