The activities worth planning your week around
Aruba is small — 32 km long — so you can combine a rugged east coast morning with a west coast beach afternoon. These are the experiences travellers book most.
Snorkel the Antilla wreck
A private boat charter out of Palm Beach reaches the WWII Antilla shipwreck and Boca Catalina in under half an hour.
See water tours →California Lighthouse & Alto Vista
The north tip of the island: lighthouse views, the little yellow Alto Vista chapel and the Bushiribana gold mill ruins.
