Aruba, besides snorkeling and the beach, any suggestions?

Show all answers

KUKU KUNUKU PARTY BUS... By far one of the best times I've ever had. People are all ages. A big coloful bus with a crazy horn/music picks you up at your hotel. Everyone gets maracas. First you have champagne on the beach at sunset, then go to an enormous mansion for dinner. Then you go bar hopping to all these crazy bars with first drink free. One bar had crazy hats and one had a limbo contest. http://www.kukookunuku.com/

JOLLY PIRATE SHIP... Awesome. You go on this big pirate ship and they take you to 3 different snorkeling locations, one of which is a WWII shipwreck (Antilla). Part of the ship is even sticking out of the water. It's amazing! It's open bar and they give you a BBQ lunch. My favorite part was the ropeswing off the font of the boat into the water. So much fun!! http://www.jolly-pirates.com/

ATV TOURS... I didn't do this because I had no time. Friends of mine did it and loved it. You can ride the 4-wheelers yourself too. They also have horseback riding and paintballing. http://www.visitaruba.com/ranchodaimari/...

SHOPPING... You can take a bus into town and go shopping. There are malls there and also a strip with little souvenir stands. Also some good places for lunch. I recommed IGUANA JOE'S for a quick, casual bite to eat.

RESTAURANTS...
- EL GAUCHO: Argentinian steakhouse. Amazing! http://www.elgaucho-aruba.com/
- FLYING FISHBONE: On the beach. Some tables are halfway in the water! Great experience. Go at sunset, around 5. http://www.flyingfishbone.com/
- BLOSSOMS: Most delicious Japanese food I've had. You sit at the habachi. Lots of fun. http://www.westinaruba.com/BlossomsAruba

Dinner on the beach at the Hyatt Regency or the Flying Fishbone restaurant

Note: Some web sites still list the natural bridge as an attraction, but it collapsed a few years ago.

I think they have Antlatis Submarine tours there.

I was at De Palm Island in Aruba 2 weeks ago, it was really nice!

You should try wind surfing while your there. It's not too expensive but you might want to get lessons first

go to http:///www.aruba.com for a full list of activities.

Snorkeling. Casinos. Water sports.
Sightseeing-Lighthouse, Tunnel of Love, Old Gold mines to name a few.
The Taboo is fun so is the Banana bus.
Nightlife- Senor Frogs, Garufa (Cigar & nightclub) are fun.
Be sure to check-out Salt & Pepper (reasonably $ food & drink), Las Brisas or The Flying Fishbone both $$ but worth it.
Happy Hour not to miss- La Cabana 4-7 Tues., Fri., Sun. 2/1 drinks and afterwards 7:30 -9pm The Mill 2/1 drinks, best deal at that end of the island. Both have live music and dancing.
Enjoy your stay
