Creator's Key Takeaways

Aruba is a unique Caribbean island. It's hot, dry, and arid. It's actually a desert.

Highly recommended the donkey sanctuary here in Aruba. Don't look past this one. We almost did. It's really cool.

Aruba is known for sunsets and what better way to see one than from the water on a sunset cruise.

These cruises are a blast.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Rent a car to explore the island; it's cheap and easy to drive.
โœ“Visit the Donkey Sanctuary and pair it with a trip to Mangel Halto Beach.
โœ“Stop in San Nicolas for street art and coffee on the way to Baby Beach.
โœ“Bring flat hands to feed the donkeys.
โœ“Check out Oranjestad for gift shopping and a sunset dinner.
โœ“Book a sunset cruise to see the sunset from the water.
