Which one

Which water sport is right for you

For a first flight, I'd take Frank's Place: it flies every hour from 10 a.m. and costs $70 per person. Aruba Watersports Center charges $70 per person too and gives you 10 to 12 minutes in the air. Fun 4 Every 1 flies from De Palm Pier for $70 per person. Skyview costs $85 per person and leaves from the beach by the MooMba Beach Bar.

With kids, look at the ages first. The tube ride takes them from 4 and costs $30 per person. Fun 4 Every 1 flies them from 4 as well. Frank's Place and Skyview fly them from 5. At Aruba Watersports Center the child ticket starts at 7. The Seabob tours start at 12, and the flyboard at 18.

If you'd rather be in the water, take a Seabob. The reef tour is 1 hour for $97 per person. The Antilla tour is 2.5 hours for $120 per person and goes to the wreck. Both come with pickup from the hotel area or the port.

The flyboard is the highest price here, $150 per person for 30 minutes. Jet skis didn't make this list. Viator has 4 rentals for Aruba: 2 have the reviews but are rated under 4.5, and 2 have fewer than 30 reviews. They're below with their prices.
