Aruba

Natural Wonders of Aruba (Approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours)

From your cruise ship's dock you will board an air conditioned motorcoach which will take you on a scenic trip to Aruba's #1 ecological attraction: "The Butterfly Farm." Here you will be able to observe the lifecycle of these beautiful insects from eggs to caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. Your tour guide will fill you in on all of the details and miracles of this fascinating animal's metamorphosis. From here it's on to another natural wonder the "Ayo Rock Formation." The Ayo Rocks are large boulders that depict the origin of Aruba and it's past history of volcanic activity. After that you will be taken to Atuba's natural land bridge.The bridge rises 25 feet into the air and it is made of solid coral which the pounding surf has carved into this formation which spans 100 feet of rushing water. The rest of the tour consists of a trip to the Gold Mill Ruins at Boca Mahos where you will have the chance to explore them, and a final stop in Aruba's capital city: Oranjestad. Here you can choose to do some shopping or return to your cruise ship.

*Note: If you choose to do shopping in Oranjestad after the tour you will be responsible for your return to the ship. Some of the stops may not be fully wheelchair accessible.
