Attractions and Things to Do

Aruba isn't really a place people come to see. Vacationers instead revel in the plethora of aquatic activities (if you think the water looks great from your towel on the beach, wait till you get underwater), explore the rough landscape in all terrain vehicles, and when the day is done, grab a prime vantage point at one of the island's bars and drink in a breathtaking sunset, cocktail in hand before heading out to one of the many salsa clubs and smoky bars that beckon.

If you can drag yourself away from the Cuban music shows, salsa clubs, and Latin theme events that are an integral part of Aruba's nightlife, you might want to check out the Butterfly Farm. Close to 35 species of the winged creatures flutter around while a guide explains some of their most intriguing idiosyncrasies, including a 48 hour mating ritual.

Fort Zoutman built in 1796 is the oldest standing symbol of the Dutch occupation of this island. The nearby Museo Arobano displays a selection of artifacts from the Dutch period.

If you've had your fill of Caribbean culture, hire an all terrain vehicle and explore Aruba on wheels. Charter a catamaran for the day and sail the clear waters, or just swim in the shallow surf that's perfect for a dip. Adrenaline junkies will find enough jet skiing, kayaking and para sailing from here to sunset, while those who want to do nothing more than dip their toes in the water can take an as-close-as-is-possible look at the abundant marine life in a submarine or glass bottomed boat.
