Essential Travel Tips for Your Aruba Vacation

Aruba, known as the “One Happy Island,” is a favorite Caribbean destination for sun-seekers. To make your trip stress-free, here are essential travel tips:

• Currency: Aruba’s official currency is the Aruban Florin (AWG), but U.S. Dollars are widely accepted. Major credit cards are also welcome.

  
  

• Languages: The official languages are Dutch and Papiamento, but English and Spanish are commonly spoken, making communication easy.

  
  

• Drinking Water: Aruba’s tap water is safe to drink thanks to its modern desalination system.

• Best Time to Visit: The island enjoys year-round sunshine. The best weather is from January to April, with warm, dry days. May–August offers fewer crowds, while September–November is slightly hotter but still pleasant.

• Getting There from the USA: Direct flights connect Aruba with major U.S. cities like Miami, New York, Atlanta, and Boston.

• Passport Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport; no visa is required for short stays.

• Transportation: Renting a car is recommended if you want to explore beyond resorts, especially the rugged north coast. Otherwise, taxis and buses are reliable.

• Excursions: Popular activities include snorkeling at Baby Beach, exploring Arikok National Park, off-road jeep tours, sunset catamaran cruises, and visiting the famous flamingos at Renaissance Island.

• Airport Departure: Arrive at least 3 hours before your flight. Aruba offers U.S. Customs pre-clearance, so you’ll complete immigration before boarding.

With these tips, you’ll be ready to enjoy Aruba’s beaches, culture, and adventures without a hitch.
