Which one

Which kayak and Sea Glass Island tour is right for you

If you want time to search for sea glass, I'd take One Happy Kayak. You get 2 hours on the island. You pay $95 per adult for a trip capped at 8 people. It leaves at 8:30 a.m. daily, and you arrange your own ride to Savaneta.

For a group on a budget, look at Philip Tromp's Sea Glass Island tour. Adults aged 18 to 60 pay $80 each for 1 to 4 adults. From 5 to 15 adults it's $75 each. You choose from 3 daily departures and get an hour on the island. Get yourself to the pier beside Villa Rossana.

If at least 2 adults need pickup, I'd choose Aruba Nature Adventures. The adult rates on both tours apply when you book 2 to 10 adults. The day tour leaves at 8:30 a.m. or 1 p.m. It costs $105 per adult without transfer. The sunset tour leaves at 4:30 p.m. for $115 per adult without transfer. With transfer it's $135 per adult on either tour. Bring a towel: you need one to board the vehicle.

For a paddle after dark, I'd choose Clear Kayak Aruba's night tour. You look through the hull of a double kayak with LED lights. It costs $80 per adult when you book 2 to 6 adults. The tour leaves Arashi Beach at 6 p.m. on Wednesday and Friday. Skip it if you weigh over 200 lb or get seasick easily.
