In general terms, Aruba prices are higher than those in, for example, the Hispanic Caribbean (Colombia, Dominican, Cuba, Mexico). But in return, the island guarantees an excellent climate all year round and high-level services.
Tours in Aruba
Free or cheap
A must-see experience in Aruba for every traveler is enjoying its miles of white sand beaches and crystal clear sea. In Aruba, almost all beaches are public and, for the most part, accessible by public transportation.
There is a fun free trolley that connects the cruise terminal to downtown Oranjestad. It travels along the main street and has 6 stops at monuments and museums, as well as commercial areas.
For kids and wildlife enthusiasts, the Aruba Butterfly Farm, very close to Palm Beach, is the perfect place to spend a relaxing day and photograph butterflies.
Average cost
Aruba is ideal for recreational diving. In addition to the beauty of its reefs, ships and planes rest in its waters.
We can also hire a catamaran ride that includes snorkeling in Boca Catalina and over the SS Antilla shipwreck.
High cost
Another typical Aruba attraction is spending a day on Renaissance Island, where we can feed and photograph flamingos that roam freely on the beach.
Finally, the Palm Island complex offers us all-inclusive fun: breakfast and lunch, open bar, snorkeling equipment, banana boat rides, zip line, water park, salsa classes and some activities with extra cost (Sea Trek, a walk on the water with a special helmet, and Snuba, a combination of snorkeling and diving that allows you to go deeper without the heavy tanks on your back).
