Things to do in Aruba

Hi all, I've been a few times but looking for something new to do there, as we seem to do the same ole things. We'll be up by the Marriott Ocean Club.

Any restaurant recommendations.

I expect we'll spend plenty of time on the beach, hanging on the boardwalk, maybe a little casino time, shopping down the center, Madame Janette's for dinner and maybe Fish bones. I'll probably scuba dive a day.

We've done the jeep tour around the island, the natural bridge and it's remains, the kookoo kanoo bus (decades ago), the pirate boat, depalma island snorkeling

ATV'ing on the island was incredibly fun, like you go from tropical beach to the dessert in 20 minutes, was an absolute blast.

Snorkeling as well, and of course, one must visit the Flamingo's! Big attraction there.

As a fellow diver, try night diving in Aruba, will be a departure from your normal diving there.

Good idea. I did it once in Bonaire but it freaked me out when everyone got excited about the tarpon eating Nemo. "Shine the light on the fish" they said.

That is a good one. Thanks. One day left I expect we're too late but I'll try.

I love ATVs and had one for a few years. I think I'm too risk averse to do it a million miles from my boston hospitals, especially with my wife (she goes full throttle)



Snorkeling as well, and of course, one must visit the Flamingo's! Big attraction there.

We did see some this week and did snorkel around a bit but couldn't see a thing by our hotel. We probably should have hit up a DePalm snorkel tour.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I lost track of this post somehow
