ALL day itinerary in Aruba?

Hi all, we're headed to Aruba in October and will be in port from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. I'm excited about being in a port that long and want to make the most of my time, but not spend a fortune.

I've been checking out ABC Tours daylong jeep safari, but I'm worried about the ride being rough for SO long; I've also read some of the reviews regarding safety concerns with inexperienced drivers. Just not sure I want to commit to something for 9.5 - 10 hours.

I've also looked at the Trikes (about same price as daylong tour above), but it's only 3.5 hours. Plus, we have a Harley so I'm not sure that would be as exciting to us.

There is also the option of jeep/car rental, and touring the island on our own and visiting several beaches.

Can anyone suggest a daylong itinerary?

Thanks in advance! I appreciate your help!

I would stick with ABC, 9.5hrs they are probably going to start at California Lighthouse and finish at Baby Beach, you’ll see the whole east side of the island.

stay somewhere to watch the sun set- stay and watch the show the sky puts on

Been to many places and never seen a sunset so amazing in my life

I think you can rent a Harley there and go on your own. If you considered the trike it may be worth looking into. Enjoy the sunset!

We are renting a car. That way we can stop where we want for as long as we want. Also less than the cost of a tour.

Which beach is the best for viewing the sunset from?

They are all great. You can even see it from downtown.

We're interested in renting a car also, but not sure where to go. Any tips?

simply google "Aruba car Rental", there are literally several dozen options, all very similar

We are looking for a beach we can go to on our own that has loungers, palapas and drink service in Curacao or Aruba
