If you go to the caverns, you DO NOT have to pay anything. The people at the booths there are renting you flashlights. If you just bring a flashlight, you can walk in free. By the way, the caverns are pretty uninteresting - and very hot. Also fairly treacherous. Spelunking through the "Tunnel of Love" made me want to hurt my husband.
Bring a flashlight or two. Wear good shoes and something you don't care about getting dirty. The roads out there are treacherous. Also, the path is pretty steep and narrow at times. Again with the hot and dusty and not very interesting, at least in the Tunnel of Love. We didn't try the others. Leave a Comment

Not necessarily a trap, but if you are adventurous, don't take the guided jeep tour - about $60 per person. It is only $45/day to rent your own jeep and follow the points of interest. It was great not to have to be rushed at the sites, and a lot cheaper. The rental car agencies provide maps which are great at outlining the sites to see. Oh, roads are not marked to clearly, so you may get lost a time or two, but we discovered some great stuff that way. It takes about 6-8 hours to tour the whole island depending on how many stops you make and how long you stayed. Jeep tours do not go to the Tunnel of Love or Baby Beach which were great spots to stop and relax for a swim

You really do not see that much fish. All you get is a big old ship and a few sponges. It is not worth the $70
go to the beach and snorkel or scuba Leave a Comment

If you come in the rainy season, well you will get wet, it isn't always just sunshine on the island. And when it rains it will rain, so be prepared. Leave a Comment

Be very,very carefully when it rains at us.
Roads get as slippery as iced in your country.
This is because the asfalt is much denser and a small film of oil by a lack of frequent showers.
Water and Money
evaporate very fast
on this Island.
Euro-tourist, Aruba is into the Dollar Zone.
Buy your groceries at a supermarket, not at the mini market in your hotel which is more expensive.
Picture: PRIKICHI'S or our local Parkeets. Best time to see and surely hear them: sunset. Leave a Comment

Not a tourist trap but a civil trap...we get elections in Aruba at the end of september.
2 big parties MEP and AVP (Movemiento Electoral di Pueblo and Arubaanse Volks Partij) 2 smaller OLA and PPA have a lot of chance to deal the votes.
But politics has only a little bit to do with sense.
Most is about a carnavalesque atmosphere where flags in all sizes play the major role.
Also a lot of wheeling and dealing is involved. Seriously, mister 'W' could learn something here...
Pictured is the city town, knowed as Cas Arends, in center of O'stad. Just renovated and by coincidence,
the color of the major party in power. (AVP) Leave a Comment

Most of the shopping areas are tourist traps, but you can usually get some good deals.
This is the inside of the Sonesta. Leave a Comment

Beaware that prices at mini markets in the lobby of the resorts are pretty much expensive than when buying it out of the resort. Grocery prices at Aruba's Mega Supermarkets such as Kong Hing Super Center, Ling & Sons Supermarket and Certified Mega Center are comparable or a bit lower than grocery prices in the U.S. The above mentioned Supermarkets are all located in a cluster next to the resort area.

iguanas - oh they say you can see bunch of them... I spent 5 weeks on Aruba and I saw 2 (in words two) iguanas, out of which one was flat - killed by a car. But they are beautiful.... Leave a Comment

natural bridge - a must see place according to tourist information. This bridge created by the ocean and weather and erosion looks wonderful on pictures. It looks wonderful in reality as well, however about 20 times smaller. Besides that you can find at least 6 other (only a tiny bit smaller) natural bridges around the north shore... Leave a Comment
