Why Mangel Halto Is Aruba’s Natural Treasure

The location of our kayak and snorkeling tour, Mangel Halto, is one of Aruba’s true hidden gems. Situated in the quiet town of Savaneta, this protected coastal lagoon is framed by dense mangroves, offering a serene environment for wildlife and paddlers alike.

Why Mangel Halto Is Perfect for Kayak & Snorkel Tours:
  • Calm, shallow waters ideal for beginners
  • Diverse marine life from corals to crustaceans
  • Safe and scenic mangrove routes
  • Fewer crowds than high-traffic beaches

Mangel Halto combines accessibility, beauty, and biodiversity, making it one of Aruba’s most rewarding spots for eco-touring.

Paddle for a Purpose: Supporting Eco-Tourism in Aruba

As a company built on sustainability, we believe that how we tour matters just as much as where. Aruba’s coral reefs, mangroves, and wetlands are under increasing pressure from development and mass tourism.

Here’s how our tours help protect them:

  • We use non-motorized kayaks—no noise, no emissions
  • We educate guests on reef-safe sunscreen and marine health
  • We limit group sizes for minimal environmental impact
  • We partner with local initiatives to support marine conservation

     

By joining us, you’re not only enjoying Aruba—you’re helping preserve it.
