aussie-sailor Posted June 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2018 We were very impressed with the tourist information booth at the port where we received valuable information about the local bus service. For $5 you can purchase a return ticket to one of the best beaches about 20 minutes away. If you wish to stop off you can pay $2.60 for a 3rd trip directly on the bus. Originally we intended to do that but were satisfied with seeing the other beaches on the way and stayed for a couple of hours at the one beach, Arashi. Very beautiful, with great snorkelling or just beach visit. The bus trip itself was enjoyable as we passed lots of amazing resorts and lovely beaches. After having done island tours at the other 2 islands, we were content in Aruba with this bus trip, beach visit and walk through the town on return.

I completely agree with you - next time we go this is exactly what we plan to do. We visited Arashi as part of a tour last time and I found it delightful!

knbcruisers Posted June 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2018 We didn’t go as far as Arashi, but the beach we stopped at was was beautiful, near Palm Beach. The best part was we took a privately run van back to the port and it was great. Our driver recited his poetry for us and talked about island politics! I love when we can get local experiences like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryG Posted July 1, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Correct. We've vacationed in Aruba a dozen times and love it. We knew where to get the bus and went to Palm Beach. There's no trouble finding a place to rent a chair and umbrella. If I remember correctly, in front of the Hyatt is where we rented our loungers from and they even work with the hotel to bring you food if you want. Much cheaper way to get to one of Aruba's best beaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_ens Posted July 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Never thought of the bus. Me, wife and two kids cabbed to Palm Beach and back for $20. Lovely beach (wife's favorite) and great people! Planning to go back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
