What to do and see in Aruba, Aruba: The Best Geologic Formations

January 31, 2022 Merry Kessler

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.

Looking for adventure? Climb Hooiberg, Aruba's famous mountain located at the center of the island, with a view from its 541-foot peak that extends as far as Venezuela on a clear day.

This is a great workout if you're looking for one. It's not too difficult. I was fine wearing sandals. Go early when it's cooler and bring water

Watch the sunrise from this cliff. You won't regret it - or forget it.

Beautiful coastal walk can be had here. And the balmy wind will keep you cool. At least it blows AWAY from the cliffs!

Be careful getting in, but once in just relax and enjoy the site. It is amazing to see this natural wonder and realize that there are fish, crabs and other sea creatures enjoying this area just as much as you. This is something that should not be missed!!

Natural Bridge

Aruba's Natural Bridge collapsed on September 2, 2005. Aruba's stunning geological formation where years of erosion from the sea has carved its way through coral rock forming a 100 foot bridge, 25 feet over the sea, which is the largest of its kind in the Caribbean. Next to the collapsed bridge is now the Baby Natural Bridge which offers great photo opportunities. The site also offers a bar, restrooms and shopping. The area is beautiful for walking or cycling.

We were lucky to be here on a day where there were brisk winds, causing a great surf. The new natural bridge was easily visible as were the remains of the prior one. It’s a great stop to see nature at its finest.

It is worth setting aside 30 minutes to visit. Fun to explore the unique rock formations and climb to the top (easy as there are steps).
