Aruba

We will be in Aruba from 11am to midnight. We have reservations with Trikes Aruba from 2-4. We want to visit Eagle Beach and dine somewhere nice...Any suggestions on how to get there from the port? Is there a place to clean up before dinner or should we consider going back to dine closer to the port? The Trikes excursion is kinda smack in the middle, so I'm not sure how to play out the day without knowing the time it takes to get from one place to the next.

Also, any recommendations on restaurants?

Trikes is an excellent excursion.

When we did it, we did the morning tour. It was very hot.

It was fine when you were riding but when stopped, pretty hot.

By the time we returned to port we returned right to the ship

and showered.

Keep this in mind when planning your day.

I would hit the beach or go back to the ship. I believe Trikes can advise you about the beach

Bring water with you from the ship, wear light clothes.

Eagle beach is just a short bus ride from the port. The bus station is just across the street from the port.
