Aruba Highlights and Aloe Factory
  • Aruba Highlights and Aloe Factory. Get an overview of this interesting island and still have plenty of time to shop or relax on the beach.

You'll also pass by the largest sea-water conversion plant in the world. Next, travel through Santa Cruz to Frenchman's Pass, where Indians once defended their island against attacking French, and see the remains of the 19th-century gold mill that operated here until 1913. You'll stop at the rock formations of Casibari, where you may climb to the top of the boulders for an outstanding view. Afterward, continue to Aruba's rugged north coast and the Natural Bridge, carved by the surf from solid rock. Continuing through the countryside, you'll pass windswept divi- divi trees on your way to the Aruba Aloe Factory. Here you'll have a brief guided tour of the production facility to see how this marvelous, soothing product is manufactured. Prior to returning to the ship, you'll also have a few minutes to browse the retail shop to pick up your favorite aloe products.

Seaworld Explorer Semi- Submarine
  • Seaworld Explorer Semi- Submarine. Explore Aruba’s amazing underwater world in this state-of- the-art semi- submarine. You'll descend into the boat's air-conditioned hull, five feet below the water's surface, to see the Arashi Reef's spectacular sea life and coral formations through clear glass windows. Your knowledgeable guide will provide information on the underwater world around you. You will also see the wreck of the Antilla, a German freighter destroyed during World War II. One of the largest wrecks in the Caribbean, this 440-foot-long vessel lies partially submerged in 60 feet of water, providing a comfortable way station for the many pelicans and other sea birds that frequent it. After your tour, you'll have the option of being dropped off in town; you would then be responsible for your own return to the ship.

Bike Exploration of the Northeast Coast
  • Bike Exploration of the Northeast Coast. Exploring Aruba's untamed northeast coast by mountain bike is an adventure even experienced bikers are sure to enjoy. You'll depart the ship in an air-conditioned bus for the approximately 30-minute scenic drive to the Natural Bridge. Then after a short briefing, your ride will begin. The ride is primarily downwind and along a flat sand road. There are a couple of fairly steep inclines, and soft sand can be encountered. Rest stops will be made at the Bushiribana Gold Mine and the Alto Vista Chapel. Your next stop is the picturesque California Lighthouse. Finally, you'll ride the short distance to Arashi Beach, where the shuttle bus will be waiting to return you to the ship.

Helmet dive and Passport to Paradise
  • Helmet dive and Passport to Paradise. Catch the latest craze in underwater activities-helmet- diving-and enjoy some fun in the sun at De Palm Island on this exciting excursion. After a brief bus and ferry ride, you'll arrive at De Palm Island. Here you'll be directed to the helmet dive are, where an equipment orientation and safety briefing will be provided. Depending on the number of divers, you may be split into groups for your helmet dive experience. If you're not in the first group of divers, you'll be able to take advantage of the other island activities, such as snorkeling, until it's your turn to dive. Your dive begins as the helmet is placed over your head on the entry ladder. As you begin your underwater walk you'll be amazed that the specially designed helmet and air system will keep your hair dry and even allow you to wear your glasses! To aid in your undersea walk, a railing has been installed along the path, and there are guides with the group the entire time. For your viewing pleasure, there is a sunken airplane and a multitude of friendly tropical fish. When your underwater walk is completed, you'll have ample time to use your Passport to Paradise to enjoy the other amenities at the island, such as snorkeling with the famous school of blue parrotfish, swimming or just relaxing the sun. Complimentary beverages and a light lunch are also included.
