    Exploring Sea Glass Island's Treasures

    Spend two hours exploring the island's treasures, collecting colorful sea glass, and soaking in the beauty. Sea Glass Island is a tiny, uninhabited island covered in colorful sea glass that has been worn smooth by years of ocean waves. The sea glass creates a sparkling, multicolored carpet along the shore, making it a unique destination unlike any other beach in Aruba.

    The glass comes from decades of ocean currents washing over discarded bottles and ceramics, transforming them into smooth, colorful treasures. The process of creating sea glass takes years, with the ocean's waves and currents gradually smoothing and polishing the glass into beautiful, colorful pieces. The result is a unique beach covered in colorful sea glass in various shades of blue, green, white, and other colors.

    Collecting Colorful Sea Glass

    Collecting colorful sea glass is one of the highlights of this tour. The island's shore is covered in sea glass of various colors and sizes, providing endless opportunities to find beautiful pieces. Many visitors enjoy collecting sea glass as souvenirs, while others prefer to leave it for others to discover. Either way, the experience of exploring the island and discovering colorful sea glass is truly unique and memorable.

    Stay Refreshed with Complimentary Powerade and Water

    Stay refreshed with complimentary Powerade and water. The tour includes complimentary Powerade and water to keep you hydrated throughout your adventure. The refreshments ensure you stay comfortable and energized as you explore the island and collect sea glass.

    Safety Briefing Before Kayaking

The briefing covers kayaking techniques, safety procedures, and what to expect at Sea Glass Island, ensuring you have a safe, enjoyable experience.

    Water Shoes Required for Exploring the Island
