Aruba & Curacao

[Mike L]

Does anyone have suggestions for excursions to take for these stops?

you can usually pick up a fair tour when you get off the ship. I would do snorkeling in Aruba and maybe just sight seeing in Curacoa..Shopping is fun on both islands..

I haven't been to the Caribbean in a few years, but I believe, if memory serves me right, that there is a nice butterfly farm in Aruba that might be worth a visit. Snorkeling is also always a good bet.

Curacao is a great place for a tour, as well as for beach activities.

In most Caribbean ports, I usually don't book ship excursions, generally preferring to just disembark and see what the portside vendors are offering. Usually you can pick up a nice half-day tour or snorkeling excursion at a really good price ... one that will have you back to the ship well before sailing time.

In Aruba, we took an island tour which included an ostrich farm. There were many great sights, natural bridge, tivi-tivi trees, rock climbing, etc. Sounds corney, but the tour was very interesting. I think it was the only tour that included the ostrich farm. I highly recommend it.
