BOOK IT! Get a Jeep and get lost!
The best way to see this island is not by tour group...it is by renting yourself a jeep and just getting lost! The island is so small and easy to navigate that it is impossible to get lost, even if you try. We discovered all sorts of ...

Aruba visit and then 2 sailing days.
We drove all over this island! Ok, not really because much of it doesn't have a road going through it (it's largely a National Park), but we sure did cover a lot of the ground that we could by car. This is the 3rd Dutch island in a row, and the ...
