Vale's Rambo Adventures · Savaneta, Aruba

Recommended by your hosts at Ocean Hill Properties

Two and a half hours on Aruba's quiet south coast.

A piece of glass, in your hand.

The quiet coast

Out along the quiet shore

You launch from the Savaneta ramp and paddle out along the calm shoreline, past old dock pilings. The coastline breaks the swell before it reaches you, so the water stays flat and clear.

The shore

A shore that is mostly glass

Cobalt, green, amber, milky white. Mid-century bottles and glassware the sea has been rounding off for decades, rolled smooth and dropped back on the sand.

The colour depends on what the sea has been grinding, and for how long.

Someone already lives there.

The other route

Or take the reef instead

Same price, same time on the water. Snorkel gear is included, and your guide is in the water beside you.

Quiet water

The Spanish Lagoon

The mangrove channels behind the coast, where the water goes flat and green and the birds get loud. This is the way in to the reef, and the calmest paddling on the island.

  • About 2.5 hours on the water
  • Same price as the Sea Glass Island route
  • No kayak experience needed

Rambo telling island stories to two guests on Sea Glass Island Who takes you out

A crew that grew up on this coast

Founded by a veteran Aruban ranger with decades on Aruba's south coast, and every guide on the crew learned this water from him. They read the wind and the tide on the morning, then pick the line for that hour.

The south coast is quieter than the postcard. That is the whole point of it.
