Aruba is known for it's northeast trade wind making it a perfect location to go kitesurfing. Armando's kite shack is located near the fisherman huts, it might be a bit gutsy at times, but it's a perfect place to learn. After that you are ready for some waves at Boca Grandi!

Arikok is a beautiful serene natural park. You can walk, go with your jeep or an ATV. The waves always impress me, it is such a different scenery than the other side of the island. Don't take any risks when entering the natural pool, some days it might be too wavy and they will close it, other days it's calm enough to go in.

THE best place to go snorkeling! Very shallow water, beautiful for snorkeling from the shore. High likelihood of seeing a turtle.

Sure it is great going around the island in a jeep or UTV, but can you imagine exploring without the sound of an engine? At Rancho Loco you can join a tour and go horseback riding. You can choose many different options, the coast, arikok or the mines.

There is no better place (in the world) to have fresh fish, the fisherman literally bring in their catch of the day, weigh it off, cook it for you to eat (with your hands).

Beach front restaurant where you have the possibility to eat with your feet in the ocean. The food is really good, service is great and it really makes for a special evening out. It's rather expensive so keep that in mind.
TIP: Book a table at 5:30 so you can watch the sunset.

Really warm ambiance and amazing food. Everything on the menu is tasty, so pick the tapas experience which will allow you to taste almost everything (the next visit you can pick the full dish).

Just a great place close to the city to enjoy a dinner on the beach. Really good fish, a nice ambiance and a view that is hard to beat. The menu is quite varied and there is something for everyone. Make sure to book a table on time for sunset.

One of the most beautiful beaches, big white stretches of sand, relatively quiet compared to busier palm beach. All the umbrella's made of wood and palmleaves are owned by the Island and are complimentary for usage by all visitors.

A favorite beach of the locals, small and only with few umbrella's. It's away from all the hotels making it a unique little piece of paradise. Beautiful snorkeling, and a nice place to enjoy a lunch or early dinner.

Not the best place to swim due to the strong current, however; definitely a good place to visit. Beautiful beach (and ocean) that is very popular amongst kitesurfers!
