What to Do
Golfing enthusiasts will love the three Robert Trent Jones, Jr. 18-hole championship golf courses at Tierra del Sol. It’s a challenging course with amazing ocean vistas and spectacular views.
A great way to explore the island by day is through a jeep safari. It is the only way to reach the crystal clear waters of the natural pool, and its special route explores other key historic sights on the island such as the California Lighthouse and the Natural Bridge. The half-day trip will allow you to explore the cunucu's unique beauty and animal life: jagged volcanic peaks, sunbathing iguanas and the emblematic Divi Divi trees. After that, cool off in the natural Pool, where you can swim, snorkel and relax.
Under the brilliance of a constant sun, water provides the ultimate playground. An entire vacation can be filled with water adventures. An example is the Jolly Pirates tour aboard the 85 foot teak schooner. It’s one of Aruba's most popular snorkel and sunset cruises. The snorkel trip includes visits to three sites including Malmok reefs, Boca Catalina and a WWII shipwreck. There’s also a barbeque and some time to lie out and relax.
Alternately, you can skim the surface at top speed by banana boat, catamaran or holding on to the sail while windsurfing in Aruba’s perfect conditions of sun, sea and fun.
The surface of the water provides yet more recreational options for both budding water babies and seasoned water sports enthusiasts alike. Armed with bathing suit, sunscreen and an adventurous spirit, go-getters pilot their way through tranquil lagoons by kayak, capture the wind to send themselves airborne while kite surfing or wrestle the big fish from deep waters on a half- or full-day fishing trip. An invigorating adrenaline rush is also the payoff to a high-powered speedboat or jet ski ride or in lifting up over open seas on a parasail trip. From splashing around the water park to taking on extreme water-bound adventures, Aruba’s seas offer the promise of infinite possibilities to the free spirited vacationer.
