Question
i and my husband are planing to go to aruba for 2 weeks in septembe.what do you suggest,we must rent a car or we don't need and have you a good ideas to do a great holiday? tahnks so much debora

Answer
Hi Debora! It is less expensive to use public transportation, especially the taxis. With rental rates, Insurance and fuel, pick-up and drop off, taxis are the much better way to go. A must for first timers, go for the tour packages the operators have. Every hotel has an info kiosk showing what there is to offer.
To know the island, is to see what it offers in beauty and history. There are caves, natural bridges, donkey and bird santuaries, a butterfly farm, old ruins, rock formations and historical areas. (Once occupied by the Arawak Indians) In the downtown area, there is a coin and artifact museum. This is all in addition to the beach, sea, and the cordial Aruban natives. Also, september is a great time to go, as it is not that crowded as it is from December to March. I go myself the last 2 weeks of august! If there is anything else I can help you with, please contact whenever you need!
