Activities Aruba
Sure, Aruba isn't big, but its 181 square miles are filled with more fun and merriment than any other Caribbean island. When you say Aruba, you think of the perfect weather and legendary beaches. Venture beyond the beach and discover much more. A sea full of life and shipwrecks. Pastel-colored streets full of shows, stores and vibrant nightlife. An authentic, inviting culture. There are several natural wonders, such as natural bridges and caves, to explore and countless ways to relax on the beautiful pearly white sand beaches. Yep, one Happy Island!
Transportation on Aruba
From the capital to the quiet coastal towns, from the immaculate beaches to the rugged desert, you'll get anywhere in Aruba in no time. The roads in Aruba are safe and modern. You can rent a car at the Koningin Beatrix International Airport and explore the whole island on your own or all the activities on Aruba. You can also simply take a cab, hop on public transport, or take a shuttle bus to and from hotels, resorts and attractions. The one happy island is 181 square miles, the perfect size for fun-filled adventures.
Nature on Aruba
The paradise island is blessed with plenty of nature and countless wonders that you won't find anywhere else but Aruba. Explore the quiet sandy beaches on the west coast and the jagged bays on the north coast. Climb the steps to the top of Hooiberg, Aruba's iconic hill formed by ancient volcanoes, or enjoy nature in Aruba's largest nature park, National Park Arikok. In Nationaal Park Arikok beautiful Caribbean white sand beaches merge with rugged desert land, towering green cacti and limestone cliffs, smoothed by waves and trade winds. In this vast Caribbean nature reserve you will find the Fountain Cave and the Natural Pool - two of Aruba's most pristine and unforgettable natural wonders during a complete island tour or check out the other activities on Aruba below!
TOGETHER FOR STRAY ANIMALS
Caribbean Tours is very committed to all stray animals that often have to live in harsh conditions on the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. We care deeply about their fate and would like to do something to prevent this animal suffering. For this reason, we have selected a charity on every island where we operate. We have selected a foundation on each island that is committed to preventing animal suffering among dogs and/or cats. If you book a tour with Caribbean Tours, you will be asked during checkout whether you want to make a small contribution. A contribution with which the Kitten Rescue Curacao Foundation on Curacao can continue to work to prevent animal suffering among the kittens and cats.
