YouTube Video Description↓

This Aruba tour did NOT go the way we expected and that’s what made it so good. Michelle and I specifically asked for Happy, the popular Aruba bus tour driver everyone talks about. We were told he wasn’t there… but that turned out not to be true. Instead, we ended up doing a separate $25 island tour; same price as Happy’s, and honestly, it was really good. But here’s the twist πŸ‘€ By the end of the day, we finally linked up with Happy himself, and that’s when Michelle said it felt like we got the best of both worlds... literally two Aruba tours in one day. The highlight? Happy. No question. If you’re cruising to Aruba and trying to decide what tour to do, you have to see this. This is one stop you don’t want to miss. #hangingwiththehowards #arubatour #arubacruisestop #arubaislandtour #happyaruba #bestcruisetour #cruiseportadventures #budgetcruisetips #cruiseexcursions #cruiselife #caribbeancruise #islandtour #cruisevlog #travelcouple #freeandmichelle #cruiseonabudget
