kculater Posted February 8, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2022 This will be our first time to Aruba. We will be there for 9:00 am – 10:00 pm. We would like to do a tour and then go to the beach if possible. Can anyone recommend a private tour company or a company that does small group tours? Also, for the beach, can you go to Palm Beach on your own or is it better to do day pass at a hotel? If you recommend a day pass which hotel (nice hotel with pool, beach, food, chairs, umbrellas, and place to change etc.)? Are there any all-inclusive day passes available? Any information is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmneill Posted March 5, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'm kind of looking for the same options - what did you end up doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kculater Posted March 11, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi My cruise isn't until July. I still haven't found anything. If you find anything, please let me know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmneill Posted March 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2022 We are looking at this - https://www.aroundarubatours.com/aruba-tours/aruba-safari-jeep-tour/ You can customize as you want and have a beach included.. I did see this also - https://www.resortforaday.com/riu-palace-aruba/ Riu Palace in Cancun is great and this looks like the same layout. Will let you know if we find something we'd recommend!

mechomper Posted April 14, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I am renting a UTV and touring the island on my own. Rental is from 10:00-6:00 so we have plenty of time to site see and go to the beach. We are using Aruba ATV which meets us at a gas station right outside the port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare genealogyfan Posted April 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I've been to Aruba many times and a few years ago my friend and I took a nice tour with ABC Tours, which included lunch. I see on their website they offer a tour with a beach escape too. They have small tours. We had a driver drive the jeep off road. It was very bumpy but not that crazy. https://abc-aruba.com/jeep-tours/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted May 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) when we were in Aruba last time (2016?) we took a taxi to the Butterfly Farm and did that tour on our own with our kiddo. We liked it. Then we simply crossed the street to the beach and spent several hours there. Chaises were free in front of the Divi Phoenix hotel, and there was plenty of shade under the palm trees. Loved it. There were changing booths and showers on the beach, and food if needed (we don't need it). We'll definitely do that again in 3 weeks. 🙂 Edited May 4, 2022 by Itchy&Scratchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorrieCJ Posted June 11, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2022 @Itchy&Scratchy, what beach is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTEllis Posted June 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 12, 2022 That beach looks like the palapa rentals on Eagle Beach. Right next to the Amsterdam Manor Resort. I could be wrong. It certainly does look like it though. The best Resort day pass on Aruba is at the Barcelo did it like 5 years ago with a group from the ship. Couldn't believe how much fun we had.
