About me:
I am a Travel Consultant with over 20 years of experience in group travel and land packages etc. After several requests I started doing Travel Vlogs in late 2018 and more actively Aruba Walks & Vlogs in 2020.
You should do videos like this to each country , great job
Thanks😊🙌🏼Would love to!
THANK YOU for such a detailed video it helped me to decide what area where to stay on my trip ....thanks for your time and efforts to make travelling easier for us
Hey Hyro,
Just finished a 6 night trip to Aruba and wanted to thank you for all the informative tips on your channel. I was able to visit Arashi Beach and Tres Trapi. Both beaches were very beautiful and I can’t wait to go back. My resort was located on Palm Beach at the Hyatt Regency which was close to many of the local restaurants. Hopefully next year I will visit the island again and will be able to visit some of the others.
Glad I could help Michael! Love the Hyatt and it's very well situated.
Danki!! Mooie beaches 😎🌴👍.
Ze zijn allemaal top beaches, Mangel Halto, Eagle en Palm Beach zijn de allermooiste.
Ehm .... ik ben in het verkeerde land geboren .... mis Aruba
Idd zijn ze allemaal mooi! Super moeilijk (en bijna oneerlijk) om een nummer ervoor te zetten☺️😝
Love this video. We need to remember all of this. Can’t wait to see all these beaches!
Thanks, for sure a great guide/help!
Booked my first trip to Aruba in the new year and all of your videos have been awesome and informative! Thank you for the info! ☺️☺️
Great time to be here! Enjoy your trip!🏝☀️🍹
Absolutely beautiful beaches, thank you for sharing this with us Hyro ❤🏝
My pleasure 😊 anytime!
Your channel on the La Cabana TVs in the lobby. Watched all your Aruba videos before we got here and have a great list thanks to you. Thank you thank you and wow what a beautiful island. Here now and loving it
I love la cabana. Been going there for five years. Is Doug still security manager?
I was there yesterday and saw it for myself (for the first time), so cool! Thanks for the support and watching the videos, enjoy the rest of your stay!
I’m addicted to your videos Hyro! Best mental vacation. I ❤️ Aruba
So nice to hear ☺️🙌🏼🏝
This video was so informative. We love the tips about the airline seats. We always keep that in mind when travelling. Thank you for this video.
Hello Asha, so glad it was helpful! That view is amazing + depending on that day you might fly by some cruiseships too.
Great video Hyro. Would love to see a video about you, the man behind the camera and your life in Aruba. I love your videos. Keep them coming. Thanks x
Thanks Lizzie. Noted...I hope to make a day in the life soon :-)
So beautiful beach, I love the Aruba. Thanks Hyro
It really is, thank you too!
Always great videos of Aruba! Thanks Hyro for making me feel like I’m there even though I’m surrounded by snow in Canada right now and should be there. We always stay at Palm Beach at the Barcelo the high rise area but in non COVID times it is usually super busy as you noted. As we don’t drive when we’re there it was nice to get to see all the different beaches in this video. I have to admit that Eagle Beach looks great. The only problem for me is that if you stay at the low rise hotels you have to cross the main road to get to the beach. We like to be on the beach most of the day and be able to go back and forth to the resort for lunch and drinks etc. That is not so great if you have to cross the road! Thanks for your great videos.
Thank you too! Hope winter passes by very quickly this year :-) As for the high-low rise hotels you do have a good point there. It's certainly more fun to directly on the beach! Hope we may welcome you back very soon, thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great and entertaining video! Adds to the pleasure of counting down to our Aruba vacation. Look forward to enjoying at least the top 5 but it’s clear all of them are awesome in their own way. Thanks!
That's cool to know! Make sure to visit Baby Beach and Tres Trapi also, highly recommended!
@@LetsgowithHyro okidoki 👌
So my jet ski rental left from Eagle beach... was fun but had too slow down many times due to spotting turtles coming up for air which I found cooler than the jet ski's by a long way.
Oh no...the Eagle Beach is indeed so popular for them to lay their eggs each year. It's sad to read this. Love the turtles!
Love the concept of this video and very informative with details that will help us visitors when we visit Aruba👌🏾
Glad it was helpful, cheers!
Nice video and overview of the Aruba's best beaches. It brings back good memories of my visits of this island.
My pleasure MarioJs, that was a fun one to make and somewhat long overdue☺️
Black pebble beach on the east side of Aruba is my favorite. The sound of the pebbles in the waves is so peaceful. Baby beach has amazing snorkeling but that currant is a force to be dealt with. Great video Hyro.
Indeed, I absolutely love the black pebble beach! In this case I was going for the more swim friendly beaches 🙂 Baby beach is indeed one that we need to be careful too! Thanks for watching!
If you have snorkeled in the Caribbean or Indonesia and then snorkel Aruba, you will immediately realize that there isn't much snorkeling to do. Coral is dying off and what is there is limited. Don't get me wrong, Aruba is okay for first time snorkelers.
😍Wow! Super cool collab with @Perpato with NV. & weer heel mooi in elkaar gezet Hyro🙌 What a lot of beauty in 1 video! 🏝 🌊 I love all beaches😄, and they are beautiful in their own way and well worth going to! 🇦🇼❤
Thank you so much :-) it was so much fun filming with them but we missed you! As you said, all beaches are great in their own way, it wasn't easy to rank them.
@@LetsgowithHyro 🥰💫
Another fantastic video!! It was such a pleasure to do this collaboration with you. We want to thank you again for showing us the best beaches on Aruba. We had such a great time and are hoping to be back soon so we can do another video with you. #letsgowithhyro
It was a pleasure showing you around and doing the collab was just a bonus🙌🏼🙂 I’m sure you can’t wait to come back and try out some of these beaches for yourself. Hope to see you soon!
I agree with the visitors! Baby beach#1 and Mangel Halto#1 , tres trepai was nice but hard to get up and down the steps but love how different the last 2 beaches are. I will check Roger's beach this week.
Awesome :-) glad you liked them! Tres Trapi can indeed be a bit difficult for some, good point!
🤩 gracias!
Con gusto!
Good job Hyro!
Thanks!
Great video Hyro.
Glad you think so & nice to see you again! :-)
I have been on Aruba countless time but have only been to 3 of these beaches. I have to explore more next time.
Hope you are able to visit a few next time😊🏝️☀️
Great video Hyro. But My #1 pick is Manchebo beach and the nearby area! We go to Casa del Mar every year.
Thanks Matthew, great choice! I included it (via text) as the extended Eagle beach stretch. The sand there is TOPS!
thanks, I have to check out those beaches, I always stay at Palm beach but love eagle beach. Divi have to check out!
You should, there are several other good ones!
Eagle beach is echt mijn favoriet 😍
Super keuze hoor :-)
@@LetsgowithHyro are there toilets on the Eagle beach? Thanks
😮😊❤ wonderful !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, follow it up with the north shore beaches… beautiful westpunt, wsriruri, Daimari, boca ketu, three bridge, blackstone, dos playa, Deerfield
Thanks for the tip Daniel, it's definitely more challenging to film but I think it's a great idea!
I've been to most of those beaches except Tres Trapi and surf side beach. I went snorkeling at Mango Halto with Aruba Bob Snorkeling which was quite an experience. We went from the beach out to the ocean with these hand held motor water propellers to help push you out of the beach as well as bring you back. Saw a sunken ship, a lot of fishes way way out there 40FT of water and deeper I think 100Feet. Eagle Beach is my favorite but hard for me to get in and out of water due to an issue I have with my left hip.
They are all so good in their own way. Interesting info on the Mangel Halto. It’s a wonderful area. The eagle even if just for sitting there during sunset is super amazing!
If you go to Manchebo beach at the corner you will find it much easier to get in and out.
Last few days in Aruba. and thank you so much Hyro. Mangel Halito is the best beach by far. So much fish and such clear videos.
My pleasure and sooo glad you liked the Mangel Halto it's almost a hidden gem!
Been following you for some time.. great videos.. see you in 4 days ;-)
Thanks Tony, 4 days wow that few, awesome!!
Super goede video weer!❤️🇦🇼
Bedankt Boreas🙌🏼🙂
I will come to Aruba end of March for the 1st time!! I'll be arriving from France 😁. it's my birthday trip !☺️ I really can't wait !!!!! It looks amazing over there!!!!!🤩 Your videos.are very helpful!!😃👍🏼
Hello Anestel, great to know you chose to spend your birthday with and that my videos have been helpful for you... Cheers!
@@LetsgowithHyro
Thank you Hyro!🙂
Love your videos
Thanks 🙂
Great list of beaches that can be easily accessible by anyone. Rodgers, Eagle and Arashi in that order are my personal top 3…..to round out my top 10 would be Manchebo, Mangel Halto, Andicuri, Divi Beach, Baby Beach, Surfside and thanks to you Hyro, the secret beach within Arikok has made my top 10. Although Andicuri is no longer easily accessible to get to I had the pleasure to have experienced it a couple of years ago during a UTV tour. I continue to return on my own via a 4x4, love that spot and it was great for body boarding. The secret beach will remain a secret or people will just have to watch the video haha. I hope Rodgers remain the way it is even with the new resort being built near there. Palm didn’t make my cut, it’s a bit overly crowded for my liking.
You can't entirely go wrong with any of them but I prefer the quiet ones too. That beach in Arikok is pretty cool indeed! I used to body board there too (long time ago). Thanks for watching!
Hi, amazing. What's the video of that secret beach in Arikok?
3 Arashi, 2 Baby, 1 Manchebo Beach...masha danki, Hyro...tur cos bon pa bo!
Great choices! Saludos, bon siman alvast!
@@LetsgowithHyro Great video, as usual, but Manchebo is not in your list. :(
Thank you for this wonderful information. I am coming next year with my husband for our 50th anniversary and I want to know about the best local places to eat.
Glad it was helpful, please check out my many Aruba videos and hope to give you some ideas :-)
I love the video. Telling me which beaches have restrooms and resturants was very helpful. I had read that Eagle beach didn't have a resturant or restroom there but you said that they did. Is that something new? Or do you have to walk across the street from the beach to get to the resturant and restrooms?
There are restaurants and bars both on the beach side or across the street. Restrooms are located were the F&B establishments are, sometimes they may ask you to spend on something, say a cola to use them.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!! What would be your top ranking beaches for snorkeling?
Thanks Julie! It depends, for beginners Tres Trapi (for the turtles) and the next door Boca Catalina. Otherwise Mangel Halto but either take a tour here or be very careful with the currents. It's a much larger area with lots to see. Last could be Baby Beach but I don't like to recommend it for snorkeling because the currents there can be deadly (on the outer part).
@@LetsgowithHyro thanks for the information. I was considering starting at Arashi Beach, then walking down to Boca Catalina and Tres Trapi. Is it ok to walk? Not sure if the roads are narrow? I am extremely excited to finally be visiting Aruba!!!
My favorite on Aruba was baby beach! :)
It’s grrreat!
Great video! Very informative. Aruba will be a stop on a cruise. I have been there for week’s vacation a few times. My friend likes to snorkel. I’m not a swimmer but love to sunbath and go in the calm waters. I was trying to figure out which beach would be happy. It seems Boca Catalina would be best. Any recommendations? We are docking near 7am and leaving at 11pm. Can we hire a guide ? Hubs doesn’t want to rent a car. Thank you!
Hello Susan. Depending on the day of your stop (cruise) we might be able to help. Contact me via my website. Boca Catalina is a great spot.
Hey Mr.hyro
Great video btw!
I do have a question for you. Wich beaches/places are easiest/least crowded for drone shots? I know the rules for drones are strict in the island and you have to apply a for flying at least a day before.
Depends, weekdays are less busy because locals are mostly working. I think you can always find a less crowded part at the Eagle Beach. Rodgers beach is also mostly quiet and parts of Arashi beach.
Loved the video! Did you follow a group to know when the hatching was starting? Any way to be notified?
Thanks, one way is to look for Turtuga Aruba on Facebook, they are the ones taking care of the turtles on the island.
Thank you so much for helpful tips ! Be there on 6/28 !!! Are all these beaches on the public arubus bus line ?
Thanks too. Most are except the Mangel Halto (I doubt it is). It is a 5 to 10 minute walk from the nearest stop though.
Funny.... as y ou were talking... on #10, there was a couple with the male guy drowning his female companion LOL
LOL I saw that only when editing :-)
Great video did you have a lens filter on your drone ?!
Thanks Robert, unfortunately I don’t have any filters for it.
What do you think regarding vising Aruba mid-August to beginning of September? Is it recommended? Someone suggested it today and your channel videos came up. Very informative!
Yes, definitely you should! It can be warmer but it's a beautiful period to be here!
Hyro, congratulations for this videos and information, they are help me a lot. I'm going to Aruba next month, I've been following you for a few days... can you give me a tip? I will be in an apartment behind the Barcelo Hotel in Palm Beach, is there a bar/restaurant in this region that rents chairs and has beach service?
Thank you Tiago, nice to hear from you! As far as the information requested, I've heard that there is a company providing such service but unfortunately I am not aware of the name. Usually at the popular beaches you will find places that rent though and there are several bars and food options. If you are staying for an extended period, perhaps consider buying (chairs, drinks etc. at a supermarket) since the costs do add up.
Eagle beach is stunning, but it's incredibly windy.
I've heard that complain, yes it is.
The wind keeps you cool despite high temperatures. My favorite Aruban beach by far.
@@jonsher7682 Beautiful for sure, but walking along it, the sand granules were cutting into our legs, hats were useless and lounging under a palapa was extremely difficult.
@@anthonymorris5084 As someone who has spent about 12 weeks at Eagle Beach over the years, and who often went for long walks from Costa Linda north to Amsterdam Manor and South to Divi Beach, I have never once had that exceptionally soft sand -- the softest I have felt at any beach -- irritate much less cut my legs. Never had a ball cap come off. And never found lounging under a palapa anything less than relaxing and perfect.
Do you own an airbnb or timeshare someplace other than near Eagle Beach?
@@jonsher7682 No, we rented a condo on Eagle Beach in May several years ago and it was incredibly windy the entire week. We had numerous walks along the beach that were difficult except in the evening which was calm. Even by the pool we were hit with serious winds the entire week.
❤
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful beaches, but the water is salty hehe
Tell me about it ;-)
Hello Hyro. Thanks for your excellent videos and recommendations. Can you tell me how much it costs to rent a chair on the beach?
Thanks🙂Well the chairs depends on the location. They can vary from $5 per chair to much more. I never rent them myself so I do not have all of the prices.
Hey Hyro, been checking out your videos…I’m the host of Coach Cruise and will be coming in April 4th. If you’re available I think we’d make a great collaboration as I connect with thousands of Cruisers looking for things to do in Aruba. Was thinking of doing Divi beach (may have spelled wrong), normally do Eagle, but want to try a new spot…or we could meet at another spot you recommend…assuming you’re available? Lmk I think we’d get some great cross views. Also I’d like to have you as a guest on my Coach Cruise Lives Tuesday nights one evening. Lmk! Thanks
Hi there☀️ Perhaps we can! Contact me via my website 😊 and we will go from there.
I would say if you have kids, then Baby Beach ranks higher, if you don't then it ranks lower. It's still great either way, but it's just about how much enjoyment you personally would get out of it. If you have kids the crowds might be seen as a good thing as (not that it's likely especially at BB) you have many more eyes to be able to help your kids out of a bad situation should it happen, it also allows your kids to make a beach friend to play with. As an adult you might want more calm and alone time so the crowds work against that.
Great observation! I have to agree.
Good list.... baby beach has too many mosquitos IMO
Thanks Leighton!
Hi, how bad is the rain in November? We booked 1 week of vacation for the last week of November and we are afraid we won't be able to swim at all? Appreciate your insight!
It's nature, anything can happen but from experience I can tell you that you should not have any worries.
Request to plz film Indian Shops.
Ok I'll try🙂
Hello Hyro! Does ferry to Coro , Venezuela still exist ? Victor
Hello Victor, no it doesn’t. There has been talks for years about restarting ferry service but so far nothing.
What do you use to navigate
I live here so I know all the roads. Would recommend just the Google Maps.
When a local says Eagle Beach is the best one, you better believe it!
Yup :-)
Agree
Hyro, this is Lori N. Love your videos. Why Don't you do a video of your home town. Always wondered???? We will be I Aruba the 3rd of July for 6 days. Want to rent jeep for a day and do North side. Can you recommend a good rental place? Closed jeep is preferable. We are staying at RIU family. Thank you.
Hello Lori, welcome welcome!! I hope you have a great stay, the day looks wonderful today! Will be around the Marriott beach side later tonight, hope to see you all.
Leaving Aruba today. So many 1st memories. I want to move here. Have to research this island a little more
@@lori2889 💫😊 Wish you a safe trip home🙏🏻
Hi Great video me and my wife are looking to visit Aruba in July / August we love the look of Eagle beach 🏖 wot is the best hotel there and we are looking for a all-inclusive hotel is there any p.s where travelling for England 🏴 can you help us please
Hello Lee, nice to hear from you! I suggest you watch the video I will be releasing today. I walk more or less part of that area. Your best bet for the all inclusive would be the Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. I don't recall if there are more situated on Eagle Beach but they may have additional food packages where for example your breakfast is included. The La Cabana is probably the most popular one. Manchebo Resort has perhaps the best and widest white sandy beach on the island. Next to it is the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort which is very popular too. I hope this helps :-)
@@LetsgowithHyro hi iv had a look at that hotel it’s not for me I’m looking for a bit of 5* class waited on hand and foot 🦶 😂😂 seeing me and the wife are big 50 this year can you help us plz
I am vising soon where do you suggest to go on a budget friendly? Beach etc..
Not sure I understand the question. All beaches are free.
@@LetsgowithHyro beach and resort combo all inclusive for a day.... thank you for your response
Is there free parking every where you go?
Mostly everywhere except Oranjestad, certain Palm Beach parking lots and at the airport. Beach parking is free.
Sep/ oct ot s to ok for swiming ?
Yes it is 🏝️☀️
Greetings Hyro, what’s the best time to get to the beach?
I think the morning time 9-12pm. Usually less crowds, great lighting for photo's and snorkeling. Whatever you do, avoid long periods of direct sunlight during the midday time. Especially the first few days. Use sunblock whenever possible.
@@LetsgowithHyro Thank you for that, because my wife can’t stay in the sun at all, so we will definitely get sunblock. We bought and umbrella to use as well as well will probably use the natural coverings already on the beach. I see I’m some of the Arashi beach and baby beach videos a tent type of covering people have, so they sell those on the island?
got a question.....really like what I have seen about manchebo beach......going on a cruise....question is can you rent chairs and umbrellas there or do you have to be a resort guest
Hello Terry, yes you can. It’s right next to Costa Linda Resort but keep in mind it’s very limited.
@@LetsgowithHyro thank you
2nd life waters restoration quality
🏝️
Thanks for not mentioning the best one on the island, not that it’s a secret but the less attention and all ;)
No worries!
are you taping any videos this week?
Don’t think so☺️
I would think the walk was North to South, not West to East😉
Not many swimable beaches on the north shore.
What about flamingo Beach !
It's not public, so I did not feature it. Maybe another time. Thanks for watching!
I love aruba n the beaches having fun l need are beers sweet poeple thanks you yaehs 😎😘😍😎💕
Flamingo beach has absolutely nothing to do with this video. It is on its own separate island.
Private, expensive to go to, man-made, small beach that is crowded because there is so little sand and whose flamingoes have clipped wings so they are essentially prisoners there and in a place where those birds are not native.
Not for me, especially when one of the best beaches in the world is free and public and wide and uncrowded -- Eagle Beach.
pre-historic
ok
