Open the offersAruba lies about 15 miles off Venezuela, outside the main hurricane belt, with steady trade winds and low rainfall. Resorts line Palm Beach and Eagle Beach on the west coast, while Arikok National Park covers about 20 percent of the island.
Catamaran snorkel trips combine the shallow wreck with Boca Catalina and Arashi reef; most run half a day from Palm Beach.
Guided jeep or UTV tours cross the park’s rough tracks to Conchi, with stops at caves; park admission is extra.
Climb the tower in late afternoon for a view down the west coast beaches.
Steady trade winds and flat shallow water make this the island’s main kite and windsurf school beach.
Limestone caves such as Guadirikiri and Fontein with Amerindian rock drawings, visited on park tours.
Knee-deep water across most of the cove makes it the usual choice for small children.
The waterfront, Fort Zoutman and the free streetcar along Main Street can be covered in a couple of hours.
Wrecks and reefs within short boat rides; the Antilla and the Pedernales tanker are the main wreck dives.
Ranch rides along the rugged windward coast to the Natural Pool or the lighthouse.
An 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II course near the California Lighthouse.
