What you'll do

De Palm Island is Aruba's own private coral island, a short ferry hop from Port de Palm and the simplest all-in day on the island. Admission covers the ferry, round trip transport from most major hotels, unlimited food and drinks with a lunch buffet and grill station, snorkel gear with a guided snorkel tour, unlimited banana boat rides for ages 10 and up, the drop slides and kids water park, salsa lessons, and a beach bed or palapa on a first come basis. The helmet dives (Sea Trek and Snuba) and the cabanas are paid upgrades bought on the island on the day, not part of admission. The island also keeps a flock of Chilean and Cuban flamingos in a reserved section, and the standard entry ticket is a view from a distance; being among the birds means adding one of the paid premium areas (VIP Palapa, Premium Seating, Private Cabana or Beach Cabana) on top of admission. Operator terms and the partner listing checked September 12, 2026.

Why it's on the Playbook

De Palm Island is the simplest all-in day in Aruba: the ferry, transport from most major hotels, unlimited food and drinks, the slides, the kids water park and a guided snorkel tour all sit inside one ticket. Two things are worth knowing before you go. The helmet dives (Sea Trek and Snuba) and the cabanas are paid upgrades bought on the island, the standard ticket sees the flamingos from a distance while being among them needs a paid premium area, and the beach is naturally rocky, so water shoes earn their space in the bag.

Pro tip

Take one of the first ferries if you want a beach bed before they go, and pack water shoes, because the beach here is naturally rocky. If you fancy the helmet walk, you book and pay for it on the island on the day, on top of your ticket.

Book this if

  • You want unlimited food and drinks with no extra bill
  • You want water slides and a full water park day
  • You want the transport and the ferry handled from your hotel
  • You want a beach day where the essentials sit in one ticket

Skip this if

  • You want soft sand, this beach is rocky and water shoes help
  • You are arriving by cruise ship, this option is not sold to cruise arrivals
  • You want to be right beside the flamingos: here that means paying for a premium area, and the up-close beach day is Renaissance Island the Renaissance Island (Flamingo Beach) fits better
