The perfect getaway to One Happy Island! Feel free to steal this fun travel itinerary to help you plan your own trip to Aruba.
After checking into your hotel there is no better way to kick off your first evening than to head out on the Caribbean for a sunset cruise that includes a relaxing seaside dinner.
Sunset Cruise
Beach Day
Try a stay at Playa Linda Beach Resort or the Amsterdam Manor and swim at the pool or head to Eagle beach on the low-rise side of the island which boasts pristine colors and soft white sand.
Full Day Safari
I recommend going on a fun island tour. You can try renting a car to explore on your own or you can book the Aruba Island Ultimate Safari guided tour.
We spent time visiting the cool Casibari Rock Formations, the Bushiribana gold mill ruins, the gorgeous California Lighthouse, and the unique Fontein Cave.
Thrill seekers can try off-roading in Arikok NP and swim at the beautiful Natural Pool while there. We also had time to snorkel at Baby Beach amongst the tropical fish!
Arikok National Park
Snorkeling Excursion
We departed from Palm Beach and stopped just off the beautiful Arashi Beach, in Boca Catalina Bay, and over the shipwreck of the German WWII ship the Antilla.
Try a stroll through the lovely Oranjestad along the city's small harbor where you can see pretty architecture and stop in for a tropical drink happy hour special.
When staying at the Resort, you can spend the day on the resort's private island and enjoy two beaches: Iguana Beach and Flamingo Beach (home to real flamingos).
