    What To Expect

    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.

    So many water activities to do and love that the food and drinks were all inclusive. Just make sure to break water shoes because the beach has a lot of rocks. Outside of that, highly recommend this activity.

    Unlimited drinks!
    Stephanie_H, Apr 2024
    This was fun relaxing and amazing all in one. The banana boat ride is a MUST! Staff was amazing food was good the beach is beautiful. This is a perfect day activity.
    Horrible experience
    Chinita_T, Apr 2024
    Very poor communication. I ended up having to pay $35 for a taxi to De Palm Island because they never arrived to my pickup location, the support team continuously lied stating the bus was late, they never arrived. You’re better off booking through directly through De Palm Islands instead of wasting your time with this tour guide.
    Fun
    Janesia_S, Apr 2024
    Adding on the sea trek made this experience fun! The food was edible. No long wait lines, staff was nice, and family friendly environment.
    Boring and expensive
    SHOMANSUR_S, Apr 2024
    It extremely expensive to what it offers. Only food, snorkeling, banana boat and 2, slides they have included in the price, everything else is extra. I traveled with my son, didn't see purpose of alcoholic drinks being included. Better offer something interesting for kids, and charge for alcohol extra. Mostly boring after 2 hours, since Island is very small and only 3 lame activities included in price.
    Better than we expected!
    ELIZABETH_J, Apr 2024
    Even though it was a sold out day, it never felt too crowded. Never waited more than a few minutes for food(which was really good) or drinks. We were worried about missing the Flamingoes since that was on my granddaughter’s bucket list and the private cabanas and bungalows were booked, but they were easily accessible and inches away. We didn’t expect it to be the highlight of our trip but the adults loved it as well. Only small complaint would be to wear water shoes. The pictures show a sandy beach but it was quite rocky and hard to walk on. Definitely worth the money for us.
    The experience was good.
    Chanda_E, Mar 2024
    The best part of the Island all-inclusive day trip for me was the snorkeling. The kids really enjoyed the banana boat and snorkeling. The buffet was good. The lest favorite as the beach. Entry into the water at the beach is too rocky (filled with rocks) for me.
    Great time!
    Amanda_R, Mar 2024
    Drinks are good and never stop! Food is good as well. Waterslides are ok nothing special. Snorkeling was fun! Lots of pretty fish!!
    Need more info when booking

    Amazing De Palm Island
    Kedar_B, Mar 2024
    We had an amazing time in the slides, snorkeling, and The flamingo experience. The banana boat ride was an entirely different experience and was really fast and fun.
    Awesome

    A Flamingo-Filled Adventure: My Unforgettable Experience at De Palm Island in Aruba
    Jose_B, Mar 2024
    My experience at De Palm Island was nothing short of amazing! The highlight for me was definitely seeing flamingos for the first time. It was a surreal moment that I'll never forget. The water slides and banana boat rides were an absolute blast! I had so much fun splashing around in the crystal-clear waters. And let's not forget about the "all-you-can-eat" buffet – the food was delicious and satisfying after a day of activities. What really stood out to me was how friendly everyone was. From the staff to fellow visitors, there was a sense of camaraderie that made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I had a fantastic time at De Palm Island and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Aruba.
    Family fun day trip
    rachel_e, Mar 2024
    Plenty of things to do to fill your whole day. Food was excellent. Drinks were great. Snorkeling was a little difficult to get into and out of the water but once you got away from the stairs, it was great! Flamingos were cool! Slides and kiddie area were fantastic! Kiddie pool was a little deep for us (15 month old twins).
    The worst experience besides the banana boat and beautiful island
    Takerra_H, Feb 2024
    It was supposed to come with bus transportation, we never got on the bus it was always full we had to take a taxi to and from there. $60 each ride($120 total) de palm island is $141 and that includes nothing but water down drinks and nasty food. We got bamboozle into paying to see the flamingos but not on flamingo island more like flamingo pool($63 for 30 minutes!!!) the banana boat was free and fun but it broke down on us!! I paid $30 for 1 towel! Some of the workers were extremely rude 0/10!!!
    Thrilling Fun and Delicious Bites
    Krystal_K, Feb 2024
    Had an incredible time with De Palm Tours! The atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and the food was delicious. The drinks could have been a bit stronger, but still enjoyable. Activities were a blast, but be warned – the banana boat ride is not for the faint of heart, and the beach has some rocky spots. Overall, a great experience!
    Highly recommend getting...
    Kristin_B, Jan 2024
    Highly recommend getting a cabana or premium seating so you can sit with the flamingos. This place is cool too because everything‘s all inclusive as well with your ticket you can snorkel have a banana boat ride go down the waterslides, see the flamingos, and for extra cost you can snuba!
    Don’t come for the food, come for the fun and drinks
    Mrton_N, Jan 2024
    Since our accommodation was the first in the pick-up route we drove around for an hour. That’s compensated by the fact that you are allowed to enter the island before walk-ins. The ferry to the island is fun, they play pump up music. Then you ate faced with the facts that despite 130€ base price you’d need to cough up another 55 USD to enter the area where flamingos are free roaming (called premium area). Bummer. The banana ride is meh… you’ve done it once you’ve done ‘em all. Expect a 30 minute wait to board the banana which is a lot if you take i to account that you get to spend around 5 to 5 and a half hours on the island. The mamacita cocktails were fun and got to your head quickly if you didn’t watch out. Food was terrible, I had to go and relieve myself after and I don’t have a sensitive stomach… all in all if you like daydrinking and don’t mind the queues you’ll be fine. The time is not enough to do everything and relax at the same time. Avoid the buffet. Don’t expect a lot if bang for your buck, only do it if you have plenty of time on Aruba.
    Awesome
