Sea Glass Island Kayak Tour
Paddle to a hidden shore that glitters with ocean-polished glass, then swim and hunt for your souvenir.
✦Your guide, kayak and life jacket, water and fresh fruit.
A guided kayak journey from the Savaneta boat ramp to a hidden shore that glitters with ocean-polished glass, led by our local guides. Morning, afternoon, or sunset.
Some souvenirs you buy.
The best ones, you paddle to.
We meet at the Sea Glass Island ramp, right beside the Flying Fishbone in Savaneta. Your guide checks your paddle grip and pushes you off. First light, full sun, or golden hour, the water here stays calm.
A short, easy paddle straight off the Savaneta coast, with pelicans diving around you and the island growing bigger with every stroke. Five to ten minutes of calm Caribbean is all it takes.
Then the trees open, and the beach ahead sparkles in greens, aquas, and whites, with decades of ocean-tumbled glass under your feet. Welcome to Sea Glass Island. Time to explore.
Every piece of sea glass began as something ordinary, a bottle or a jar, and spent decades being tumbled, frosted, and softened by the Caribbean. Here's what you might find on the shore.
The classic, born from old soda and beer bottles, frosted into soft emerald shards.
Mid-century glassware frosted to the exact color of the water you paddled through.
From old medicine and apothecary bottles: deep blue, rare, and worth the hunt.
Once clear glass, now moon-white and soft as a beach pebble. Smooth as anything.
Take the memory, leave the shore beautiful. Your guide will show you the best spots and how to hunt for sea glass responsibly.
Real photos from real tours: the water, the glass, and the people who found it.
Both trips are small-group, beginner-friendly, and led by our local guides.

“Knowledgeable, friendly, and obviously loves Aruba.” · Sean G · TripAdvisor, about Rambo
Rambo is the founder, a veteran Aruban ranger with decades on the south coast. He leads the weekend departures, and the way he reads the water, the wildlife, and the stories of this shore is how he taught every guide on the crew.
Joshua, Morela and Luis guide our departures, and one of the crew will meet you at the ramp.
"Not just a tour, but a connection to the island."
Your guides have led hundreds of paddlers to Sea Glass Island and across the Spanish Lagoon. Here's what guests say after a morning on the water with them.
Rambo and Morela made this tour absolutely enjoyable! They were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable.
Knowledgeable, friendly, and obviously loves Aruba.
Luis was awesome. He made it a fun time for everyone. Luis is the BEST.
Reviews collected from TripAdvisor & Viator listings of tours guided by our crew.
The lagoons and mangroves along Savaneta and Mangel Halto are full of life, and your guide knows where to look.
Diving for breakfast right beside your kayak.
Standing statue-still in the mangrove shallows.
Flickering through the roots, the mangrove nursery at work.
Sunbathing on the rocks like they own the island. They kind of do.
Rambo is a veteran ranger, and that knowledge shapes every tour we run: the wildlife, the plants, and the stories most visitors never hear.
The lagoons along Savaneta and Mangel Halto are sheltered and beginner-friendly. No experience needed, just bring sunscreen and a sense of adventure.
Wander a shoreline sparkling with ocean-tumbled glass and take home a one-of-a-kind souvenir, polished by the Caribbean itself.
