Michael A. Jr. Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Asking a question here, what excursions do you recommend in Aruba or Curacao? My wife works with AMResorts, so she could get a day pass for my family in Curacao, as they have a resort there. I just want to find other places there maybe as well. I also want to know some good places in Aruba also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swar Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 We rented a car in Curacao last time and are doing it again next week. You can explore on your own for @$100 for the car. We had 4 people and one excursion would have been more than the car. We had snorkeling gear and hit a few beaches. No car in Aruba for us. There is a bus station really close to the port. Going to a beach with a restaurant over the water. Michael A. Jr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki007 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 In curaçao we hired a driver for the day (Eddie) at the taxi stand right off the ship. We had 8 people, total cost was $200/family. He stayed with us all day, gave us a tour of the island and took us to some amazing beaches. The highlight was snorkeling with sea turtles. We have been to Aruba before, lots of great snorkeling spots, or just take a cab to eagle beach. We rented golf carts in Bonaire. Not much to do there other than snorkel. Few food options. We got back on the ship early. WAAAYTOOO and Michael A. Jr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 I would suggest going to a beach at least once. The drive-around-the-island tours get old - one is probably enough. Some beaches are accessible by bus in addition to taxi, and other members have posted about day passes at local resorts. Curacao and Aruba are walkable downtown or to nearby shopping. Michael A.

Jillbus Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I rented a car in Aruba and visited several beaches and also made a dinner reservation at a local restaurant. Took a catmaran cruise before dinner. LOVED Aruba. Curacao, took a bus tour that stopped for lunch and snorkeling. Curacao is hands down one of my favorite ports, so gorgeous and the snorkeling was phenomenal! WAAAYTOOO and Michael A. Jr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
