Bon Bini:
Welcome to Aruba
The Original Official Homepage
of the Aruba Tourism Authority
Aruba
has one of the highest rates of repeat visitors anywhere in
the Caribbean. What continues to draw people back over and
over again is the great pride and care that Arubans take to
ensure that tourists have everything they could possibly need
to make their stay both enjoyable and exciting. Arubans are
famous for their friendliness and hospitality. The climate
is perpetually sunny and welcoming, and great care has been
taken to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the environment.
The tourist industry here is extremely well-organized,
developed, and diversified, catering to a wide variety of different
interests. Those who prefer privacy can find a secluded stretch
of beach or
go exploring through the countryside on
their own, while those who are more outgoing can take advantage
of Aruba's vibrant nightlife,
the casinos,
the discotheques, the different theme parties, the music and
folkloric festivals. Those interested in another kind of wildlife
 can go bird-watching
in a protected sanctuary or take a tour of a coconut plantation
or hike through the Arikok
National Park tracking the island's exotic flora and fauna.
Sports enthusiasts can go scuba-diving in
any of the 42 different diving sites, engage the incredible
island winds by windsurfing, rent
water-skis or parasails, or charter a boat and go deep-sea
fishing. The island offers three golf
courses, one of which is professional caliber, an ATP sanctioned
tennis center, racquetball courts, trails to go horseback riding,
even several bowling alleys. The different hotels provide
a whole range of activities for singles, honeymoon couples,
and families with children. Whatever kind of vacation you are
looking for, the odds are you will be able to find it in Aruba.
Climate
Aruba enjoys a dry and sunny climate which
is kept pleasant and temperate year-round due to the cooling
effects of the trade winds. The average annual temperature
is 83 degrees Fahrenheit (27 Celsius), and rainfall amounts
to just 17 inches a year, most of which occurs during
the months of October, and November. Aruba is located
well below the hurricane belt. |
