    The ATVs and Eagle Beach would definitely be top of our list! How amazing are the street cars, can’t believe it’s free!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      Yeah I was thinking we probably had to pay for the street cars, but it was a nice surprise

    Natural Bridge and the Street car - these two I liked the most. Great recommendations for the new visitors in Aruba 👍

  • @LucasWorldTravel
    @LucasWorldTravel 3 года назад

    Aruba would be a great trip. I think I would love the ATV rental, Eagle Beach, and the Natural Pools.

  • @TideKnotTravellers
    @TideKnotTravellers 4 года назад

    Eagle beach with a fresh coconut would definitely be the place we would head first! The Renaissance Resort looked pretty great too!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      I'd definitely recommend Eagle Beach for a relaxing beach day. Aruba is such a nice island.

  • @LucasWorldTravel
    @LucasWorldTravel 4 года назад

    The natural pools really interest me. I was wondering about the water. I would love the ATV tour. Eagle Beach look inviting. The Street Car seems like something I would enjoy. Safe travels!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      I want to go to the national park next time because I heard there was a beautiful natural pool there and even calmer waters. It's a great island to explore :)

      Next time we will definitely plan more time at the rocks to explore. And the Balashi beer was pretty good!

  • @RuthandThomas

    FUN! We definitely want to go to Aruba some time, but haven't been able to travel since the start of Covid. Really looks like a stunning place, tho! I like that Natural Bridge a lot - what a cool feature! And that street car is awesome, it's crazy how close you get to the trees sitting on the second level like that. These things are now on the must-see list! Thanks!

    We always enjoy wandering around a flea market, even if it's a bit of a touristy one! I think I would love trundling around on that street car 😍 I watched another video on Flamingo Beach the other day, it looks like an amazing spot for your next trip!

    • @TheAverageTourist

    Nice video about things to do in Aruba. Brings back good memories of my visit there. Sea around Eagle Beach and the nearby Manchebo Beach and Divi Beach has stunning color. There are also some interesting spots for divers.

  • @KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens
    @KelbyAdamOurLifethroughalens 4 года назад

    Literally one of the places we need to do, its on our bucket list 😍 the things do there sound great. ESPECIALLY the ATV, now that sounds and looks like an epic thing to do there.
    Oh my goodness Eagle Beach looks like a treat 😍 definitely Instagramable 😀
    The town looks so awsome and vibey especially the flea market 😍 nothing like gettinh great trinkets while traveling.
    Aruba looks like a such a lovey tropical getaway.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      It's such a great island. Plus it's pretty close to Bonaire and Curacao, so you could even 'island hop' if you wanted to. We did a cruise so it went to all 3 islands 👌 Eagle Beach is definitely Instagrammable!!

  • @Explorcation
    @Explorcation 4 года назад

    We will definitely utilize the free streetcar in Orangestad when we visit Aruba. It looks like a great way so save some $ while touring the city. We will check out the boulders too. We were surprised to see all those cacti and often forget that Aruba is pretty much a desert. This video definitely has us anxious to get back to the Caribbean!!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      I can't wait to get back to the Caribbean - it's been way too long. Yes Aruba has a lot of desert like landscapes and volcanic rock.

    The Natural Pools look very intriguing...I can't imagine calm waters behind those crazy waves! Eagle Beach is gorgeous and I can see how photographers can get that classic tropical island shot. I always add tasting local beers to my itinerary! 😀I need an island getaway...badly!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  4 года назад

      I need an island getaway too! It was surprisingly calm behind the rocks, but I'm not sure that specific location was for me 😳 I'd prefer to stick to a regular beach.

    Wow you guys really packed in so many activities into your short time in Aruba. We recently spent a month there and didn't make it to a lot if these places! It's so crazy to see how crowded it was pre covid- it was basically a ghost town while we were visiting. If you ever go back, make sure to spend some time UNDER the water- that's where the real Aruban magic happens.

    We did all of this! We rented our own atv to explore the National park. It was awesome, but yes, dusty! The lighthouse was closed when we were there. I’d add the donkey sanctuary, San Nicolas, and Hooiberg!

    I didn't know Aruba had such cool rock formations! The other day I watched a vlog of a couple that climbed down that wooden ladder for the natural pools. It looked AMAZING!! 😍 The Orangestad street car is so cute and it looks like a fun way to explore! I'd loooove to ride on the 2nd level 🙌

    • @TheAverageTourist

    Headed to Aruba next week. Thanks for the upload. In another video we learned the locals don’t like people building those rock statues because it promotes erosion and limits habitat for critters. Who knew! We always enjoyed building those anywhere we saw them.

    Another fully packed info video, accompanied by great visuals. Loved the rock formations. I could look at them for ages, discovering all sorts of shapes. The water is ever so blue, but like you said, can be treacherous. As visitor caution is indeed needed. The colourful markets, the buildings all a reason to visit this island. Who knows what's in store for me in the future? Thanks for sharing your holiday experiences. 👍 🎥 🌷 🙋‍♀️
