Active Adventures in Aruba

Hotel gyms are so... indoors! Aruba has an island-worth of adventures to help you unwind and stay fit. From thrilling activities such as windsurfing and kitesurfing to relaxing activities such as snorkeling and standup paddleboarding, there's plenty of ways to burn calories while taking in the beautiful scenery.

Windsurfing & Kitesurfing
Take to the seas and let the wind be your guide as you go windsurfing or kitesurfing. Aruba's year-round trade winds make the island one of the best windsurfing destinations in the world. Whether you're a beginner looking to try something new or an expert ready to see where the wind can take you, Aruba's sparkling waters are the perfect place to hop on a board.

Diving & Snorkeling
Kick up your fins and explore the underwater cities of Aruba's coral reefs. Aruba's entire south coast is a coral reef, with more than 20 dive sites and 11 diver-friendly wrecks such as planes, a cargo ship and sunken war ships. Whether your style is diving deep or snorkeling on the surface, get ready to say hello to a world of tropical fish and friendly turtles.

Mountain Biking
Cactus in the Caribbean? That's right! Aruba's desert landscape is dotted with cactus and set against striking turquoise seas, giving you quite the scenic contrast as you bike the trails of the secluded northeast coast. Flat terrain and cooling trade winds make mountain biking enjoyable for all. Bike to the California Lighthouse and be rewarded with some of the best views on the island.

Standup Paddleboarding
Get your arms and abs ready as you paddle your way across Aruba's calm, clear waters - you may even feel as though you're walking on water! Most popular in the Palm Beach area, this activity is perfect for those looking for a relaxing daytime activity before an evening of dazzling nightlife and world-class dining. Yoga enthusiasts can also take their practice to the sea for a yoga class held on paddleboards.

From couples looking for romance to families to soak up the sun, Aruba is an island of endless relaxation and adventure. Contact your Land and Cruise Specialist, Annette Wick of Cruise Planners to plan your Aruba vacation.
