Thanks!! I used your video to find the bus last week and it worked out great!
Thanks for your comment! We are glad the video helped!!
Thank you ! U answered my exact question. Will be there in June. Looks like we are doing same itineraries 😁
Have fun! You will not be disappointed!
Thanks for this video. We're going on Carnival Celebration to the ABC islands next September, and we'll definitely be spending a chunk of the day at Eagle Beach.
Eagle Beach is fantastic.
The sand is so soft!
Make sure to go all the way to the right and get a photo with the Divi tree.
@@cruisingwithcrystal Oh yeah, we'll probably hang out more on that end anyway. Can't wait!
You can walk it to Eagle Beach in 15 minutes. Just turn left at the main road. Great for some exercise and no waiting around for a Bus.
Thanks for the video we will be on the horizon in March and was looking for an inexpensive way to get to Eagle beach
Eagle Beach is fantastic. The sand sis so soft. The water is such an amazing color of blue.
Hi, and thank you so much for doing this "real time" video on the bus ride from the Bus Terminal by the Cruise Port in Aruba to the RIU Aruba Hotel and Aruba Hilton. I've heard that taking a taxi in Aruba is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE! QUESTION¹: How much time did it take to get from the Bus Terminal to the Aruba Hilton? QUESTION²: How much time did you have to enjoy yourselves at the Hilton Resort before heading back to jump on the bus and get back on the Cruise ship? QUESTION³: Where did you learn about the price of $130.00 for a "Day Pass" at the Aruba RIU Hotel? Thanks in advance .... keep up the great work? 👍😎
It is about a ten minute ride
Cab is about $ 5 per person + Tip
We had 14 hours in Aruba
An employee at the Hilton told me the price at the RIU
Pass is $155 now
I'm still pre planning me a birthday cruise nxt yr to go to Aruba and grand turk and Bonaire
I love all three of those ports
Can you purchase a day pass at that booth? So we should have plenty of small US bills? Credit card at a booth an option for a day ticket?
I just come across your video , we are going to Aruba on the vista in April, did you have purchase a day pass through the Hilton to go to eagle beach, if so can you do that day?.
The beaches are public. The Hilton does not have day passes, but the RIU does. I would book in advance.
We used Hilton Honors Points and booked a room.
Which beach has “better “ turquoise waters, cause I’m doing photos .
Eagle all the way to the right find the Divi tree
We went passed Eagle Beach to the west side to the Hilton Resort. You can find cute photo stops on thos Beach!
Baby beach has the most Turquoise water! 😊
Stupid question but how do you call a taxi? I'm sure there are plenty of them by the port, but we want to go to Arikok National Park, and we aren't sure if there will be taxis driving us from the park back to the port.
Just stand at the street and one will come. Expect to pay $5 per person back to the port from Palm or Eagle Beach
I appreciate this video so much! Question…how do you know which resorts offer day passes? I think this is what we would like to do with our day in Aruba.
Oh! How do you go about booking a resort pass in La Romana as well?
We are on the same itinerary as you guys, departing Miami Aril 16th! The countdown is on!
Great videos ❤️
The RIU does.
I think it is $120 per person.
I do alot of research on cruise ports of call.
Did you watch our videos on the Hilton right next to the RIU?
The Hilton La Romana day passes are booked through the concierge.
I used IHG points to book it and got a room for the day.
Have a wonderful time on your cruise.
Watch for our upcoming new Videos on the Hilton La Romana as well.
Thanks for watching.
Get the IHG credit card or the Hilton credit card to get points for free rooms. You can get day passes, employee rate rooms for the day to use the rooms, or day passes to make you day pleasurable! 😀
Thanks for this great video! How did you redeem your Hilton points for the day pass in Aruba and other locations? Thanks!
We book rooms and use it like a day pass. Check the box that says" Use Points" while booking the room on the Hilton Honors website. Make sure you get the Hilton Honors American Express Card to be upgraded to Gold Status.
Right now if you get the card and spend $2000 in six months you get 100,000 points

@@cruisingwithcrystal thank you!! Ok so I book the actual room with the points! That’s a great idea! Thank you.
Arubus day pass is only $10.
Could you possibly list the directions in the comments section...I'm on the cruise ship and my WIFI is not working properly
There is free wifi at the port
Wifi on the boat is not secure or reliable! Fyi
Question does he announce the stops or how do you get the bus to stop? What if you dont know where your going do you just tell him ?
Yes, just tell the driver where you are going. They will announce when they are at the stop.
Does the bus run pretty late in the day ? Thanks
If you can't get a bus for $2.60, there are plenty of taxis for $5 per person
Ok thanks
@@HuyTran-xi9lt So if you stay later and the buses are done, you can grab a taxi.
Thank you !
Thanks for video. I have question: If I travel in one direction (for instance from Airport to Palm beach) I need to take two buses with a change stop at Oranjestadt bus station. Do I pay the second fare of 2.60$ on the second bus or just continue my trip without second payment ?
Sorry, I'm not sure.
I can answer this question. Unfortunately, there are no transfers in Aruba so every time you set foot in a bus you must pay $2. 60 again. This is why this island is considered very expensive. For example, if you want to go from the hotel zone to San Nicolas, you must transfer at the main station in Oranjestad then take another bus and pay again to get to San Nicolas. Same thing on your way back. There is an option of getting a smart card if you plan on travelling a lot by bus. it is about US$10 for the card itself. Then each trip is $1.70. You could buy the card and load it at the main bus station in Oranjestad, as shown in the beginning of the video. There is not much information about routes and schedules online. This is purposely done in a clever way to promote tourists from using the most expensive way, taxi.
Planning on Spending time at Eagle beach. Then back on bus to Palm beach. Booked a pirate ship snorkeling cruise tour w Jolly Pirates Adventure. Heard it’s located at Palm beach ? Can u confirm this ?
I think it is at the peir in front of the Riu.
Ok thanks
@@HuyTran-xi9lt Have a blast! You will not be disappointed! We had a blast on this trip!
Doubt you’ll see this, but what’s the website to where I can book a all inclusive day pass with Hilton for the beach?
We booked a room through Hilton. It was not all inclusive.
There is a Riu all inclusive next door
Can you tell me if the bus to eagle beach is wheelchair accessible?
I'm sorry, I do not recall. Here is the contact information, arubus.com/
$2.60 is an odd amount, do they give change or do you have to have the exact amount? Is there any place to snorkel at Eagle Beach?🐸
It was $2 in the past but they raised it.
We did not snorkel. I think the reefs are out far and you need to take a boat.
They do give you change, but unfortunately it is in Aruban florins. I want to try to mix currencies, and the bus driver got very mad at me. You can also buy a day pass or a return card at the main bus station in Oranjestad and several other little locations.
does it go past barcelo resort?
Yes it is the next bus stop after we got off in the video.
