Water Sports in Aruba
Aruba’s reliable northeast trade winds and calm west coast water create a rare combination: excellent conditions for wind-powered water sports on the east coast and calm, protected water for motorised sports and snorkelling on the west. The island has a world-class kitesurfing and windsurfing scene on the east coast that attracts professional athletes.
West Coast Water Sports
On the calm Palm Beach side: jet ski rentals available directly from the beach, parasailing providing aerial views of the resort strip, stand-up paddleboarding on calm water, and banana boat rides for groups. All available from operators stationed along the Palm Beach strip without advance booking needed.
East Coast Water Sports
Aruba’s east coast (particularly Boca Grandi and Aruba’s Kite Beach near Palm Beach) is world-renowned for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The consistent northeast trade winds blow 15 to 25 knots almost every day. Aruba Kite Beach (Hadicurari) is one of the world’s top kitesurfing destinations. Lessons available for beginners. Note: swimming on the east coast is dangerous — these sports only.
