Fun half day with a great tour guide - Such a fun way to spend a morning/early afternoon! We loved the donkeys and the ostrich farm was pretty cool, though our favorite part was our guide Danny! So knowledgeable about the island, great driving, and super attentive. Our least favorite spot was Philip’s Animal Garden because there were only rare signs indicating the species and also would have loved to know which animals are rescues vs being purchased for a petting zoo. That being said, we really enjoyed feeding the goats and other animals there (good variety).

Donkeys, Ostriches, et al - It was a marvelous experience. The staff was knowledgeable and anxious to share with visitors. Have been to Aruba many times and somehow missed this stop. Each place was fascinating.

Great for animal lovers! - Great tour of three animal places! Danny, our driver, was fantastic. Gave us some interesting facts about the island as we drove from place to place. You can feed animals at all of the places. Get the shaved ice at the ostrich farm! Plan for 5 hours.

Donkeys, ostriches, monkeys, turtles, goats...ay tour - Our EL TOURS bus driver was friendly, knowledgeable and caring.We enjoyed the halfday tour of 3 Animal sanctuaries (Donkey, ostrich and Phillips had multiple animals). He picked us up on SATURDAY FEB 7th around 9:15 and we were back before 2pm and it included all admissions, there were no extra costs and we had enough time at each stop
TIP: Bring a bag of sliced apples and carrot sticks and wear a hat and sunscreen.
The OSTRICH and emu farm facility and tour lady (brown hair and former Dutch military) was the BEST! They had a surprisingly elegant, shade-covered large pavilion-RESTAURANT (open 11am-2:30 pm approx w chalkboard menu).
It could be a great Venue for a birthday party or other celebration ). You can order a ostrich egg meal that feeds 6 people or a single sandwich, frozen treats use restroom, gift shop and also see parrots, ducks, peacocks, turkeys......
At Phillips they had a wide variety of animals and the large tortoise, kangaroos,miniature and baby goats and monkeys were fun to see.
The scenery on the way to each place was also enjoyable. You can also arrange a UTV tour from their office at Phillips.

Great for animal lovers - We did the animal sanctuary guided tour during our cruise stop a couple of days ago. Our guide Danny was wonderful! He would point out highlights and offer history and information when appropriate. He knew lots about each stop and fully informed us about what to expect at each place. Bonus points for always having cold water available. We didn't like the Phillips Animal Garden as much. It felt a little too much like a zoo but they did have lots of animals. The donkey sanctuary was our favorite. The ostrich farm was very interesting with good guides. This is a great tour for animal lovers.

Overall worthwhile - I guess I could have done without the donkey sanctuary. It does support the operation but if you've seen one ass you've seen 'em all. The ostrich farm provided a tour which gave a lot of interesting information. The Phillip's Animal Garden had a wide variety of tropical animals. Although not included in this tour, I can recommend The Butterfly Farm near Eagle beach.
