    You spend an hour on the island searching for sea glass. The reef also has mangroves.

  2. pass by
    2. Savaneta

    You paddle past Aruba Ocean Villas and other houses along Savaneta's coast without stopping.

The island stop takes 60 of the 150 minutes. You visit in the morning on the 8:30 a.m. run. The 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. departures put the island stop later in the day.

  • Transport: You arrange your own ride to the pier. The tour returns there. Hotel pickup and drop off aren't included.

From the desk

  • If you're asking how to get the $75 per adult rate, I'd count the adults aged 18 to 60 first. You need 5 to 15 adults in that age band on the booking.

Fit

Is this tour right for you?

Choose this if 5 to 15 adults aged 18 to 60 want the $75 per adult rate. You get an hour on Sea Glass Island during the 2.5 hour trip. The 3 daily departures give you morning or afternoon choices. Hotel pickup is excluded.

For more time ashore, One Happy Kayak gives you 2 hours on the island for $95 per adult. If you need pickup, Aruba Nature Adventures' day tour costs $135 per adult with transfer for 2 to 10 adults.

Means: I'd take the 8:30 a.m. tour if you can arrange your own ride to Savaneta.
