My husband and I are going back to Aruba in September for our 4th trip and are looking to do things that we have not yet done. We would like to try one of the party buses but are unsure of which one to choose. I'm in my late 30's and my hubby is in his mid 40's (in case that matters

...I don't know if one caters to more of a younger crowd than the other or if it just doesn't matter). We'd also like to try either the ATV tour or the Jeep tour but don't know which would be the best. We are renting a Jeep for the 10 days that we are there but we'd like to go on a guided tour to see things that we wouldn't maybe get to on our own. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

For the party bus, the Kukoo Kunuku seems to be very popular regardless of your age.

I don't know about the jeep trips, but would recommend finding one that includes the natural pool.

I know that Depalm Tours specializes in a lot of tours. They are very reputable. If you google Depalm tours aruba you can go into their catalog and see all the things they offer. We especially like their Palm Pleasure catamaran sunset and snorkel tours-been 5x.

I haven't been on a ATV tour. I used ABC Jeep Tour and do recommend them. http://www.abc-aruba.com/

We have not taken any jeep tours either, just toured on our own.

Our family did just take a private ATV tour with Kini Kini. I wrote about the experience at http://www.aruba.com/forum/f32/arubalisa-we-await-reports-aruba-31671/#post112775

Kukoo kunukoo is best bar hopper tour. see www.depalm.com for land and sea tours. find a jeep tour or safari tour that goes to natural pool and baby beach.

Thanks to all for your great responses...just exactly what I was looking for!

Just got back from Aruba on June 23rd and my wife and I did both a guided jeep tour and party bus. If you want to have a really great time, definately go on the Kukoo Kunuku bus. This was an excellent time and the age range was very big. We had people on our bus from 18-50. Everyone had a great time and you will get plenty to drink, TRUST ME. I recommend doing this tour at least once. You won't regret it.
We also did a guided jeep tour through Depalm. We did the full day jeep safari with depalm island included. The tour was great and you get to see a side of Aruba you usually wouldn't see. We didn't see the natural pool and I think we'll do that tour next time, but the one we went on was great. I don't think we would include Depalm island next time, but we did Seatrek their and it was a lot of fun.
Enjoy your trip and definately check both of these tours out. You will be glad you did.

Thanks for the recommendations Digger0713! The jeep tour through DePalm and the Kukoo Kunuku party bus were our choices too! Did you book those before you got to the island or after you arrived there? Thanks again!

Definitively try the Kukoo kunukoo and ABC tours! ABC is the best touring company on Aruba!
