The Place

Many who visit Aruba travel to find a nice sunny spot on the beach and do as little as possible. That's perfectly fine, but you could also go hiking on Mount Scenery, deep-sea diving in Bonaire, bicycling around Simpson Bay, and salsa dancing in Santa Cruz. You could tour Aruba aboard the Atlantis Submarine and you can check out the volcanic Mount Hooiberg. Surprisingly, there's much more to do on Aruba vacations than just lying on a beach getting tan, like most people have come to expect.
