Things to Do

Trip Advisor

I ignored all the “beach” ones except Baby Beach. Wow, there is plenty to see and do:

  • Philip's Animal Garden, Noord
  • Baby Beach, San Nicolas
  • Arikok National Park, Santa Cruz
  • Natural Pool
  • National Archaeological Museum Aruba
  • Ayo and Casibari Rock Formations
  • Seroe Colorado (geologic formations)
  • Guadirikiri Caves (awesome)
  • Wilhelmina Park, Oranjestad
  • Natural Bridge
  • Museo Arubano, Oranjestad (Aruba History Museum)
  • Bushiri Karting Speedway, Oranjestad (SPEEDWAY!?!) hehe
  • Stonehenge of Aruba
  • De Man Shell Collection, Oranjestad

Suggestions from Bill

  • Tour of lighthouse and north side of island.
  • Snorkeling at Baby Beach in lagoon on southeastern tip of island. Bring bread to feed the fish. We rented a car to get there.
  • 1/2 day sport fishing on charter boat. Caught a wahoo and lost a marlin. Water was very rough even though it was calm at the beach.
  • Semi-submersible submarine tour of shipwrecks.

Suggestions from Debbie

  • She mentioned a pirate ship that sails around the bay and they feed you dinner.
  • She also mentioned a bus that drives around the island where you can drink on the bus, but that's more of an adult only experience I should think 8-)

Places to Eat

Just looking at Trip Advisor Restaurants, these jumped out at me: (it looks like we have lots of choices)

  • Costa Riba, San Nicolas
  • Barefoot Restaurant
  • Hollywood Smokehouse
  • Scott's Brats

You know what.. never mind… there are so many, all of these sound awesome … we will just look while down there and head to whatever we're in the mood for or eat at home.
