The night, start to finish

How it works

In short, that is three steps and no more. So nobody stands in the street at 1am trying to find a ride home.

01

We collect you

Whether you are in Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Oranjestad, the cruise terminal or a private rental, we will come to you. Additionally, the car is unmarked, clean and air-conditioned. Then it is about 40 minutes down.

02

A local stays with you

Meanwhile your guide stays beside you, and explains how the area works, what is normal and what things cost. Furthermore, he speaks English, Papiamento, Spanish and Dutch.

03

Straight home

Then, whenever you are ready. Because the car is yours for the window you booked, nobody else is waiting on it that night.

Description

Description

San Nicolas sits at the far southeast end of Aruba, well past Oranjestad and a long way from the Palm Beach and Eagle Beach hotels. Most visitors never see it after dark, because getting there and back at night means either keeping a rental car for the evening or arranging two separate taxi runs. This tour covers both directions.

What the night covers

  • Round-trip transport. We pick you up at your hotel and bring you back at the end of the night.
  • Charlie’s Bar. The San Nicolas institution whose walls and ceiling are covered end to end in decades of donated memorabilia.
  • The town’s other bars and nightlife. Stops around the centre of San Nicolas.
  • The street art. San Nicolas is covered in large-scale murals that have turned the old refinery town into Aruba’s street-art district.

Price and how the deposit works

$385 for the whole group, not per person. You pay $192.50 here to hold the date. The remaining $192.50 is paid in cash on the night. Nothing else is charged online.

Pickup and drop-off

Give us your hotel at checkout and we will confirm your pickup time. Drop-off is back at the same place unless you ask for somewhere else.

Good to know

Drinks are not included — you settle your own tab at each stop. This is a private run for your group rather than a shared coach tour.

Book direct · no booking fees

Our own bookings, if you need them

Run by us and local operators we work with directly. A small deposit online holds it, and you settle the rest on the day.

What the district is actually like.

It covers only a few streets in San Nicolas, broadly around Charlie’s Bar, and holds somewhere between fifteen and twenty small bars. However, it is nothing like De Wallen in Amsterdam. There are no lit windows and nobody is on display. Instead the bars operate as bars, and the rooms sit upstairs. Most places run Monday to Saturday, generally from about 7pm until 2am, so the area is quiet early and busier after ten. Aruba follows the Dutch approach, and therefore sex work is legal but tightly regulated: workers must be registered, health requirements apply, and the trade stays confined to this one part of San Nicolas. Because of that, there is nothing comparable in Oranjestad, Palm Beach or Eagle Beach. By day, though, San Nicolas is simply a town of murals, lunch and Baby Beach a few minutes further on.

What we are, plainly.

We are a transport and tour guide service, and that is all. You pay us for the drive and for a local guide beside you. We are paid by you and by nobody else. We take no commission, fee or kickback from any bar, club or venue, we have no arrangement or deal with any of them, and we earn nothing whatsoever from sex work. Where you go and what you do there is entirely your own choice and your own arrangement.
Naturally, adults 18 and over only. In other words, we are a guide and transport service and nothing more. We are not affiliated with, and do not represent, any bar, venue or establishment.Meanwhile onehappyisland.com handles the booking and takes the payment.
