Top Things TO DO in Aruba!

Exotic species, natural pools, and lush forests are just a few of the reasons to love Aruba. Climb the windswept steps to the peak of Hooiberg hill, Aruba’s iconic mountaintop forged by ancient volcanoes. In Arikok National Park, beautiful beaches give way to rugged deserts, towering green cacti, and limestone cliffs pounded smooth by waves and trade winds. It’s where you’ll find Fontein Caves and the Natural Pool – two of the island’s most unspoiled and unforgettable wonders.

Things TO DO While Visiting Aruba

Flamingo Beach

Flamingo Beach

Aruba is a magical place to visit, but there's one element of the island that is truly extraordinary. Flamingo Beach on Renaissance Island is home to an exotic flock of flamingos that roam the beach. These beautiful birds look picture-perfect, standing on one leg in the shallow blue waters of Aruba. Their extraordinarily pink feathers against the vibrant background of a tropical oasis make Flamingo Beach a must-visit spot when in Aruba.

Conchi Natural Pool

Conchi Natural Pool

Located on a remote part of the island is one of Aruba’s most beloved attractions. Far removed from the island’s well-known pristine beaches and accessible only by an all-terrain vehicle or on foot, the Conchi natural pool is worth the adventure! The remote pool is formed by a cluster of rocks and volcanic stones that protect it from the rough surf on the northeast coast of Aruba. Make the most of your vacation and discover all that Aruba has to offer!

Diving and Snorkeling

Diving and Snorkeling

Aruba is located in the southern Caribbean Sea, which is known for its rich variety and abundance of marine life. Famous for its diving and snorkeling locations, Aruba has excellent reefs and fantastic shipwrecks, perfect for any adventure seeker. This small island is also known as being the wreck diving capital of the Caribbean. The warm and clear ocean around Aruba is ideal for diving, snorkeling, and any other water sports!

Jolly Pirate Excursion

Jolly Pirate Excursion

Step back in time and travel the Caribbean like a pirate when you set sail on a Jolly Pirate excursion. Set on board an authentic schooner for a day-long adventure around Aruba. Walk the plank and dive right into crystal blue waters of the Caribbean when you set sail on the Jolly Pirate. Swimming, snorkeling with tropical fish, and getting up close with a shipwreck from World War II are all part of the experience. 

Caves

Caves

When you think of Aruba, you probably picture tropical beaches and lush forests filled with palm trees. What most people don't know is that parts of Aruba have a rocky coastline that forms deep caverns and natural pools that are great for exploring. The Guadirikiri Cave is famous for its two chambers, illuminated by the sunlight streaming through holes in the roof of the cave. The Fontein Cave is home to prehistoric pictographs from the Arawak Indians on the ceilings, providing visitors with a look into the history of the island.

Sunsets

Sunsets

In Aruba, as the sun goes down, the sky seems to light up. The sky is painted with bright hues of pink and gold. Let the sunset draw you in as the sun dips below the horizon of the Caribbean. Forget all of your stresses and worries and relax into the slow pace of the island life. Take a long walk on the beach or sip a cold drink at a local beach bar to experience the magnificent sunsets that make Aruba such a magical place.
