Your De Palm Island Passport to Paradise, Aruba kicks off with hotel pickup and transportation via a comfortable motorcoach. Experience the joy of ultimate relaxation and choose from a variety of activities. Chill out on the sandy shores of this remote island and experience the best of Aruba during this day excursion. 

Travelers can choose to upgrade to a SNUBA package. This hybrid of snorkeling and SCUBA allows you to breathe easily underwater without wearing heavy gear. Plus, no certification or previous experience is required. A private guided tour permits underwater explorers as young as 8 years old to safely descend to a depth of 20 feet with the aid of a SNUBA instructor exclusively available with De Palm Water sports (one hour, including instruction).

I did not ride the bus. I stayed with friends who rented a car and we drove to the De Palm Island dock. It was an easy process getting to and from the Island. We wanted a cabana but didn't know we had to reserve it ahead of time. We still enjoyed our time. Good food and fun in the sun!

Not for couples. Best fit for family with kids because of all inclusive. Food mediocre, watered down drinks and staff not very helpful. We stayed for one hour and left.

Highlight of our honeymoon!
Christopher_C

DePalm island was a highlight of my wife and I's honeymoon in Aruba. It was a fantastic combination of relaxation and adventure. The body slides are exhilarating, the banana boat is awesome, and the snorkeling is great! I would highly recommend the premium/priority seating. Definitely worth the extra money... Luxurious fabric chairs, extended time and exposure to the flamingoes, and a private beach and bar. Overall, one of the best days of our trip!!

Great experience, but much costlier than anticipated
Melissa_O
, Oct 2021
The bus was on time and Jorge our bus driver was really fun, but I’m giving this experience 3 stars because in reality you have to pay an additional $65 to be in the area where the flamingos are and this tour is already pretty pricey as is. I also wasn’t a huge fan of the food options, but the servers were friendly and everyone working there was really helpful and nice.
