We’ve cruised to Aruba multiple times and in this video we’ll give an overview of our return visit to the island in August 2024. During the visit, our ship, the Carnival Celebration, docked in the capital city of Oranjestad and we rented a car to explore the island. 0:00 - Introduction 1:40 - Super Food Plaza Snack Wall 3:03 - Moko Snack Corner 4:20 - Philip's Animal Garden 5:30 - Alto Vista Chapel 6:01 - Linda's Dutch Pancakes 7:48 - Super Food Plaza Shopping 8:37 - Royal Aruba Aloe 10:13 - Donkey Sanctuary Aruba ORGANIC MAPS APP https://organicmaps.app/ SUPER FOOD PLAZA https://www.superfoodaruba.com/ Bubali 141 A, Oranjestad, Aruba MOKO SNACK CORNER Google Maps: Catiri 48, Aruba Organic Maps: Moko, 4A PHILIP'S ANIMAL GARDEN https://www.philipsanimalgarden.com/ Alto Vista 116, Noord, Aruba ALTO VISTA CHAPEL HXGQ+9JC, Noord, Aruba LINDA'S DUTCH PANCAKES https://lindas-aruba.com/ Route 3 Palm Beach 6-D, Rte 3 6, Noord, Aruba Royal Aruba Aloe https://arubaaloe.com/ Pitastraat 115, Aruba Donkey Sanctuary Aruba http://main.arubandonkey.org/portal/ Bringamosa 2-Z, Santa Cruz, Aruba MORE PORT GUIDES https://www.thejellybeans.net/ OUR FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/thejellybeans OFFICIAL MERCH https://www.teepublic.com/user/the-jelly-beans #TheJellyBeans #CruisePortGuide #Aruba
