Additional Information

Explore Aruba’s underwater world after dark as you head out in glass-bottom kayaks with an experienced guide. Make it out onto the water in time for sunset, and then use LED floodlights to illuminate the dark water, filled with vibrant coral reefs and neon-hued fish.

Join your us at Arashi Beach and spend a few moments going over safety basics and learning how to paddle your kayak effectively. Watch the sun dip below the horizon, filling the sky with shades of gold and orange, and then flick on your boat’s LED lights to see Aruba’s rich marine life beneath you.

Glide over vibrant beds of coral, look for blue parrot fish darting in and out of rocky hideouts, and follow your guide to a shallow shipwreck to see how nature has claimed it as a new reef. Wait for the stars to come out to enjoy a spectacular view of the night sky, and then head back to shore to return your gear and end your night on the water.

Highly Recommend - Lovely evening kayak on the ocean. I have kayaking experience but my friend does not, but it was perfect fro the two of us. It was just us and the tour guides which was an extra bonus. They told us lots of stories and facts about the area.

Fun evening activity! - We got to kayak past many popular beaches, beautiful local homes and saw many fish. Our guide JD was friendly and had a lot of knowledge of the Aruba island. I only wish we had remembered to bring bread or crackers to bring more fish to us

JD was awesome!! - JD from Clear Kayak was AWESOME on our Honeymoon Night-time Kayak Tour! I had no problem keeping up with him but he still took the time to show us all of cool sights and move a comfortable pace, nevermind the amazing photos he took of us along the way! The sunset during the kayaking was also beautiful. The kayaking was fun but JD was what made the trip unforgettable! I highly recommend Clear Kayak and especially JD!!

RAINY ADVENTURE - We had a great time. We were unable to make our original date due to my husband not feeling well. The tour was gracious and allowed us to reschedule which we were very greatful.The sky was cloudy but the scene was beatiful. We were cuaght in the rain but we had a great guide who was a very friendly young man and made our first kayaking trip very memorable. We wish the best to Lee and J.D who were great host. Hopefully we may run into each other again. Thanks again for a great time.

Beautiful sunset kayak - Fabulous evening on the kayaks. The tour guides were very friendly and interactive and made our whole experience fun. The “glass bottom” is plastic and not very see through, so don’t expect much there. But the entire time was super fun. Kayaking during sunset was super memorable. They have dry boxes for your phones, and they also take pictures of you the whole time and send them to your email later. And then the light up bottom on the way back was the coolest part. The sea floor gets lit up by the lights they put in your kayak and you can see all sorts of coral, fish, and we even saw a turtle! Definitely recommend this exertion to anyway staying in Aruba. Side note, if you are using public transportation make sure you take an early bus to Arashi beach, then we taxied back.

Beautiful sunset! - It was great being on the ocean and getting a different perspective. We were not able to see a lot of fish, but none the less, enjoyed the experience!

Kayak for two - Our tour guides did an awesome job. Due to the weather and water conditions our time was a little bit shorter. The sunset was awesome to watch. Unfortunately we couldn’t see anything of the marine life.

High waves; impacts route - The waves were strong so the direction was to paddle closer to shore. The waves made it hard to hear anything the leaders has to say, and it was a bit disorganized when getting kayakers ready. No real direction given for destination.

Save your money - Our night glass kayak tour was not as described. We arrived 5-10 min late due to the location in the app not being the correct location (not our fault). Upon arrival, we were told that there was another party that was scheduled and they hadn't arrived yet. After waiting a while, they decided we could go ahead without the other party. The guides were friendly. We started kayaking out along the shore and after a while, my son, who was in a kayak with one of the guides needed to go to shore due to their kayak having a hole and taking on water. The guide said he was aware of this hole but it would be ok. The other 4 of us sat in the water while they tried to plug up the hole. Not very safe. After they got the hole fixed, they provided a square light and told us we were headed back. There was no explanation of what to do with the light or where we should be trying to see fish. Our tour was very disappointing and was not the description or duration listed for the tour. I did request a partial refund (50% refund) since our experience did not match the description of the tour, plus they put my son in a kayak with a hole!! and the refund was denied. TripAdvisor's response from the business was 'As per the tour operator that you arrived at 6:00 and was not yet ready to do the tour that's why it departed 6:30. They mentioned that the tour can not stay too late on the water because of the security.' I responded back to TripAdvisor 'That is a lie. The GPS spot, through the trip advisor app did not take us to the correct location. We were 5-10 mins late AT MOST and they weren't ready to go out and were still waiting on another party. Also, the listing says it is 2 hours, it was not 2 hours even though we arrived a few mins late. Regardless, the kayaks were not safe, and us kayaking down and back with no direction about seeing fish at night with lights does not match the description.' TripAdvisor basically responded back they reviewed the information and no refund. Very disappointed with TripAdvisor as well.

Not what promised - We went last friday. They "took pictures" and said would email them to us next morning. We have not recieved. I even emailed requesting, not even a response. Scenery was beautiful. Kayak's bottom was all scratched up and unable to see anything through it though.
