About this experience
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.
