We had an absolutely amazing experience kayaking with One Happy Kayak. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations, especially considering we showed up last minute with no reservation. A huge shoutout to Erico, who truly made the entire experience unforgettable. Despite us not booking ahead, he went out of his way to accommodate us without hesitation and made us feel welcome right away. His attitude was incredibly friendly, professional, and relaxed, which set the tone for a perfect tour. Erico was not only knowledgeable about the area but also genuinely passionate about sea glass island. As a double amputee he made sure we felt comfortable the entire time, and never made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience for booking popping up last minute. The scenery was beautiful, the pace was perfect, and Erico’s hospitality took the whole experience to another level. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better last-minute adventure. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Aruba!

The kayak trip to sea glass island was amazing! The kayak portion is quite fast, and even on a day with rough waters, we got to the other side with ease. Tour guides Alex and Ericko were fantastic! My kids ages 13 and 15 loved it, as well. Tips: wear water shoes with sturdy soles, bring a hat, and expect to get a little wet.

A Really fun unusual experience in Aruba! Our guide, Ericko was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the short trip over to the island super easy. The kayaking was fun and not difficult at all. I couldn't believe how much glass there was to dig through. We found everything from emerald greens and rare blues to cool shaped pieces. It's wonderful to have an authentic, eco-friendly souvenir to take home, especially since you can't take shells. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island!"

And you're absolutely right: taking home sea glass is a wonderful, eco-friendly souvenir and a special reminder of your time in Aruba. 💎 Thank you so much for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another treasure hunt the next time you're in Aruba! Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 🌴💙
For those who enjoy finding sea glass this is for you. Amazing amounts of sea glass on this island just a short kayak trip (literally under 5 mins) from Aruba mainland. Our guide Alex was great and we spent a couple of hours collecting all sorts for cool sea glass specimens to add to our collection at home. Recommend!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Michael! We're thrilled you enjoyed your time on Sea Glass Island and were able to add so many unique pieces to your collection!

It was really nice experience. My son and I did the tour. We had fun trying to find the hardest colors of sea glass . Our tour guide was the best. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

We are a family of 5 ages 17/15/11 and we have a great time visiting glass island . Ericko was a great guide. He showed us different areas to search and what things to look for. He had cold drinks and rakes for us to use. Definitely recommend this!!

We're so happy you all enjoyed the experience and had fun searching for treasures together! 💎🛶 We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back to Aruba again someday! Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 🌴
Wonderful experience. Guide was very responsive with communication beforehand and incredibly friendly during experience. Kayaking across to island was short and manageable even for those who do not kayak on a regular basis. Surprised just how much sea glass was there. Loved sorting through to find more rare colors. Wonderful to have an authentic souvenir- especially since sand and shells are a non no to bring home. Would definitely do again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Kristin! 😊 We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed both the adventure and the treasure hunt! One of our favorite things is seeing guests realize just how much sea glass is waiting to be discovered on the island. We're also glad you mentioned the short kayak crossing — we love showing people that you don't need to be an experienced kayaker to enjoy this unique experience. And we couldn't agree more: taking home a beautiful piece of sea glass is such a special and authentic Aruba souvenir. 🌴 Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We'd absolutely love to welcome you back for another treasure hunt someday! Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 🛶
Ericko and Alex are fantastic guides they are very knowledgeable of Sea Glass Island and its history. My family has always enjoyed hunting sea glass at every beach we go, and the was the most epic hunt. My daughters, aged 23,20, 15 and 12 did not want to leave. And either did my wife and myself. Highly recommend One Happy Kayak 5 starts all around.

It was such a pleasure sharing the island's history and treasures with your family, and hearing that your daughters didn't want to leave is one of the best compliments we could receive 😄💎 Thank you for your kind words, your recommendation, and for choosing One Happy Kayak to be part of your Aruba memories. We can't wait to welcome you all back for another epic treasure hunt! 🌴🛶 Warm regards, Ericko and Team One Happy Kayak 💙✨
