Ayo Rock Formations
30 min

The Casibari Rock Formation is located on the island of Aruba, towards the center of the island north of the Hooiberg. The formation is a tourist attraction, similar to the Ayo Rock Formations. The rocks in the formation are composed of quartz diorite.

Bushiribana Ruins
30 min

Gold fever is a treacherous condition in which many men dream but few get rich. Aruba experienced this malady beginning in the early 19th century. Early prospectors were local men with shovels and picks. Starting in 1854, the rights to mine went to a successive list of professional companies who tried and usually failed to be profitable. One of them, the Aruba Island Gold Mining Company, built their elaborate mill on the northern coast in 1874 along with roads and a pier. The English company abandoned the smelting operation in 1881. By 1916, the gold rush was over.

Alto Vista Chapel
20 min

The chapel was built in 1952 on the site of the original, and first, Catholic church built in Aruba in 1750 by a Spanish missionary, Domingo Antonio Silvestre. The bright yellow chapel is reached by a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a special place for peace and contemplation, surrounded by the Aruban countryside.

Aruba Downtown Walking Tours
20 min

The California Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on the northwest tip of Aruba. This lighthouse was named for the steamship California, which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.

Not out of sight site seeing tour

The bus was crowded and we were the last to get picked up at our resort. Pick up was a half hour late. I wasn’t able to sit next to my daughter on the bus. Ricardo was our driver. He had a dry sense of humor which may be mistaken for being stand offish or even rude. Our bus was filled with menopausal overweight women who didn’t fit fully in their seats and couldn’t climb in and out of the bus or climb stairs very well which is required for this tour. The aloe museum and shop was amazing. Every other stop was rushed. The light house is not free as indicated on the ticket and two young guys were standing outside charging $6 admission per person so bring extra cash. Also there is an add on option apparently to get dropped off at the beach for an hour and then picked back up. I noticed only Spanish speaking people were offered this option. You may want to check out other alternative tours.
