Activity itinerary

California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes
  • 10m
Your first stop will be at the California Lighthouse, where you'll learn where this landmark got its name and what unfortunate events transpired to prompt the construction of the lighthouse in the first place! Note: This 0.5+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Aruba in 2-3 hours.
Boca Catalina Beach
  • 10m
After that you'll spot Catalina Cove, a favourite spot for sea turtles to lay eggs and, by extension, a favourite spot for seagulls looking for their next meal.
Alto Vista Chapel
  • 10m
Continuing on, you'll pass by Alto Vista Chapel, which has roots all the way back in the 18th century!
Casibari Rock Formations
  • 10m
The next big landmark you'll see is the Casibari Rock Formation. These huge volcanic boulders really stand out against the rest of the landscape!
Ayo Rock Formations
  • 10m
Your route will take you next to the Ayo Rock Formation, a strange and slightly alien-looking formation which the Arawak believed had spiritual significance. It even sports petroglyphs dating back thousands of years!
Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins
  • 10m
Your first stop will be at the Bushiribana Gold Mill, a remnant of the Aruba gold industry dating back to the 1800s.
Donkey Sanctuary Aruba
  • 10m
Continuing on, you'll arrive at one of Aruba's cutest and most unusual attractions: the Donkey Sanctuary! This volunteer organisation takes care of over 100 donkeys which descended from animals brought by early Spanish colonizers.
Balashi Gold Mill Ruins
  • 10m
After that is the Balashi Gold Mill, another relic of Aruba's gold rush. This bit of history hasn't been active for a long time, but its skeleton remains.
Hooiberg

Finally, you'll arrive at the Hooiberg Lookout. Standing at 541 feet above sea level, this rocky formation boasts unbelievable views of the island and the water below... for anyone willing to climb its 600 steps, that is!
