Most travelers to Aruba flock to Eagle Beach or the bustling high-rise resorts. But if you’re seeking a quieter, more meaningful adventure, the Sea Glass Island Kayak Tour offers something rare: a blend of nature, history, and discovery—all from the comfort of a kayak.
This unique tour invites you to paddle across Commandeurs Bay to a tiny island brimming with sea-polished glass, marbles, and marine-tumbled ceramics. It’s one of those rare places where the journey is just as rewarding as the destination.
Everything is included—from sit-on-top ocean kayaks to water, fruit, and a knowledgeable local guide.
“Philip and his partner were great. Flexible on schedules. Helpful on the island itself, sometimes finding glass for me. Fun guys to be around. Philip called for a tax while we were kayaking back, so my wait for a taxi was short. Was amazed at all the sea glass, sometimes being several inches deep...”

Tucked away in Aruba’s Commandeurs Bay, Sea Glass Island tells a story of environmental transformation. Once used as a community dumping site more than 50 years ago, the island has since been reclaimed by the sea. What remains is a fascinating reef covered in polished glass, porcelain, and colorful marbles.
Since sea glass isn’t a protected natural resource in Aruba, guests are welcome to collect small pieces as souvenirs—something you won’t find on most nature-based tours.
Its short distance from shore and calm waters make it perfect for families, beginners, and experienced paddlers alike.
In a tourism-heavy island like Aruba, sustainability is more than just a trend—it’s essential. Eco tourism helps protect marine and land ecosystems while providing meaningful jobs and education.
By choosing this tour, you actively support a more conscious and sustainable travel model for Aruba.
There are many water tours in Aruba, but few combine history, sustainability, and pure adventure like the Sea Glass Island Kayak Tour. It’s a chance to unplug, reconnect with nature, and take home something more meaningful than a souvenir—an unforgettable experience.
Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a family with kids, or a solo traveler looking for something new, this tour is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Aruba off the beaten path.
