Aruba Excursions

[carncruiser1964]

Hubby and I are sailing on the Horizon to Aruba in September. We’ve been there once before and took a great snorkeling excursion through Carnival but it lasted pretty much the whole time we were there and we didn’t have time to explore the port or do some shopping. Any recommendations on a beach to go to by taxi from the port?  Trying to make the most of a great port. Thanks in advance.

Eagle beach is nice but lots of great beaches. We take island bus which takes us right there and very cheap

If you navigate around here on the Aruba forum there are good suggestions. Have fun!

We took an air co bus tour of the island in the morning and went to the beach after a late lunch on the ship.

 

The bus tour included stops at the Aloe Factory, The Casabari Rocks, and the natural beach area.

We saw about 2/3 of the island this way.
