DDaley Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I have not yet been myself but I have been taking notes when I see other people ask this question as I'm booked to the ABC's in April 2022! The coolest thing I have seen suggested is to rent your own quad ATV in Aruba - 8hrs for only $240 for a 2-seater. Any excursion that lets you ride ATVs in Aruba is way more for a shorter time period, although you'll lose the benefit of a tour guide. Here are some scenic spots you can cruise to in your quad: Baby Beach, Eagle Beach, Palm Beach, California Light House, Alto Vista Chapel and the Casibari Rock Formation https://www.arubaatv.com/#/rentals/rental-car4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think my wife will notice that B is missing??? Only if she's a diver or snorkeling fan. Bonaire it THE place to dive or snorkel among the three.

fa-li Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Woodwind snorkel in Bonaire is the best and books up months in advance. If you want to spoiled with a perfect drift snorkel, book them as soon as you know your port date. DDaley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Nothing specific for a solo guest. The ABC islands are a very relaxed destination absent of pushy or aggressive street vendors found on some islands. On Curacao it's an easy walk along the shore to the downtown area across a floating pedestrian bridge. Very picturesque. Bonaire is known for snorkeling. Aruba docks near a city type center with bars and restaurants nearby. Bonaire is least developed or feels that way. Aruba and Curacao have a lot to offer really dependent on what you are into. If you have a late stay consider taking in the sunset from a beach, a rare treat for cruise guests since most sunsets are observed from the ship. I was thankful I had a working cell phone to call a taxi with a late stay on Bonaire. The roads are lightly traveled later in the day so flagging a taxi down was difficult.
