Things to do in Palm - Eagle Beach, Aruba: The Best Bus Tours

September 26, 2021 Chanda Heide

Inhabited since the year 1000, Aruba is an island rich in history and culture. Eagle Beach is an idyllic Caribbean beach, with white sands and turquoise waters, and is frequented by water sports enthusiasts. Palm Beach, on the island's west side, offers perfect swimming conditions and powdery sand. Those more concerned with conditions under the waves won't want to miss the wreck of the torpedoed tanker Pedernales, a popular diving site. Aruba is only 20 miles long, thus easily explored by bike or moped.

Make sure you book these guys for all your needs they will treat you as family and you will always feel safe and taken care of with them. This was truly the highlight of my trip having Bob and Donovan show us their island, take us to hot spots, restaurants, beaches, and even went out their way multiple times to accommodate our needs. I have yet to take a tour company that even rivals these guys!

We took a cruise the week of January 11th, one of the stops was Aruba. I had contacted Randy a couple weeks prior to our trip and he was really responsive. I had contact a couple other companies and they never replied. Randy was so easy to communicate with via email. We decided to do the 4 hour tour of Aruba for our party of 6 which was 4 adults and 2 children ages 5 and 3. Benjamin was our tour guide. He picked us up right outside the port and had a sign with our last name on it. He told us to stay put because he parked far and he would come get us so we wouldn't have to walk. It was a hot 82 degree day. He pulled up with the van which had plenty of room for us to stretch out. It was nice and air conditioned and clean! The weather that day was strange. It would be sunny and then pour and then stop and it was windy. We didn't let that stop us. We took photos by a couple Aruba signs, saw the 600 step hike. We didn't do the hike, but took photos. It was beautiful. We also saw the rock formations and the natural bridge which was breathtaking. We also saw the lighthouse but didn't climb up. I'm sure it would have had an amazing view, but we wanted to spend a couple hours at the beach. After visiting destinations and giving us some history, Benjamin dropped us off at Eagle Beach for 1.5 - 2 hours. The beach is clean, white sand and blue water. Our family had so much fun. Benjamin waited for us while we hung out at the beach and didn't charge us extra. We had paid for a 4 hour tour, with the beach stop, it was more like like 6 hours! He then took us back to the port so we got back around 1:30. We had time to shop and eat. He recommended The Old Fisherman. This place was reasonably priced and good! My husband and I ordered grilled red snapper and it was only 20 bucks. It came with rice, fries and plantains. We had an amazing time in Aruba and want to spend a few days there. Thanks so much To Alpha Tours, Randy and Benjamin for a fun filled day! I would recommend using this tour company. They are great.

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.
