Aruba Highlights Tour
Discover the historical and natural highlights of Aruba aboard an air conditioned bus.
Explore Aruba in an air-conditioned bus. Your friendly and professional tour guide will show you the attractions and natural landmarks of Aruba. You will make a visit to the Aloe Vera Factory and Museum. Aloe, first introduced to the island in 1840, became a very important part of Aruba's history. At one point Aruba was the largest exporter of Aloe in the world with almost two-thirds of the island covered in plants. You will have the opportunity to take a tour through the state-of-the-art Aruba Aloe Factory and learn more about its history in the adjacent museum. You'll also have the chance to marvel at Aruba's renowned natural marvel, the Casibari Rock Formations. These immense tonalite boulders form a captivating cluster, with walking trails and steps guiding hikers through them to reach the summit, where they can enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views. Next you will travel to Alto Vista Chapel. The chapel was built on the site of the first Catholic church built in Aruba in 1750 by a Spanish missionary. It is a special place for peace and contemplation, surrounded by the Aruban countryside. Your final stop will be at the famous California LightHouse, named after a ship called the Californian, which has the distinction of having received distress signals from the Titanic as she went down in icy waters in 1912. This area offers some of the most beautiful scenic views of Aruba. Please Note: Ships arriving at or before 8:00 AM must select the 8:30 AM tour time.
