★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 77 reviews · from $80

Meet the Crystal Clear Kayak Aruba team at J.E. Irausquin Blvd 77 for a short, private-style water photoshoot. You’ll receive safety guidance, pose help, drone images, raw shots, a social-media video, water, music, and an alcoholic drink. Lucién is praised for making nervous guests feel at ease.

“The experience as a whole is great. They give you clear instructions on how to pose and the pictures came out great. However two things: the drone guy was over 1/2 hr late and they sent my pictures to someone else in my party. Not a big deal but if it was a total stranger that would have been weird. Overall I would recommend them. I had a good time.”
