Mangroves, pirate tours, snorkeling, and Dutch pancakes. Those are the four things I listed when asked what is there to do in Aruba.
But this Caribbean country offers much more than that curious quadruplet. And its size and accessibility make it a cinch to visit. Read on to find out how to have a fulfilling, responsible and incredibly fun trip to Aruba :)
Read our article on basic facts (including the history and culture) of Aruba too.
This totally deserves its own section. That’s because you can spend every day swimming with tropical fish and tortoises in the coral reefs!
All of these spots are on the western part of the island (the eastern side is too dangerous for snorkeling). Always consider the conditions (waves, current) before going in, and go with a friend.
You can rent equipment when you arrive. Watch this safety video first.
I doubt you need convincing to go to Aruba. But our challenge was to make our trip fun and Earth-friendly. So we found activities that mix real cultural experiences with epic outdoor adventures.
It was surprising easy!
One more thing to note: you don’t have to plan too much in advance (besides a pirate catamaran tour) because everything is so close. You can get from one end of the island to another in literally under an hour by car.
