Vale's Rambo Adventures

Small-group kayak and snorkel tours on Aruba's quiet south coast. Family-run, launching daily from the boat ramp at Savaneta.

Vale's Rambo Adventures is a family-run kayak and snorkel outfit on Aruba's quiet south coast in Savaneta. We paddle small groups to Sea Glass Island, and over the reef and mangrove channels at Mangel Halto. Founded by Rambo, a veteran Aruban ranger. English, Spanish, Papiamento and Dutch.

Our signature trip is the crossing to Sea Glass Island, a low sandbar where decades of surf have tumbled old bottle glass smooth. It is a treasure hunt, and the island gives up something different every week. We paddle the sheltered south coast, calm water a long way in feeling from the high-rise hotel strip. Groups stay small, so a guide can watch the water properly and help a first-time paddler. Kayak, snorkel and sunset departures daily.

Three departures every day: 8:30 AM, 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. The Sea Glass Island Kayak Quest crosses shallow turquoise water to a low sandbar island where old glass has been tumbled smooth. The Mangel Halto trip pairs a paddle through the mangrove channels of Spanish Lagoon with snorkeling over the reef shelf, calm and clear enough for a first-time snorkeler. The sunset crossing runs the same sea glass route with the light going gold. Kayak, paddle, life jacket, water and fresh fruit are included, and snorkel gear on the reef tour. Guides speak English, Spanish, Papiamento and Dutch. Family-run and owner-operated, founded by Rambo, a veteran Aruban ranger.
