Aruba: In Focus

Hello everyone!

I'm new in here and wanted to know any top 10 attractions at Aruba. My cousins are having a trip there. It's their first time and so I wanted to give them some hints about the place. This is the reason why I'm here

Just like a well-loved original oil paintings, a successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

I don't know that I could come up with the top 10 attractions in aruba....Why is that you ask? There's not a lot to see....BUT...this is what I would see if you wanted...california lighthouse, the un-natural bridge( its gone), butterfly farm, a catamaran sail or other boat cruise, fishing, Depalm island water park, desert tour, aloe plant tour, balashi beer plant tour, NOW...if you ask about restaurants you will get a flood of responses. Anyway, the place is great, never a bad time.....PERFECT as perfect can get.

If swimmers, great snorkeling. go to shorediving.com and Aruba. Many great snorkel sites. If not that advanced try one of the snorkel trips. Recommend tranquillo.com or funaruba.com. Beaches and water are fantastic.

We like the ostrich farm and the donkey sanctuary.

Both sets of rock formations are interesting as well.

Just the scenery is gorgeous in itself. Take a day and drive around the island, explore and see LOTS of things! Aruba is an island with many more 'off the beaten path' sights than 'top 10' sites. That's why I like it so much!

unlimited places and things to do

I have to completely disagree with you about hard to find to do and things to see. I think the island attracts a variety of people with a variety of needs and desires. If you enjoy laying on the beach or at the pool side there is a huge selection.

If you are active at night there are plenty of party spots, evening tours that are land and water based, and of course the casinos.

Now if you are into physical activities your options truly open up. If you have the appreciation of the naturalist the things to see are enormous. The recent rains will have changed the topography, enabled the flora and fauna to kick back in. Many people will stop by the side of the road and see very little others notice everything.

I have been to the island 3 times and with each seen new things. Since my last visit I have bee surfing the internet and come across even more things that I want to see and do on the island.

Below are just a few sites to get ideas from
