Best Family Activities in Aruba
Beyond the beach and pool, Aruba offers excellent family activities: the Atlantis submarine (no swimming required, great for all ages), snorkelling tours at Boca Catalina (calm and shallow water), the Natural Pool jeep safari (adventurous and memorable), and Baby Beach in the south (the calmest, shallowest water on the island, perfect for toddlers). The Aruba Butterfly Farm near Palm Beach is also popular with younger children.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the best area to stay in Aruba?
Palm Beach suits people who want restaurants, nightlife and the high-rise resorts within walking distance. Eagle Beach is quieter and low-rise with a wider beach. Oranjestad puts you near the cruise port and the capital.
When are Aruba hotel rates lowest?
Rates drop from May through early December, often well below the January to April peak. That period also brings the calmest seas and the smallest crowds.
Are Aruba hotels all-inclusive?
Only some of them. Aruba has fewer all-inclusive properties than neighbouring islands because its restaurant scene is strong, so many visitors deliberately book room-only and eat out.
Can I cancel a hotel booking?
Most Aruba properties offer free cancellation on standard rates, usually up to a few days before arrival. Compare the flexible rate against the prepaid one before you commit.
