Adventure in Aruba

Kaweta. It means “curious” in Papiamento, and it’s the perfect word to describe Aruba’s spirit of adventure.

Outdoor Adventure in Aruba: Feel the Aruba Effect

Sure, Aruba’s beaches are known around the world. But look just beyond their pristine white sands and you’ll find an island teeming with adventure - on and off the water. If wonder is what you seek, Aruba will take you for a ride.

Indulge your wild side by windsurfing, kitesurfing, or cruising on a catamaran above the clear, calm turquoise waves. Or scuba dive and snorkel through the reefs and shipwrecks beneath them. The warm southern Caribbean sea has graced Aruba with world-class watersports.

Head inland and you’ll find even more to experience. Tour the caves and ancient boulders of Arikok National Park by foot, horseback, or vehicle. Dive headfirst into the tranquil depths of “Conchi,” a hidden natural pool. It’s easy to wander our whole island discovering happy adventures.
