Aruba: Updates & Travel

Travel in Aruba?

As many people know, Aruba is the ideal vacation destination if you love sun, sea and beach! Aruba has other sides as well. Walk the haystack and look out over the island, walk among the cheerfully colored houses in Oranjestad (Playa) or admire the beautiful colors of the butterflies, on display in the butterfly garden.
Bubali bird sanctuary is a reserve near Palmbeach. It is the ideal place for bird and nature lovers, as this small nature reserve is set up as a resting and breeding place for eighty species of birds.
Visit Haystack. Hike this prominent mountain (with stairs) to admire the entire island from the top in clear weather.
Go to the Donkey Sanctuary. Contribute to this donkey sanctuary project by paying a small entrance fee. See and cuddle the many donkeys.
JoHotspots in Aruba
Moomba beach is one of the most popular beaches in Aruba, as there are many restaurants and bars here. There are also water activities to do and, of course, you can sunbathe and swim.
Conchi is a natural pool. It has a calm water section, where you can swim and snorkel. The pool is enclosed by high rocks that protect you from the high waves and strong currents of the ocean.
Be prepared to bump into the cruise ship/tourist invasion. Because Aruba is such a wonderful vacation destination, about half a million tourists come by plane or cruise ship every year while Aruba itself has a population of just under 100,000.
