Itinerary

Aruba Aloe Factory, Museum and Store
45 min

The Aloe Museum is a museum in Aruba. A tour of the museum and factory provides insight into the Aruba aloe production process, along with the 160-year history of aloe cultivation in Aruba.

Casibari 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.

Arashi Beach
60 min

Take some time for swimming at Aruba's famous Arashi Beach. Don't want to swim? No problem, you can do some tanning, people watching or have a drink at the Beach Bar.

Great way to Explore Aruba!

Outstanding tour of the island with Peter as our driver. He did a wonderful job telling us about the island while taking us from place to place. The Aloe factory was interesting and just getting out to see the island and hear about its history was relaxing and enjoyable. After the tour I discovered that I had left my phone on the tour bus. Considering I use it for work, I was quite concerned. Edna went above and beyond the call of duty in getting it shipped to me and answering my many inquiries in a polite and professional manner. I would most definitely tour with them again.

Bad

The excursion did not take place, the ship had docked 1/2 hour after the start of the excursion and the organizer allegedly could not wait, a refund did not take place.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Sie Ihre Tour aufgrund der Verspätung Ihres Kreuzfahrtschiffes verpasst haben. Leider ist es uns jedoch nicht möglich, alle anderen Gäste warten zu lassen, wenn ein Schiff verspätet ankommt, da dies den gesamten Ablauf und die Erfahrung für die anderen Teilnehmer erheblich beeinträchtigen würde. Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir in solchen Fällen selbstverständlich eine Rückerstattung anbieten. Wir möchten Sie daher bitten, uns eine E-Mail an info@eltoursaruba.com mit Ihren Buchungsdetails zu senden, damit wir die Rückerstattung schnellstmöglich für Sie veranlassen können.

Peter was our tour guide. He did an excellent job. Funny. Informative. We were later getting started. Another bus broke down and we picked up other tourists. Didn’t get to spend much time at sites. Bus was clean. Enjoyed our tour.

Not worth it

We were told the wrong area to find the tour bus when we got off the ship. We were then redirected 3 times until we found the pickup place. The operator had already left. A local guide contacted the tour company and the driver was gracious enough to come back and pick us up so we were very appreciative. 1st stop was the Aloe Factory which was fantastic, followed by the rock formations. Again, great experience and this is when it turned for the worst. We learned more about his family, his daughter's German Shepards, how he was going to "petition the gov't tomorrow" on his day off for various person causes, including allowing people to climb all over the fort by the gold mine.... Very opinionated and didn't hesitate to share. Drove slower than molasses. He told us we would have an hour at the beach. By the end of the tour it was clear that we would have no time bc we needed to get back before boarding the ship. He gave a few people a hard time wanting to stay at the beach and having to come back and pick them up, even though that is what he said he would do. Once they left the bus he approached a few of the passengers and spoke negatively about those that asked to get off making comments about their nationality. Th route back the ship was one long strip of hotels in which we learned more about the hotels than the history and culture of Aruba. We booked this experience to learn about Aruba from a local. The culture, the history, what makes the island so special. We were very disappointed in the quality of the tour and was anxious to finish, which was an hour later than anticipated. We would have been better off getting a taxi and exploring on our own. Very disappointed.
