Embrace your daring side with a wide array of exciting extreme vacation experiences, many of which are unique to Aruba!
Aruba is world-famous for its exquisite beaches, calm waters, and laid-back vibe, but it also provides a rich variety of adventure-packed land and sea activities to satisfy any level of thrill-seeker. Aruba’s coral reefs, intriguing landforms, and constant 15-knot trade winds have made it a hotspot destination for some of the most exhilarating and unique extreme vacation activities in the Caribbean.
Scale the Ayo and Casibari Rock Formations or explore the “wild side” of Aruba in Arikok National Park, where you’ll find rolling hills of cacti, dramatic coastlines, and ancient caves. Challenge yourself on one of the many hiking and bike trails, or add a little extra adrenaline with some high-intensity off-roading in a jeep or on an ATV.
Thanks to our constant trade winds, Aruba is ranked as one of the best places in the world to windsurf and kitesurf. Join the locals as they slice through the glassy water and perform aerial tricks at Fisherman’s Huts and Boca Grandi. You can also enjoy unparalleled parasailing, jet skiing, sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and much more.
If the deep blue sea calls, book a deep-sea fishing excursion and catch your own dinner.
Add a scuba diving trip or a snorkel adventure to your itinerary. Aruba’s entire south coast is a coral reef, with over 20 dive sites and 11 diver-friendly wrecks, such as sunken planes, a cargo ship, and warships. In fact, Aruba has been called the wreck-diving capital of the Caribbean.
Take it up a notch by skydiving and catching one of the most breathtaking views you’ve ever seen.
