Have you looked into ABC-tours or Wix tours? both offer buses OR jeeps.

 

Joe and I are doing a jeep tour using ABC tours for half a day- 9am- 1pm.

The jeeps hold 12 people each and we want a guide= not a driver from the ship.

 

 

Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, Natural Bridge, Ostrich Farm, Natural Pool, Arikok National Park, Jamanota Hill and swimming and snorkeling at the famous Natural Pool

 

I asked about taking a 9 month old baby and they told me it wont be a problem. But would ask to see if they can accomadate your needs.

PATJUD,

 

This past Dec. DW and I did the "Aruba's Sailaway Beach Cruise" through Destiny's Excursion desk.

 

As the brochure states, the cruise is about 5 hours long. You are picked up right at the dock. You sail along the coast past all the hotels then drop anchor at Arachi Beach near the Cal. Lighthouse. Snorkeling there was good, the water clear. I found the coral to be somewhat bleached, however there were lots of fish.

 

A short boat ride brings you to the sunken ship Antilla. Very cool !!

 

From there you go to Pelican Adventure's boat dock for a lunch and to spend time on the beach.

 

There is open bar after the snorkeling part is done.

 

The price was $78 pp in Dec. You could check Carnival's website for latest prices.

 

I would recommend this if you like to snorkel. It's a great way to see the coastline.

 

Feel free to ask any questions.

 

Happy cruising!!
