Papiamento, which means welcome, is the first word you’ll hear when you arrive on the happiest island in the world, Aruba. The island boasts sunny days, pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, making this vacation destination a one-stop shop.
Here are the top five must-do activities.
Eat at the Papiamento
Dinner at Papiamento is a unique, unforgettable experience. This hidden gem is adjacent to a 125-year old cuncu manor filled with antiques from Europe. Lush gardens, a sparkling pool, lights in the tree branches and live entertainment surround it. The chef creates exceptional island dishes with a fusion of flavors using Caribbean spices, vegetables and herbs.
Enjoy Watersports
Seeking water fun on a hot day? Ride the Big Bertha Tube; be prepared to hold on and enjoy the sights as you are pulled around on a speedboat in the Caribbean waters. Strap in and soar 30 feet above the ocean on a jetpack adventure. Shoot up in the air then hover, turn and walk on water.
Book an ATV Action Tour
All tours are lead by an expert, guiding you through Aruba’s natural beauty. These tours can lead you through the streets or off-roading through remote parts of the island. Spend your day swimming in a natural pool by the Caribbean and viewing notable island landmarks.
Sail into the Sunset
Set sail aboard a luxury catamaran on a cruise into the sunset. Throughout the excursion, get ready to experience local food, dance and entertainment.
Kukoo Kunuku
Hop aboard the party bus for an evening of fun. Shake your hand-painted maracas to the beat of Caribbean music as you explore the hidden bars known only to the locals.
