An Island Adventure That Starts with a Paddle

At Aruba Wave Dancer, we craft each tour around discovery—and nothing captures that spirit better than our Sea Glass Island Kayak Tours. Launching from the quiet coastal waters of Savaneta, you’ll paddle across Commandeurs Bay to a one-of-a-kind destination: Sea Glass Island, a reef site turned treasure trove.

From sunrise to sunset, we offer three unique versions of this adventure:

Each offers the same peaceful paddle to Sea Glass Island—just with different lighting, atmosphere, and optional snorkeling.

What to Expect: From Shore to Sea Glass

All tours begin just steps away from the popular Flying Fishbone restaurant in Savaneta. After a quick safety briefing and kayak fitting, you’ll glide across calm waters for 10–15 minutes before reaching your destination: a reef site blanketed in ocean-tumbled glass, colorful ceramics, and marbles.

Included with your tour:

  • Sit-on-top ocean kayak
  • Bottled water & fruit
  • Life jacket & paddle
  • Friendly, certified guide
  • Optional snorkeling gear (sunset tour)

Duration: ~2 hours on water (3.5 hours incl. transport)
Skill level: Beginner to intermediate (calm waters, short paddle)

Review Highlight: “Sea glass heaven!”

“If you’re a sea glass lover this is a dream! So much sea glass I’ve ever seen. Quick little kayak ride nothing too crazy but the hunt is where it’s at! Highly recommend”

Discovering Sea Glass Island: Aruba’s Ocean-Born Museum

Sea Glass Island may not appear on every tourist map—but it’s one of the most special places you can reach by kayak. Once used as a disposal site over 50 years ago, the reef has been reclaimed by the sea and transformed into a living collection of sea glass and ceramic artifacts.

Each wave-polished piece tells a story, and because sea glass is not a protected natural resource in Aruba, guests may take a few favorite finds home as souvenirs—unlike shells or coral, which must stay in the wild.

The island is small, walkable, and feels completely remote. A perfect setting for photos, meditation, or learning about Aruba’s coastal evolution.

Why Eco-Conscious Kayaking Matters in Aruba

Aruba is known for its luxury, but its real treasures lie in its ecosystems—and these must be protected. At Aruba Wave Dancer, we’ve built every experience around sustainable practices that protect marine life and minimize environmental impact.

Our Eco Principles:

  • No engines, no noise, no pollution
  • Required use of reef-safe sunscreen
  • Leave-no-trace ethic (guests clean up trash found on the island)
  • Guests may collect human-made glass but never natural items like coral or shells
  • Educational moments on marine health and Aruba’s environmental challenges

Choosing an eco kayak tour isn’t just a fun activity—it’s a vote for the future of Aruba.

Gear Checklist: What to Bring With You
  • Reef-safe sunscreen
  • Quick-dry clothing or swimwear
  • Sunglasses and sun hat
  • Water shoes or sandals with straps
  • Towel and dry clothes (required with transport)
  • Waterproof phone case or camera (optional)

We provide everything else you need for a safe and comfortable journey.
