Setting Sail with Ericko

The sun was just beginning to rise over the horizon as I made my way to the meeting point in Savaneta. The air was crisp, and the ocean shimmered with the promise of a new adventure. I had heard whispers of Sea Glass Island, a hidden gem off the coast of Aruba, and I was eager to see it for myself. As a former professional surfer, the ocean has always been my playground, and the idea of exploring it in a kayak was too tempting to resist.

Ericko, our guide, greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that set the tone for the day. He was everything I had hoped for in a guide—knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Aruba. After a quick safety briefing, we were off, paddling through the crystal-clear waters with the sun on our backs and the wind in our hair.

Discovering Sea Glass Treasures

As we approached Sea Glass Island, the anticipation was palpable. The island was a kaleidoscope of colors, with pieces of sea glass glinting in the sunlight like hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Ericko’s display board was a treasure trove of information, showcasing the different types of sea glass and their histories. It was fascinating to learn about the origins of each piece and the stories they held.

I spent the morning combing the beach with a fellow adventurer, both of us on a mission to find a sea glass marble. Though we didn’t find one that day, Ericko’s generosity shone through when he gifted us a marble from his own collection. It was a gesture that spoke volumes about his character and made the experience all the more memorable.

A Day to Remember

Time seemed to slip away as we explored the island, each discovery more exciting than the last. Ericko was always nearby, ready to answer questions or point us in the right direction. His passion for the island was contagious, and it was clear that he loved what he did.

As the day drew to a close, I found myself reluctant to leave. The experience had been everything I had hoped for and more—a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery. I promised myself that I would return, perhaps with a picnic in tow, to spend more time soaking in the beauty of Sea Glass Island.

For anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable adventure in Aruba, I can’t recommend Sea Glass Island Kayak enough. It’s a journey that will leave you with memories to cherish and a deeper appreciation for the ocean’s hidden treasures.
