Easy. Most of the day is relaxed beach and water time. Snorkeling and the slides need basic swimming ability and comfort in shallow water.
The experience

De Palm Island Day Pass

Spend an all-inclusive day on De Palm Island, a private island off Aruba's southwest coast with snorkeling, water slides, a zip line, food, drinks, and colourful blue parrotfish in the shallows.

De Palm Island is Aruba's private all-inclusive day island, a short ferry hop from a dock on the island's southwest coast. One ticket covers the boat, the food, the drinks, and a long list of activities, which makes it an easy, hassle-free plan for families and groups who want everything sorted in advance.

The water is the star. The island's calm, protected shallows are famous for snorkeling with electric-blue parrotfish that come in close, and the included gear means you can be in the water within minutes of arriving. On land and around the shore there are water slides, a zip line, a kids' splash zone, and beach loungers, with optional add-ons such as Sea Trek helmet diving and a banana-boat ride. Buffet meals and open bars run through the day.

Aruba's steady warmth at around 28C and its position outside the hurricane belt keep the island open and pleasant year-round. It is a self-contained day out, so once you are there you can relax without thinking about logistics.

What the day pass includes

  • Round-trip ferry from the De Palm dock, snorkel gear, and access to the reef shallows.
  • Water slides, a zip line, a kids' splash park, and beach loungers.
  • Buffet lunch and open bars through the day.
  • An easy outing from Oranjestad that pairs well with a stay near Eagle Beach.
