Golfing at Divi Links

Sunset Sail


Off-Road Island Tour

Words cannot describe how much we liked the Conchi di Tortuga (natural pool)!

The Alto Vista Chapel accommodates 25 people inside and over 300 outside. The priest conducts his service on the chapel steps so everyone can participate.

Although the big natural bridge collapsed in 2005, the island’s baby bridge is just as cool to visit.

The exterior of the Bushiribana Gold Mine Ruins.

Hiking to the entrance of the Quadirikiri Cave.

The California Lighthouse, located at the north end of the island.

Baby beach – not at all crowded during late November.

I didn’t know anything about Aruba before reading your post so it was great to learn about somewhere new! Sounds like a great place to visit- love the sound of the boat trip and also the beach bum part of the holiday too -we like to relax but also enjoy trips too. The breakfasts look delicious!! #feetdotravel
We would gladly go back to Aruba and highly recommend it to others. It was wonderful!
An 11-hour tour? Goodness that’s a long day but you definitely saw a ton of amazing things! Would love to visit Aruba one day! #FeetDoTravel
It was actually one of those days we didn’t want to end! We had so much fun!!
We enjoyed Aruba! I bought a lovely big beach bag with the words “One Happy Island” so hearing these words makes me happy. We only had a day there on a cruise so hit the beach, but the amount if activities surprised me! Great read, pinned. #feetdotravel
So glad you also enjoyed your time there! It is such a happy little place!
Omg those pictures!!!! Seems like I gotta plan a trip to Aruba! #feetdotravel
Yes, you really should look into it for a great beach break!
Aruba is a place that is high on my bucket list. I would definitely go. The beaches look clean and I like how you feel safe there. Good recommendation on the hotel. I pinned for later use. #feetdotravel
Thanks for pinning! I hope you make it to this happy island some day!
Wow! What fabulous looking place. I love the Conchi di Tortuga!
It was the coolest natural pool! Definitely a place you could hang out at again and again.
How I would love to swim in this water! And I would first breakfast on the strawberry pancakes. So fun!
The water here is so warm. And, the fruit is so fresh. Just a wonderful place to be!
Looks great – those natural pools would be fantastic right now! I need warmth! Looks like there is plenty to do too!
There really is a lot to do on this island. And, the weather is pretty balmy all year round, so it’s never a bad time to visit!
Hmmm, we’ve been looking for a beach/island vacation. This could be it! Looks fantastic, and I love the activities you found. Definitely pinning this one – if not for this year, maybe the next.
You won’t regret it if you guys go! It is a wonderful destination!!
Aruba has not been on my radar but after reading your blog, I have put it on my list. It looks magical.
Aruba looks fabulous! We haven’t had a chance to make it to the Caribbean yet but you’ve persuaded me to add Aruba to our shortlist. I love the idea of visiting the Conchi di Tortuga, that looks absolutely epic.
You have sold me on visiting Aruba, your pictures are great and I think a few days in the resort would be nice. Are there other options for staying on the island, where we might get a more local feel?
I love Aruba!! I didn’t see many of the historic places or monuments, as the beaches are so amazing! Next time, I’ll have to visit these spots!
