First time in Aruba...what should we do??

[mom22tinks]

Hi folks. This is my families very first time in Aruba. I have two girls 12 and 15. We will be in Aruba from 8-4.

 

We are also going to:

 

Grand Turk - snorkeling "the wall"

La Romana- dreams All inclusive

Curacoa - Irie tours

 

Based on what we have already planned - what would you suggest we do in Aruba? I wanted to book the trikes but they are too expensive. Any other not too miss things??

 

Thanks!

Have you read up on all the Aruba offers? A guidebook will help you plan your time ashore. Most things don't require an "excursion", so if you do your research, you can save some good money with a DIY day!!

Aruba- Gold Mine Ranch horseback riding be very nice and you get to see the coast line on the way there. A catamaran snorkeling tour or you can go on the ships tour Best of Aruba Island Tour. Have lunch nearby the ship pier at The West Deck.

Beaches in Aruba are public. Take the bus to any beach, plop your towel down on the sand and you have a low cost beach day for the price of bus fare. BE SURE to wear sunscreen and reapply frequently. The sun is STRONGER than you would imagine.

Take a DePalm off road jeep tour. They start around 8:30-9am and they will pick you up at the cruise dock. It lasts about 3.5 hours. Go to the Natural Pool instead of Baby Beach since you're snorkling on another island.
