Things to do in Aruba
Tours
Aruba Premium Sunset Sail with Appetizers and Open Bar: Sunset sail tour with amazing drinks and delicious hors d’oeuvres and appetizers, which were super fresh and served hot right out of the oven.
Aruba UTV Tour with Natural Cave Pool and Cliff Jumping: This tour is a must for great adventurers. We loved jumping off the cliffs into the natural pool, it was absolutely breathtaking. We also made little stops along the way, including the old gold mine. We personally loved having our Aruba local beers along for the ride.
Jolly Pirates Tour: This is a sunset snorkel and open-bar tour that costs only $45 a person. We had an absolute blast sailing on an old pirate ship with a rope swing to jump off and snorkeling in the three different spots. We even saw an old World War II ship that sank.
Places to eat & drink in Aruba
Breakfast:
Salt n Pepper: Had the best Dutch pancakes and the portions are humongous in so many different flavors, whether sweet or savory.
Dinner:
Bohemian: Fantastic drinks and the best food with French flare and overall best environment, an outdoors restaurant.
Tango Argentine Grill: We had the best steaks with so much flavor and a great price.
Barefoot: Dinner with a sunset view and airplanes going by. Super fresh seafood right on the beach where you can watch the airplanes land.
Quick bites to eat:
Dushi Bagels and Burgers: With live music!
Desserts:
Pofferdorie Food truck: Had the best mini dutch pancakes as you watch them being cooked in front of you with so many different flavors.
