@@rehan2118 you can, but have to request permission in advance on your drone’s app that you will fly at a certain height (maximum) because the island is close to the airport. We didn’t have time to do it, as we only realized it was necessary after we had reached De Palm Island, but Ive seen other UA-camrs with drone footage.
As someone who's visited Aruba almost 15 times and will be going again in 2 weeks, this video is incredibly thorough and you clearly devoted hours and days to producing it. A must watch for any Aruba newbie. A few things I'd add: The catamaran sunset tours, the pros & cons to all inclusive hotels vs. standard hotels, The famous Alhambra casino as well as other places to gamble, and the atypical customs process when departing Aruba. Best of luck to you and your family on your future traveling adventures! ✈✈
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed comment. Yes, editing the video was weeks of sweat and tears, but at the same time, so much fun reliving all our adventures… and being able to share it with others makes it all worthwhile. Thanks for the tips, we will take note of the places you mentioned here and visit them on our next trip to Aruba (grownups vacation 😁 this time). Have a beautiful trip in two weeks! 😊☺️
Thank you for your support, it’s really appreciated and helpful! It’s hard to guess what kind of format people prefer, and we’re always left wondering. Glad you enjoyed the video. Are you travelling to Aruba soon?
@@sonyalowe2733 We dined at the resort for the most part. Honestly, it was overpriced but it was for convenience. Next trip, we plan on checking out more options.
Aww thank you, I really appreciate your comment. It’s always so encouraging! More so if you are rewatching. Have a great trip to Aruba, you will 💕love it💕 (are you going for the first time?)
Thank you so much for this video. It's the most comprehensive one I've seen and it has me SOOOOO excited for my trip in a few weeks. I paused many times to take notes. Really great work!
Oh wow thank youuu! That is such a great compliment! Really happy you found the video useful! Enjoy your vacation to the fullest! If you feel like it, come back here afterwards and tell us how you found the island! 🥰😊
Thank you! I feel the same about the video and I also paused to take notes even though I've been to Aruba twice. Going again for the third time for my birthday shortly. The Aruba effect is a thing.
Thank You for this tour! This was so educational and informative!! My family and I were in Aruba on a Carnival Cruise in April and are dying to go back!! Your tour has us wanting to go back even more!! Loved it!!
You missed my favorite beach Rogers beach! Omg it’s empty and white sand and such clear water. Hyro took us there when he did a tour with us. I stopped there from a cruise but indefinitely want to fly in to get to enjoy it more. Loved your video :)
Oh noo! We will absolutely go visit Rodgers Beach next time. I think I saw it when we were headed to Baby Beach the first time I went to Aruba. Thanks for mentioning it, now its on my bucket list! And thanks for watching the video 😊🥰
We ate tacos pepe nacho three times in Aruba last year. We are going back last week of November and that's the first thing we are eating. The Barilla taco is amazing!!
INCREIBLE VIDEO..✨👌.....ES GENIAL LA FORMA TAN COMPLETA, DINÁMICA E INFORMATIVA DE SU VIAJE A ARUBA.......MUCHOS ÉXITOS Y BENDICIONES.....PURA VIDA - COSTA RICA 🇨🇷✨🇨🇷
Muchisimas gracias por ver el video y tomar tiempo de dejar ese comentario tan lindo. Adoramos a su país el Costa Rica. Fue uno de nuestros viajes más lindos, hace mucho ya en el 2019. Bendiciones y pura vida para usted también 🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊
Thank you for the lovely video. You all did such a nice job of editing, giving good information, and leaving me feeling more educated, confident and excited for my first trip there this spring during carnival.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words! Loved making this video because Aruba is such a beautiful and wonderful island! Enjoy your trip and the carnival next spring. That is super exciting!
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video! We celebrated our 2 birthdays last trip to Aruba and we had a blast. I am sure your birthday will be amazing. Aruba has so much to offer.
Thank you, so happy you liked the video! 7th time, wow 🤩 so cool! do you always go back to the same spot or do you try different places/hotels? Enjoy your trip!
Excellent informative video! Last year there was a third Eduardo’s open at LaCabana on Eagle beach - hopefully they are still there. This was probably the most comprehensive video on Aruba I’ve ever seen - well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you sooo much for this comment! I didn’t know about the third Eduardo. Thanks for the info! My daughter was telling me it was THE place to have the best açai bowl. Very happy you enjoyed the video. 😊😊😊
Good job with this video! Very informative I’ve been to Aruba before and pretty much thought. I saw most of it. You’ve touched on a lot of things I’ve missed. Thank you.!!
Oh wow thank you for your comment! Very happy you found the video useful and new things you didn’t know about. Makes the video editing work worthwhile! 😊😊😊
Great video and editing. You fit a lot into one trip. Thats how we like to travel as a family as well, gotta experience everything or we feel that we missed something.
Thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment! Even though an all-inclusive is fun too, we love this form of travel the best: Vacations spent truly discovering a place, meeting locals, eating local cuisine are the ones we remember and talk about the most… even years later. Are you planning a trip to Aruba?
@@globetrottinggang that’s the way. We mix it up with cruises for the relaxing time and then land trips for a more thorough experience. Heading there in August. Keep up the good videos, you do a great job.
Thanks for the kind words😊 yes cruises are great for discovering places you wouldn’t have thought of or gone to otherwise. Have an awesome trip in August!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful island I'm going later this year wow absolutely breathtaking and you and your family are beautiful thank you stay blessed ❤
Great video there is lots of food on the island for different price. Just one correction the tree on eagle beach is not a divi but fofoti. Then again good video I love that you showed all the small eating places.
Hi thanks for watching and your comment. Thank you for the explanation about the divi and fofoti. We loved the food in Aruba in all those small places. So tasty!! 🥰🥰
This was a wonderful informative presentation!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to put together ❤ There Is SOOOOO MUCH TO DO and places to see. How long did you stay to enjoy all you did? Thinking 2 weeks next summer.
Thank you very much for your comment and it was a pleasure to put it together: Aruba is so beautiful and fascinating! We stayed a week this time, but there is also footage from a previous trip. I think 2 weeks is perfect, 1 week was much too fast.
Wow 3 times! I completely understand! What an amazing island. For me it’s the fact that arriving in Aruba all the pain (from a workout injury) is gone. I walk on the beach and run up Mount Hoiiberg like a normal pain-free person. While here, I am struggling every single day. Aruba is perfect on all levels.
This is the best video I’ve seen so far about Aruba. You did such a great job. I’m planning my anniversary trip and Aruba sounds perfect. Btw, what kind of drone do you use in the video? Thanks
What a great video! It was very informative, and I’ll definitely take notes on your tips. Also, I noticed in your videos that you were flying your drone. Were there any specific requirements or permits needed to operate it? I’d like to fly mine too, but I’m not sure about the requirements. I’d love to hear any tips you have on what you did.

Here is more info: drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-aruba/ Hope this helps! Enjoy the trip!
Hi, thank you for watching and for your comment! 😊😊 Here’s the info I found: “For budget-conscious travelers, the best time to visit Aruba often falls during the off-peak months, which are typically from late spring to early autumn. These more budget-friendly periods, running from May to November, coincide with the island's ‘off-season’.”
Savaneta is farther from the main hotel area so calmer, full of local charm, amazing ocean views and closer to Mangel Halto and the Arikok National Park and Baby Beach. We actually plan to stay in the Savaneta area next time we’re in Aruba. Last time we were there was in March and April.
Hi! Thank you for watching! Yes you have to pay to rent chairs at the beach in most places. The prices vary. It can get pricey, I have seen up to 70 USD for 2 chairs and an umbrella for the day. We are a big family so most times we sit on our towels and we’re always in the water anyway, so we skip those hefty-priced chairs. There are some websites where you can rent them in advance. For example Franks Place www.franksplacearuba.com/rentals/beach-chair-umbrella-rental-holiday-inn-location/ or Delphi Watersports www.delphiwatersports.com/rentals/beach-umbrella-and-beach-chairs-package/ Another option, if you’re staying long enough is to go and buy chairs at the store and leave or gift them when you’re leaving the island. And if you’re staying at a airbnb check because often the owner may have some for their guests. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!
Where to stay best we might stay in one of the marriot hotels im just wondering if its easy to drive than taxi? Is the car left hand drive like US cars?
Driving the the Marriott Resort is approximately 20 minutes drive from the airport. The driving is on the same side as the 🇺🇸. Also the roads are in good condition. Only difference is the roundabouts but you get used to them quite fast.
Hi! Thanks for watching. I totally understand I am always a little intimidated when driving during our travels. But we found the streets in Aruba were super easy to navigate. Only concern would be the roundabouts, if you are not used to them. We have some here in Canada, so it was Ok but if you don’t, you may want to watch a video or two about them. But after you’ve tried them, you’ll be fine. Link below is a good video I’ve found. Hope it helps! 😊😊 Have a great trip! ua-cam.com/video/46mOPz3rhHs/v-deo.htmlsi=9CafwVNR-9qr3qb9
do I need to have valid test to get ED card? not sure what is it about but I though covid testing been long gone from the traveling now, or did I get it all wrong ?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Oh no the ED Card is not about Covid at all. It’s an Embarkation-Disembarkation Card that every non-resident traveler needs to fill in to enter the country. Please check their website for more info: www.curacao.com/en/questions/customs-and-immigration/what-is-an-online-ed-card
You replace your regular card for the travel sim (make sure to keep your regular card in a safe place) No international charger needed. American outlets. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!
Yes it should be good. In the park, there are specific roads designated exclusively for 4x4 vehicles, but the others are ok for smaller, regular vehicles. So you actually only need a 4WD to get to the Conchi Natural Pool. If your Ford Explorer isn’t equipped with that option, and you want to get to the Natural Pool, you can park and hike to the pool. I think it’s about a 3 mile hike. Hope this helps!
Hi! Thx for watching! Aruba Airport is called Queen Beatrix International Airport and there are many rental car companies on site where you can drive off from.
You can check this video description with tours we recommend. Also, your hotel surely will offer some. We rented a car on Expedia. Also we rented a car while already on the island with Drive 4 Cheap Car Rentals. See the link in Description.
Here is a DONT. My wife and I went to Aruba Floating Massage. The massage was OK. The owner however was super rude. Like really ... unexpectedly came to us in the middle of our time where my wife and I were enjoying the sunset and our special moment and she said - your time is up - you did not pay for the 30 min you spent looking at the sunset. Apparently her staff screwed up in booking. But she literally chased us out by saying - you got to go now. We paid $330 - just to be chased out because we were watching a sunset with the extra hour that we thought we had because her staff mixed up the packages. We left with such a sour feeling... She ruined a beautiful moment I had with my wife. A moment that I paid them for. Terrible business...
Oh no I am so sorry to hear this. Sadly there are rude and money-driven people everywhere. Hope you still enjoyed your vacation and didn’t let this event ruin it all for you. Happy Holidays!
NOT all countries tip. We’ve been to some countries where it is considered an insult to tip after a meal. So I added it: more information is better than less.

Hi, thank you for watching and for your comment! 😊😊 Here’s the info I found: “For budget-conscious travelers, the best time to visit Aruba often falls during the off-peak months, which are typically from late spring to early autumn. These more budget-friendly periods, running from May to November, coincide with the island's ‘off-season’.”
@ Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks
Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback 😊😊

Amazing Videos! I’m looking forward to visit Aruba 😊
Did I heard that right your from Montreal?
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Yes we’re from Montreal 😊 Are you too? Have a great trip to Aruba!
Would saveneta be a good place to stay? What time of year were you there?
Savaneta is farther from the main hotel area so calmer, full of local charm, amazing ocean views and closer to Mangel Halto and the Arikok National Park and Baby Beach. We actually plan to stay in the Savaneta area next time we’re in Aruba.
Last time we were there was in March and April.
Aruba 🇦🇼🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for watching the video! 😊
Thanks for your video! Very informative!
Do you have to pay for chairs at the beaches? Do you need to reserve them?
Hi! Thank you for watching! Yes you have to pay to rent chairs at the beach in most places. The prices vary. It can get pricey, I have seen up to 70 USD for 2 chairs and an umbrella for the day.
We are a big family so most times we sit on our towels and we’re always in the water anyway, so we skip those hefty-priced chairs.
There are some websites where you can rent them in advance. For example Franks Place www.franksplacearuba.com/rentals/beach-chair-umbrella-rental-holiday-inn-location/
or Delphi Watersports www.delphiwatersports.com/rentals/beach-umbrella-and-beach-chairs-package/
Another option, if you’re staying long enough is to go and buy chairs at the store and leave or gift them when you’re leaving the island.
And if you’re staying at a airbnb check because often the owner may have some for their guests.
Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!

Thank you so much!
Where to stay best we might stay in one of the marriot hotels im just wondering if its easy to drive than taxi? Is the car left hand drive like US cars?
Driving the the Marriott Resort is approximately 20 minutes drive from the airport. The driving is on the same side as the 🇺🇸. Also the roads are in good condition. Only difference is the roundabouts but you get used to them quite fast.
9:31 Where is this spot with the swing, please?
Hi thanks for watching! It’s at Mangel Halto Beach on the side of the road. Approximately here: maps.app.goo.gl/KQLbNiNqhbEFovBM6?g_st=ic
Thank you kindly, looking forward to using some of your tips when I travel there this year.
@@CurlyVeggie Great, so happy it could be of use. Enjoy your trip! If you remember when you return, please let us know how it went!

The waterslides are at De Palm Island. We just made a video about it this week:

I’m traveling soon and I’m a bit concerned about driving in another country! How is it driving there?
Hi! Thanks for watching. I totally understand I am always a little intimidated when driving during our travels. But we found the streets in Aruba were super easy to navigate. Only concern would be the roundabouts, if you are not used to them. We have some here in Canada, so it was Ok but if you don’t, you may want to watch a video or two about them. But after you’ve tried them, you’ll be fine. Link below is a good video I’ve found. Hope it helps! 😊😊 Have a great trip!

Alot of roundabouts that's about it😂
@@Charitin Exactly yes, but otherwise the streets are in great condition!
do I need to have valid test to get ED card? not sure what is it about but I though covid testing been long gone from the traveling now, or did I get it all wrong ?
Hi! Thanks for watching. Oh no the ED Card is not about Covid at all. It’s an Embarkation-Disembarkation Card that every non-resident traveler needs to fill in to enter the country.
Please check their website for more info: www.curacao.com/en/questions/customs-and-immigration/what-is-an-online-ed-card
@@globetrottinggang thanks I was wondering what is it about lol but i couldnt find more info about it on their official website thanks anyway
No problem! 😊
I really don't know how to swim but wanted to soak in water.. where to go that's not dangerous or you can just dip and soak..thanks
Mangel Halto!!
How does the sim card work? No international chargers?
You replace your regular card for the travel sim (make sure to keep your regular card in a safe place)
No international charger needed. American outlets.
Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!

I need a jeep to get around the island ?
Hi! Thanks for watching. You don’t, unless you are going to drive in Arikok National Park. If not, it’s perfectly fine even with a small car.
@ great video. And thanks for your response. Will a ford explorer get me
To the Arikok national park?
Yes it should be good. In the park, there are specific roads designated exclusively for 4x4 vehicles, but the others are ok for smaller, regular vehicles. So you actually only need a 4WD to get to the Conchi Natural Pool. If your Ford Explorer isn’t equipped with that option, and you want to get to the Natural Pool, you can park and hike to the pool. I think it’s about a 3 mile hike. Hope this helps!
Hi what is aruba airport? Is it drivable from aruba airport?
Hi! Thx for watching! Aruba Airport is called Queen Beatrix International Airport and there are many rental car companies on site where you can drive off from.

Thank you 😊

Thank you 🙏🏽🥰
Where you get your daily tours? Or rent a car?
You can check this video description with tours we recommend. Also, your hotel surely will offer some. We rented a car on Expedia. Also we rented a car while already on the island with Drive 4 Cheap Car Rentals. See the link in Description.
Here is a DONT. My wife and I went to Aruba Floating Massage. The massage was OK. The owner however was super rude. Like really ... unexpectedly came to us in the middle of our time where my wife and I were enjoying the sunset and our special moment and she said - your time is up - you did not pay for the 30 min you spent looking at the sunset. Apparently her staff screwed up in booking. But she literally chased us out by saying - you got to go now. We paid $330 - just to be chased out because we were watching a sunset with the extra hour that we thought we had because her staff mixed up the packages. We left with such a sour feeling... She ruined a beautiful moment I had with my wife. A moment that I paid them for.
Terrible business...
Oh no I am so sorry to hear this. Sadly there are rude and money-driven people everywhere. Hope you still enjoyed your vacation and didn’t let this event ruin it all for you.
Happy Holidays!

Thanks for watching!
Why do you have to say tip your server? ALWAYS tip your server unless bad service of course.
NOT all countries tip. We’ve been to some countries where it is considered an insult to tip after a meal. So I added it: more information is better than less.

Obrigada e muito orgulhosa de ser uma novata. E tambem muito orgulhosa de aprender o portugues e saber distinguir as palavras bonitas das feias.
Thank you! This was super helpful 🎉
Thank you for watching! Happy you found it helpful! Enjoy your trip!
@@globetrottinggang quick question, does a fee come with the ED form?
