39august Posted March 21, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Where from the pier can we catch a bus to Eagle beach and what would be the name or number of the bus? How often do these buses run, please? Can you take a bus to Arashi beach as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherlady48 Posted March 24, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2005 The bus terminal/station is at the end of the block where the cruise ships dock. Just ask the guard at the terminal entrance and he will point it to you. The bus fare is $2.00 return. Just get a ticket for the ride back. They run every 20 minutes or so. Here is the link for the bus schedule: http://www.visitaruba.com/travel/getaround/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted March 24, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Thanks fisherlady! It appears that the buses only stop at Palm beach hotels. I wanted to go to Eagle beach. If we got off at the first hotel stop, Bushini Beach Resort, I assume we could walk back down to Eagle beach? I also have some information that there is a stone jetty at the end of Palm beach where there are no hotels where there is good snorkeling, so I assume we would be reasonably close to that area. Any further info you can give me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdncruzer Posted March 25, 2005 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2005 We were dropped off @ Eagle Beach after our jeep tour...gorgeous beach...uncrowded, very relaxing. We had no trouble catching the "bushalte" back to the downtown terminal right across from the pier. Very easy and user friendly! There were multiple stops along the way. Many taxis will stop and offer you service as you stand at the bus stop...the asking price for a cab was ~$9.00 from Eagle Beach to the pier...an OK deal if there are alot of you but @ $1.15 one way it was cheaper and more fun to mingle with the locals!!

39august Posted March 25, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted March 25, 2005 cdncruiser- So in your experience, there were bus stops along Eagle beach? The bus schedule clearly states that buses do not stop at several named Eagle beach hotels and that the nearest bus stop is at the hospital, wherever that may be! I'd much rather take the bus if I can! Maybe the bus schedule that I read is not up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherlady48 Posted March 25, 2005 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2005 There are bus stops up and down the road from Oranjested. Get off at the bus stop at the corner by "Alhambra Casino" just tell the driver. They might consider that the hospital one but I think the Alhambra is one before. From there look across the street you will see the casino and the Divi is there, then Casa Del Mar, adjoined to that is Aruba Beach Club and then Manchebo. Then Bucciti (sp). All the beaches are public, just bring your towels, you will find a spot and I own at ABC so its my favorite beach!! Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted March 25, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Fisherlady, Thanks again. Other questions, please. Can we rent chairs and umbrellas from the various hotels and is there any shade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdncruzer Posted March 26, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 26, 2005 We literallly picked up our towels, walked across the sand, to the street and waited for the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
