Creator's Key Takeaways
I had done this at numerous other Cruise ports and found it as often less expensive and more fulfilling
I still found the Quick Trip worthwhile just to see how aloe vera was processed
I would highly recommend this as it was the highlight from my previous trip
I think my choice of having a driver take us to various sites was a good one in that I was able to see many things in a short amount of time

I arrived in Oranjestad, the cruise port in Aruba, by way of a Windstar cruise ship. Rather than pre-booking a tour, I decided to find a driver to take me around the island. I was able to visit the following destinations: the Aloe Vera Factory and Museum, the California Lighthouse, Boca Catalina and Boaca Arashi Beaches, the Natural Bridge, Big Mouth, the Bushiribana Gold Mill, Casibari Rock Formation, and downtown Oranjestad. I also have included information and advice from a previous trip about Eagle Beach and a Jeep Caravan excursion. Aruba is a glorious island with much to offer. @seniorsolotravel Facebook Travel Forum: https://www.facebook.com/groups/443309331791413 Senior Solo Travel Website: https://www.seniorsolotravel.net/ Videos from this trip: Barbados: https://youtu.be/omMmLk4Kghg Tobago: https://youtu.be/QN2AGSK6opY Bequia: https://youtu.be/iJLmq0PMFh0 Saint Lucia: https://youtu.be/yUCO6t21B1Y Grenada: https://youtu.be/RFuje1KHFK8 Curacao: https://youtu.be/IGiY4W52icY Aruba: https://youtu.be/i__6hjSg3ZY Cartagena, Columbia: https://youtu.be/hGH5_vuOxlI Bocas Del Toro: https://youtu.be/mwKEzqC3VI8 San Blas Islands/Isla Aroma: https://youtu.be/EbEihaYr2qM Panama Canal: https://youtu.be/iHHODpPvJYs Windstar Cruise Experience: https://youtu.be/D-fYv91q9gc Casco Viejo Panama City: https://youtu.be/wwg4aKeC1-Q Things to do in Panama City: https://youtu.be/F07S1jx2EuY Please subscribe for more travel videos! 0:00 Intro 0:43 Aloe Vera Factory 1:27 Boca Catalina Beach 1:38 California Lighthouse 2:07 Boca Arashi Beach 2:23 Natural Bridge 2:48 Big Mouth 2:56 Bushiribana Gold Mill 3:10 Casibari Rock Formation 3:33 Oranjestad 4:23 Jeep Excursion 4:37 Eagle Beach 4:58 Outro
