- Casibari Rock Formations - Situated towards the center of Aruba, north of the Hooiberg, the Casibari Rock Formation is a popular tourist attraction, similar to the Ayo Rock Formations. The rocks are composed of quartz diorite.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Gold fever was a challenging condition that led many to dream of wealth, though few succeeded. Aruba experienced this phenomenon starting in the early 19th century. Initially, local men used shovels and picks for prospecting. From 1854, mining rights were granted to various professional companies, most of which struggled to profit. The Aruba Island Gold Mining Company constructed an elaborate mill on the northern coast in 1874, along with roads and a pier. The English company ceased operations in 1881, and by 1916, the gold rush had ended.
- Alto Vista Chapel - Built in 1952 on the site of Aruba’s first Catholic church, established in 1750 by Spanish missionary Domingo Antonio Silvestre, the bright yellow chapel is accessible via a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a serene place for peace and reflection, nestled in the Aruban countryside.
- California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - Located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on Aruba’s northwest tip, the California Lighthouse is named after the steamship California, which wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.
- Arashi Beach - Enjoy swimming at Aruba’s renowned Arashi Beach. Prefer not to swim? No worries, you can sunbathe, people-watch, or enjoy a drink at the Beach Bar.

Breathtaking - The tour guide was a native and really knew the island. He was so informative and patient as I was the last one to board the bus after each stop. The aloe factory was amazing and I was able to stock up on some of their finest products. All of the stops were great, and I was so thankful that this one ended up at a great beach, with a good restaurant with music. The best part was Peter our driver dropped all of the passengers off and allowed us time at the beach ended with a sunset.

It serves to get a sense of the island. - At first we had a misunderstanding with the departure time, and the driver was obfuscated because according to them we were not ready at the agreed time. But they put in the will to fix it. The tour itself is not so worth it, the only interesting thing is the Aloe Vera factory that I think you can do on your own and the time you get to be on the beach of Arashi which is beautiful! The rest is to go downstairs for a photo and nothing else, the driver explains while taking you, both in English and Spanish.

Bad - The excursion did not take place, the ship had docked 1/2 hour after the start of the excursion and the organizer allegedly could not wait, a refund did not take place.

Not worth it - We were told the wrong area to find the tour bus when we got off the ship. We were then redirected 3 times until we found the pickup place. The operator had already left. A local guide contacted the tour company and the driver was gracious enough to come back and pick us up so we were very appreciative. 1st stop was the Aloe Factory which was fantastic, followed by the rock formations. Again, great experience and this is when it turned for the worst. We learned more about his family, his daughter's German Shepards, how he was going to "petition the gov't tomorrow" on his day off for various person causes, including allowing people to climb all over the fort by the gold mine.... Very opinionated and didn't hesitate to share. Drove slower than molasses. He told us we would have an hour at the beach. By the end of the tour it was clear that we would have no time bc we needed to get back before boarding the ship. He gave a few people a hard time wanting to stay at the beach and having to come back and pick them up, even though that is what he said he would do. Once they left the bus he approached a few of the passengers and spoke negatively about those that asked to get off making comments about their nationality. Th route back the ship was one long strip of hotels in which we learned more about the hotels than the history and culture of Aruba.
We booked this experience to learn about Aruba from a local. The culture, the history, what makes the island so special. We were very disappointed in the quality of the tour and was anxious to finish, which was an hour later than anticipated. We would have been better off getting a taxi and exploring on our own. Very disappointed.
