Things to do in Aruba, Aruba: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

An organic farm in Alto Vista. We toured the fields of organic vegetables and prepared a local Aruban dish of CREAMY PUMPKIN AND PLANTAIN SOUP and KESHI YENA... we dined with couples from Wisconsin and Corning NY. A truly beautiful experience in Aruba away from all the busy touristy places. This is the real Aruba...thanks to our host Suzette. Fabulous evening.

A submerged 120-foot barge on Malmok reef offers excellent diving experiences.
Reviewed By ericbG9639CA
Excellent dive - Reef and wreck are close together and easily accessible on one dive. Spotted eagle ray, turtles, moray eels, and lots of reef fish. The wreck is relatively recent and is attracting a great deal of sea life as it begins to mature. It is also easy for penetration diving.

I visited the track for the first time along with friends from the island. It was an awesome and different experience. A lot more visitors should check this location out. We did three races which last about 10 minutes a piece. On the last race we were able to operate the track in the reverse direction thanks to the Track Master. The karts are pretty fast and the track is well designed. Vacationers put this on your to do list!!!
