Aruba Shore Excursion: Island Tour of Aruba

Description

Aruba is an island defined by clear blue skies and the warmth of consistent trade winds – lucky you to be in port there. It attracts everyone from sport enthusiasts to the most enthusiastic sun worshipers. On this island tour shore excursion, see the Natural Bridge, the second largest city in Aruba and Baby Beach, among other sights.

While you’re in port in Aruba, take this shore excursion to see the best of the Caribbean island with a knowledgeable guide.

Stops include:

• Ruins of Bushiribana – the remains of a gold smelter built of natural stone in 1825 that functioned for most of the 19th century.
• Natural Bridge – one of Aruba's most popular attractions, formed of coral limestone cut out by years of pounding surf. It’s one of the largest rock spans of this type in the world.
• Ayo Rock formation and Cave (Arawak Indian Drawings) – a natural preserve that features some of the oldest Arawak drawings, as well as trails showcasing Aruba's variety of flora and fauna.
• Frenchman's Pass Historical Site – luscious stretch of road bordered by overhanging trees and towering cacti almost midway between Oranjestad and San Nicolas.
• Old City of Savaneta – Aruba's former first capital, now a bustling fishing village with a 150-year-old mud hut. It’s the oldest dwelling still standing on the island.
• San Nicolas – Aruba's second capital and oldest village. It was once a bustling port and is now home to Aruba's main red-light district, offering plenty of street color.
• Alto Vista Chapel and California Lighthouse

On the return journey, you’ll drive through downtown Oranjestad. You can choose to be dropped off downtown to wander the shops and marvel at the Dutch architecture, or be dropped off at the cruise ship port.
