Unfortunately our trip was canceled the night before;we were told not enough people signed up! Bummer as we really wanted to see baby beach
This was a great tour! We got picked up from our hotel, which is still new and small so that was great. Our driver, Marry, was so nice and funny! It was just me, my friend, and a father/daughter on the tour so she stopped at a local grocery market for us to buy apples and carrots for the donkeys. She said we’d have 15-20 minutes at the donkey sanctuary, but we def had more. The aloe factory was super interesting and had lots of great products. It’s always nice to see tour guides have relationships with the staff throughout the tour stops. The donkey farm was amazing! Literally donkeys everywhere. And there were also several peacocks around! Lastly, we had time at baby beach from around 12-2:30, which was just enough time to swim and relax. Me and my friend rented beach chairs for $15 each, as there is NO SHADE OR CHAIRS at baby beach otherwise. There are several palapas that are first come first serve- all chairs MUST BE RENTED. All in all a great tour and I’d reccomend this company!
Our tour guide Marry was fantastic. Very informative and made our visit great.
Felt like a taxi service to baby beach . Thought because of the pictures the bus would stop at landmarks to take pictures but it didn’t.
Water was provided which was nice. About 2.5 hrs at Baby Beach which was perfect. Time for lunch and some sun and swimming.
Our tour guide was personable and extremely proud of his Island, so full marks there. Unfortunately, an excursion described as an express ride to a beach included a 1 hour stop at an aloe vera factory (boring), a half hour stop at the donkey sanctuary followed by a half hour drive to the beach: elapsed time, 2 hours.
Did realize no shade available at Baby Beach. Donkey sanctuary was fun. Aloe factory very interesting
We had a great experience. Just enough time at aloe and donkey farm. Could have used a little bit longer at baby beach. We were there 2.5 hours. 3 hours would have been perfect. Mary was our tour guide. She was great and had a great sense of humor. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent trip with an even better guide. Mary was the best - considerate, knowledgable and had a great sense of humor. I loved leaning about the aloe factory and efforts that the island had taken to care for the donkeys at the sanctuary. It was our second time to baby beach and it was as beautiful as the first. Highly recommend!
Our guide, Curtis, was fantastic, very nice, and funny. The tour was greart because he told us about the island and the people in Aruba. Our hotel was far from Baby Beach, so we saw a lot of the island. We loved the aloe factory and the cute donkeys. But the fact that we saw a lot of the island helped us figure out what else we wanted to do. Great your, great price. Thank you.
