10 Bus Tours in Aruba That You Shouldn't Miss

June 2, 2021 Viva Honore

Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

14May2021: The tour with Monica from Fins and Feet was perfect! She picked us up at our resort promptly at 0530 and drove to where we started the hike. On arrival she provided the 3 of us with a backpack complete with water, towel, snorkel and snack. We hiked to the natural pool. Monica was very pleasant and was knowledgeable about Aruba, and answered all of our questions. We really enjoyed Monica as our private tour guide. It was a beautiful sunrise and the water at the Natural pool was perfect for snorkeling. Monica gave some tips for navigating the rocks and entry into the pool. We saw many colorful fish while snorkeling and had the pool to ourselves. After the snorkel we hiked back to the parking lot where we enjoyed some refreshing watermelon. Monica returned us to our resort by 0930. The total hike was 2.95 miles.

You are invited to hike with us along the Spanish Lagoon Mangrove Trail inland to the headwaters where you will find the ruins of the old gold smelter neighbouring the haunted Frenchman’s Pass. Well-informed and enjoyably personal guides will lead you along this mangrove laced trail while explaining all there is to know about this rarely visited part of our island. Archaeologists have recently carbon-dated various shell middens as far back as 1465 BC as Spanish Lagoon was a principal area of exploration by the Archaic Amerindian first arrivals from Venezuela. After exploring the old Balashi Gold Smelter Ruins, we will take you to visit the “Shoco” nests. The Shoco athene cunicularia arubensis is our renowned burrowing owl. We then transport you to Murano’s Cafe and Art Studio for a lovely lunch.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Lunch at Murano art gallery & Restaurant , Water during the tour

Exclusions: Tour guide Tips :)
