Island Tour Question

fiores · 08-15-2009, 11:10 PM

I would like to take my 5 year old and 6 1/2 year old on a tour next week on our trip to Aruba.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of tour we should try.

Thanks
Steve

flores, my first intro would be baby beach, at the young age shallow water no waves(DO NOT GO OUTSIDE THE BREAKEWATER STRONG CURRENT) lots of fish very good to snorkel with no worries inside.

There are any number of island tours from private tours to jeep tours. Keeping in mind the age of the kids, I would stick with something half day in length.

We have been to Aruba many times and have taken a few tours with adults but this time I would like to take my kids. Any suggestions

I don't know how much children that age would enjoy seeing specific sights. How about renting a car for the day and making stops at the

butterfly farm
donkey sanctuary
and ostrich farm

Afterwards you could stop at Baby Beach or Arashi for swimming or Boca Catalina for some easy shore snorkeling.

For something much more adventurous http://www.aruba.com/forum/f10/anyone-take-tomcar-tour-yet-36240/
