Aruba In The Caribbean | Is It Worth Visiting?
Here are my other videos of Aruba showing the beautiful beaches, the main town of Oranjestad, how much things cost and more of the island: ua-cam.com/video/zzI5fLRxSGk/v-deo.html
I love Aruba. Very quiet island. Nobody bugs you there, no one trying to sell you anything on the beach or anywhere else. It is expensive, however very little crime and it is a very safe island to wander around.
I haven't see anything interesting to wander, maybe a desert with a few 🌵?
if you would go to aruba, its not expensive if you go where the locals like me go , like instead for 10 dollars for 2 empanadas ,you could get them for 5 florins which is About 3 dollars and for dinner you could go to the Chinese restaurants , they don't sell Chinese food but almost all of our restaurants are Chinese people so we call them CHINESE RESTAURANTS there food cost about 10 to 18 florins wich is about 6 dollars to 10 dollars and the food contains rice and fries with the meat you orderd
its really good and way cheaper , you guys go to the hotel restaurants ofcours its going to be expensive@@CuracaoVlogs
No one trying to sell you anything or rob you because they can;t afford to live there in the first place,!!
@@PatrickClowry what do you mean
@@samuellovius1162 Gracias! NOW I feel better about visiting Aruba lol! No really, I love the architecture, the beaches, the people, and the mix culture,the low crime(see movie Bon bini Holland), and just the magic of the ABC!!!! The high prices for food in the first video had me stressing! Now to see about cheaper accommodations for a single father and child that do not care about luxuries.
I just got back from Aruba last week, took the family down for a five day getaway. I think it was worth the trip, and is a unique place to visit. We rented off road vehicles and toured the entire eastern side of the island one day, including Arakok National Park. This is the rough, rocky, desert side of the island, which has some nice scenic areas with waves crashing on amazing rock formations as shown in this video. The west side of the island is where you find the beautiful beaches and resorts. The beaches and water are truly spectacular, and you often get some incredible sunsets, as well. People always ask if the wind is annoying, and I thought it would be before I went. However, trust me, you end up loving the breeze because it would otherwise be very hot, and the breeze makes it comfortable and pleasant. I usually sweat a good deal, but found that I didn't nearly as much in Aruba because of the breeze.
The tourist areas of Aruba are definitely expensive, but it was vacation and I don't sweat the expense when I'm on vacation as it's only for a few days. I'm there to enjoy it and I didn't have a bad meal the entire time I was there. Lots of incredible restaurants to choose from. The food, especially the seafood, was just amazing. The fish is out of this world.
That being said, the big grocery store in the Eagle Beach/Palm Beach area is Superfood. It's CRAZY expensive. You could easily spend several hundred dollars there if you were shopping for a whole week of groceries. Three slices of lunch meet were individually packaged and sold for around $6. A 2 liter bottle of soda was $7. You can go to other groceries where the locals shop and save a good deal of money. They will still be expensive compared to the US, but much cheaper than Superfood. However, you'll also find that Superfood has the brands and products that you want, while the local groceries sell mostly off brands and have much more limited selection. You basically have to decide what's more important to you, saving money or getting the products and brands that like and are used to.
I also recommend doing some snorkeling while in Aruba, whether you bring your own gear and just go off of a beach (I recommend Baby Beach or Malmok Beach), or do one of the snorkeling tours. There is a lot of sea life to observe.
Lastly, be sure to use lots of sunscreen. The breeze tricks you into thinking that you're not getting burned, but if you're not wearing sunscreen, or aren't reapplying it regularly, you are getting burned. The sun is very intense even though the breeze is keeping you cool. You don't want to ruin your vacation by becoming a lobster on your first day because you didn't apply enough sunscreen. Use a high SPF and reapply often.
I've been watching your travel videos for years now, I can't help but to be more inspired by each one. Thanks for continuing your travels and bringing us along the entire way!
Cool, thanks Eric.
I’m from aruba and have always wondered what people think of our island and it’s great to see that you enjoy it and also great job on the video!
"To be honest Aruba 🇦🇼🇦🇼 and other Caribbean island countries and terittories are cleaner and safer in comparison most of the places here in Southeast Asia especially here in the Philippines .?!"
Hey have u lived their all your life?
I live in aruba
You should try colombian or dominican restaurants those are local restaurants
The restaurants where i saw you go are restaurants specially for tourists
Locals go there only for special ocations when they want to spent more money
But Colombian restaurants a main dish can cost 15 dollars and believe me even 2 people can eat with 1 dish
What's the point to eat Colombian or Dominican cuisine in Aruba? I would rather go to Colombia or Dominican Republic then don't you think?
@@CuracaoVlogs colombia and dominican republic is already part of aruba(most of aruban familys are already mixed with latinos)
2. Its cheaper then other restaurants
3.if your hoing to eat on the restaurants he went are all.international cuisine not aruban(exepct peanuts)
4. If your looking to save money colombian restaurants are the best options
5. Local aruban food you can count them with 1 hand there is not mucch( most of aruban food you will find it in food trucks wich is humburgers and breqd with steaks the basics)
So yeah if your looking to save money and eat alot and delicious i think there is a point
Dont be fooled when you see that they are charging you in dollars or that 1 meal is higher then 20 dollars thats no local food
JesuCristoEsLaRoca Qrestauralascosas is Columbia food good?
@@LeonardoUA-cam8 yes
@@JesuCristoEsDiosYSalvador you live in a beautiful place, don't let the Chinese destroy it!! 😄
Anytime I plan on visiting a new place I first come and watch your videos about that place if you've been there, before making a final decision. Your channel is the best out of many out there especially for us who travel on budget.
Thanks Gabriel! Peace & love from Kyiv-Ukraine ❤❤❤
Very cool, thanks. Kyiv, awesome city!
One of the most honest videos about the island, thanks for your hard work
Nice video! I live in Aruba and love to see my own island on UA-cam! Btw all the traffic you see at 13:57 is normally not there, they closed some roads for construction and that forces everyone to go on that road.
is it warm/hot all year round?
Yes, definitely. Close to the equator, warm all the time.
Gabriel Traveler thank you!
@@antoniocognato5023 Here in Aruba we have two seasons: 1. Hot, 2.Very Hot
Better than cold and very cold!
Great video as usual Gabe 300k by Monday i bet well done your channel just keeps growing and growing long may that continue :-)
We really enjoy Aruba each time we visit. We love how you can ride ATV's in the desert and then go to the other side and be on a beautiful Caribbean beach.
Been living here all my life and it's a very nice place but i do get tired of the hot weather sometimes i want to experience snow.
Based on the thumbnail alone, I'd say it's worth visiting 😁
I like your videos you the Best God Bless you
@@lidiaruiz6454 thank you so much
I came for the beach and stayed for the desert.
When you go to Curaçao, visit Campo Alegre.
Haha i see what u did there 👌👌🤙
HAHAHAHAAHAHA bono pir ta serio😂😂
"Happy Camp" 😂
Have really enjoyed your Aruba videos. Always great to see vloggers go to new places. I hope you can hit more of the Caribbean soon.
Thanks, appreciate it.
The true beauty of Aruba is in the hearts and happiness of the Aruban people!
What a neat little spot, I hope to find a couple awesome spots like this in Sri Lanka where I have just begun travelling. It’s amazing here despite the current circumstances. Cool video, thanks for motivating to begin my travel channel
That's awesome you're in Sri Lanka despite what happened. I want to get out there sometime soon. Have a great trip.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 100% worth it man, so cheap at the moment and such a beautiful country!
bro you should of went to zeerover its has freshly caught fish and shrimp and a sea view
I'm sure it's not fresh! Nothing is fresh on a desert island besides the coconuts.
@@carmenbrouwers3380 fish and shrimps straight from the boat (in front of yours eyes)..
@@carmenbrouwers3380 it is....
@@carmenbrouwers3380 they literally cut the fish in front of your eyes. Only the shrimp isn't fresh.
Gab...I find your videos absolutely awesome. Ultra-informative. I have a trip coming up in mid-October and have watched most of your Aruba vids...Thanks Buddy for the work you do! You ROCK
Cool, glad to hear it. Have a great trip.
can someone explain to me why everything is so expensive there? i mean the hotels and food prices are crazy (from what ive seen in his previous videos)
I ain't goin' to Aruba.
ApexKarmaSC it’s basically a european country (or part of one; the Netherlands )
Most things are imported that's why
ApexKarmaSC Everything arrives by container , high taxes and the main industry was the old refinery now closed then the tourist is the main source now. It's a beautiful place and save with free beaches. Bonaire and Curazao are a little expensive too as Aruba but they are so cool place.
@Craig It's not to keep tourists down, tourism is the main source of income for Aruba. And the traffic is normally not like this, Aruba started construction on a highway leading from the airport to the other side of the island (where the hotels are) and that is causing really bad traffic.
Great job explaining what you really see and experience
Hey Gabriel, awesome videos, great channel! My husband and I will be traveling to Aruba next month and your videos were really helpful ✌️
I for one would like to see more of the Caribbean.
I love Aruba ! I hope to move there when I am older it’s paradise !
....based on your videos, Mexico has it all over Aruba...far more beautiful, much more affordable and way more interesting...thank you for scratching Aruba off my travel list......
Yeah you can't even get kidnapped in aruba where's the adrenaline rush supposed to come from
….just remembering how Natalie disappeared so quickly...….
@@danielthomas791 oh dam that was this country? Unfortunately woman get harmed in all countries ...USA especially
Salty... Aruba fine you see what you want to see lad. Idiot
Gabriel, you're the man. Another great video to encourage more travel. I've been all over but never Aruba. If you ever find yourself coming to Boston, please let me know.
I'm also going to Vietnam in August, plus London, and Copenhagen. So all over
Sweet.
Top video Gabriel have a good time in Aruba man !
Nice video..Which island did you like the best between Curacao and Aruba ???
Looks worth it to me
Everything is more expensive en the ABC islands because they import almost everything plus they don't have the source of water so is purified from the ocean
While on other Caribbean islands everything gets blown away from hurricanes so ABC islands are still the best options 😊
I could probably enjoy half a day there, then boredom would set in hard. I think the cruise ships with the two hour stop got in right.
Bon Dia! It s great to see a video about Aruba finally. Good Job! I believe you are the first travel vlogger visiting Aruba :) - it does deserve the introduction! It s the most beautiful and safest place I had ever lived in. Very small island , it is expensive definitely, if you are not from an expensive country. Perfect white sand beaches, perfect blue and clean water, happy people, no crime. It is really one happy (but expensive) island. I guess for this "downside" it WILL stay a happy island, "poor" people cannot afford it on a long run :) But for this too, it will never get too crowded nor filled with crimes. Perfect paradise. Thanks for the video!
Great, thanks, I enjoyed my time in Aruba, a little piece of paradise.
Just bought a t-shirt. Happy to support the channel!
Great, thanks a lot.
I have a question for anyone who sees this comment. Would you rather go to Aruba or Jamaica and if have been to both which one did you prefer. It would help so much if anyone responded. Thanks!
Hi Gabriel, I enjoyed your Aruba videos. Thanks for the good job :) I'm wondering where are the pink flamingos we always see on the pictures. On which beach are they? Have you not seen them?
They can be found Renaissance island, which is a tiny islet owned by that hotel
@@allenwilliams1376 Thank you for the info :) So only the hotel residents can go to that islet? I'm just wondering.
@@gurusevikadasi108 they allow a small amount of non hotel guests every day for e fee $
Wish I was there as it is cold and rainy here in Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 today! It’s interesting that this side of the island has black rocks and no crystal sand. The other side with the white beaches looks like the sand in Siesta Key Florida which is quartz. It doesn’t get hot. It’s an interesting geology to read about how it was formed therein That spot in Florida. Wondering if you can go to Miami and show us the Art Deco areas etc.
Nova Scotia, that's a place I'd like to see someday. I actually flew from Mexico to Miami for three days before flying to Aruba. But I decided to take a break from filming while I was there. Maybe another time.
Gabriel Traveler Definitely come To Nova Scotia!
Generally, you would want to travel to the Caribbean Islands with people, whether it's your partner or friends.
If a local were to show you around, it would also be great, they would tell you about the history, take you to eat different types of food.
If you travel with people, you guys are more likely to look into different activities you can do in the island, maybe there is a festival going on, something you might not notice if you travel alone.
I guess you will continue the trip to the other Caribbean islands by yourself, in that case, i hope you invest in some tours, and dive a little bit more into the vibe of the Islands.
All these Islands have an amazing history.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Headed to Aruba in a few days! ❤️
Gaberial you should go to the dominican republic its so lush green and tropical. And the beaches are world class.
As a local i approve this video, glad you enjoyed it.
Sweet, thanks.
That beef stew looked great for $15 USD. Compared to the other places this seems like a smart choice and comparable in price to Europe and North America.
Hey Gabriel if you're going to Bonaire I wouldn't recommend staying for too long. It's a very small island with little things to do other than swimming, which you can do on Aruba and Curaçao
Hi Gabriel! Nice video. Loved the natural bridge.. The beaches are beautiful.. Thanks. I bid you peace and love! 🍃😊🍃
Definitely!
Thanks for showing the otherside of Aruba. Not what one would expect really.
Wait, 15 bucks isn't cheap when dining out in Aruba? Damn dude, that's cheap anywhere! You cant expect to go to a place like that and NOT spend a little cheddar.
if you would go to aruba, its not expensive if you go where the locals like me go , like instead for 10 dollars for 2 empanadas ,you could get them for 5 florins which is About 3 dollars and for dinner you could go to the Chinese restaurants , they don't sell Chinese food but almost all of our restaurants are Chinese people so we call them CHINESE RESTAURANTS there food cost about 10 to 18 florins wich is about 6 dollars to 10 dollars and the food contains rice and fries with the meat you orderd
its really good and way cheaper , you guys go to the hotel restaurants of course its going to be expensive
At the end of this video I went to the Peanuts restaurant, which locals had recommended.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos yeah that's a pretty good restaurant
But something else... If you want to buy snacks or stuff like that DO NOT GO TO THE SUPERMARKETS IN THE HOTEL AREA go to markets in the middle of oranje stad or I know a really good and cheap place its called. Save a lot its a food store
Really great prices
Chek it out!!
Em, somethings I would like to know from the locals in Aruba,Bonaire and Curacao? Where are all the building material hardware stores, zone? That is where I want to visit first. Mahogany and walnut windows and doors and door frames, electrical power sockets and switches not sold in the USA, tiles, roof tiles, wood trim,etc. I saw all the houses in these videos and I MUST say, they are nice! Like Puerto Rico, only most are cleaner! With clay and wood roofs but concrete walls and floors. VERY interested in places to buy that stuff there. Also, can I get by without my own car like I can in Puerto Rico? And lastly, where can I stay for cheap(less than $40USD a night)? In Argentina I stayed in a cave like room with shared bathroom for $6USD a night. A bigger room for $12 a night. Heck I would do fine in a small 5ft x 8ft room with a window that opens to let air flow since it is NOT COLD, in ABC!
Been there twice and yes it is.
Thank you for the great content, Gabriel!
Another great video. Thanks Gabe
It's worth visiting if you don't mind the cost - it's pretty expensive. The weather is great and beaches and it's beautiful but expensive.
I was there once back on 1996 and still have pleasant memories. But if you are on a budget don't go, it will break you.
Definitely worth visiting!!!👍😊
Must be strange driving when you are normally trucking by foot. Traffic was crazy. Ty Gabe for beautiful photography
Gabriel The Best
Any chance you can upload your some of your future videos that don't require GoPro hypersmooth, in 4k 60fps (or 2k 60fps) please? Followed you only for the last month or so, but enjoy seeing where you travel to. You appear to be living the dream as far as seeing the world!!
Hey Steve, thanks for watching. I'm not sure what you're asking about the video quality. I'm filming in 1080p at 60fps with the Gopro hypersmooth stabilization on. Are you saying there's some issue with how the video is coming through? Feel free to let me know what you mean in more detail. I want to know if there are any problems with the video quality.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos No issues at all. I was just wondering if you could try 2.7K 60 fps also with the hypersmooth. Some of the places you visit are amazing and it would be nice to view it in the best possible quality but still stabilized and shake free. Awesome to see the places I hope to get to in the future.
You should try Antigua and Barbuda 🇦🇬 365 beaches 🏖️ Aruba looks great. Thanks.
It's a pity that you don't hook up with Karl Watson in the Carib. I think it would be refreshing for your channel, and for you, to do some collaborations and also consider doing some Q&A vids (they need not be live - just advertise it on FB, Insta or Twitter) and read out the questions on your phone. Good travels Gabe.
Viajedelavida gabes channel he can do what he wants bro, he is ace as he is
Yeah I follow him on Instagram and saw he's in the Caribbean as well. But he's on a different island and it isn't as easy to get around here as you would think. Flights aren't cheap to the other islands outside of this area of the Caribbean. And the timing isn't right, I'm on Curacao for the next few days and then going to Bonaire, and I think he has a short trip to one island for a week or so, Antigua I think? I know it sounds like you're close when someone is in the same general part of the world, but it isn't as easy to meet as it sounds. I was in Muscat, Oman the exact same night as Kara and Nate last year. We were emailing and trying to meet, but realized it wasn't going to work because we were on other sides of the city and it was too much trouble considering we both had flights to catch early the next morning.
Hi Gabriel, You're going to find spectacular beaches all over the Caribbean. The arepa you mentioned are more pancake like and fill and eaten like a sandwich very filling very known in Venezuela.
Great content dude keep up the good work
Cool man, thanks.
Uh oh, your driving on an unsealed road. Don't let the rental car company see this vid! :)
Yeah I waited to post the video until I dropped the car off this morning and got the okay. Also I had it washed so it looked nice and shiny.
Warm welcome from island Barbados,love vlog original unique amazing video spot on.
Thanks, Barbados sounds amazing, hopefully I'll get the chance to visit it sometime.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Hope do come visit
Gabriel, I am vacationing in Aruba in a month and your videos have been not only informative but also fun. I hear Zeeover is a great local restaurant with fresh seafood. If you have time, perhaps give it a try. (Also, I plan to visit Greece in October and I just binge watched all your videos on Oia & Santorini! I had an enjoyable watch. )
Yeah lots of people recommended it. I drove right past it in my last video, but wasn't hungry at the time. It's quite a long ways out of the way from Oranjestad, but I'm sure it's worth the drive. Greece is epic, try to see a few different islands if you can to get a taste of how unique each one is.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I will definitely do my best to see all the Greek islands I can. Before watching your videos about Greece, I only planned to go to Mykonos and Santorini BUT, you open my eyes to many others. Thank you!!
Where are you heading next gabreil home or another trip.
He states in the video that he is heading to Curacao and then Bonaire
Yes, exactly. Not sure after that. Literally no idea. Making up my mind.
Worth visiting😊
You should also visit San Nicolas, that's the other side of the island also great beaches and cheaper restaurants.
Hi, I showed some of it in another video when I went to Baby beach: ua-cam.com/video/BEAW4KG9rXs/v-deo.html
Definitely try and find the local spots for food and or restaurants, the prices do not range over 20$ per meal, its more about 10$-13$ p/p. Great video , always love seeing my island from others perspective, it inspires a whole new kinda love for my island
Por favor, me podrías informar donde están los lugares de 10$- 13$ ? o los supermercados Gracias!!! Please, could you tell me where are the places from $ 10 - $ 13 or supermarkets thanks!!
I live in aruba
And theres one place called arikok its so beautifull you have to go visit
No one swims in those rough seas at the north coast (upper part of Aruba from west to east). The only ones that are willing to go in there are surfers. I used to do that 25 years ago in my teenage years.
Really enjoyed the music with the drive
@Coloredspaces
Totally worth it!!! Must be added to the list
Glad you're going to places you haven't been. I like your unique approach with walking through streets without political comments Recommend Central and South American countries although Mexico was a good start. Been watching you for years.
Very good monologue you did in the car (where it was less windy). Yes, my experience in the Caribbean has been the same in every island I've visited - the picture postcard spots vs. the scruffy parts. The island with the biggest extremes in my experience is St. Lucia but even in the wealthier islands overall like the Virgin Islands (American & British) it's been true. When you panned the camera back inland at one point here on Aruba I thought it looked like Burning Man. Keepin' it real, it's what u do the best.
Gabriel, ty for the videos, as a local it shows me a tourist's perspective on the island and the things we can improve on. Kinda seemed like you didn't enjoy your stay that much, but that's okay, at least you could say you've been there 🙂. enjoy your videos, looking forward to next videos on Curacao, and Bonaire.
Hey were u born in Aruba?
Been to Aruba twice from Manchester in UK, loved it, but now you cant fly direct from Manchester so unfortunately I wont be going again. I have some videos on my channel from my trips, we stayed both times in The Divi I think it was called. Good vid
Derek Comer who flew it from Manchester?
I live in Aruba😃
Thank god you talked to the manager at the restaurant. I was about to believe that the purported 104,000 inhabitants in Aruba were an illusion.
Cool video Gabriel... looked pretty windy out there... Safe Travels.. 👍👍. Edit: Don’t forget to call your mum for Mothers day... 😎
Thanks for the reminder!
Gabriel Traveler you’re welcome 👍
Food Looked AMAZING!!!
How is the beer down there? Anything to right home about?
The Balashi was good, kind of typical, but the HopiStout was worth writing about.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Oh, good! I was rather impressed with hos very different the desert-like landscape of the north side of Aruba appeared, via a vis the rest of the land! Really quite striking that difference.
Baby Beach is awesome, thanks for the footage 😄
That was a great intro Gabe...
Eso es vida Gabriel, bien por ti, y por nosotros
Aruba was a stop on my first ever cruise. I hadn't done any inquiry into the island as I had a picture in my mind of Caribbean islands. Aruba did not fit into this picture at all lol. We took a 3-4 hr island tour where we also went to the natural bridge. Our tour guide explained that there are a lot of sharks in these waters. In order to keep the beaches around the beach side resorts safer, the sharks are fed on the other side of the island twice a day with restaurant food waste and other things yummy to sharks. I will probably not make another trip to the island. Great vids Gabriel! I've been following you for 4+ yrs. I started watching your videos from Belize, Guatemala, central america prior to my vacation there in 2015. I am still here in Guatemala! I have also traveled to South America twice and have visited family back in the states twice lol. Travel on Gabe!
This is the stupidest comment I've ever read. There is NO sharks around Aruba because of the warm waters, that tour guide was probably being sarcastic and making a joke. Aruba hasn't had in the past any records of shark attacks or whatsoever. On the north side is were most of the locals go for surfing, kite etc. and on the south side you can find the calm beaches. Maybe next time make some research before you leave a comment like that. Thanks!
@@BenitoCameloBaby Aruba do have sharks!! Nathalee Holloway got killed there!
Hi Gabe, could you tell me the make of sandals you have please?
The sturdy ones are Chaco sandals. Not sure about the flip-flops, the tags came off long ago.
Dear God Come to Bali before I leave!
:)
Nice VID. For some reason islands even Hawaii ,doesn't interest me. I just don't like all the open sunlight. Went to Maui and had that same problem. I like cool weather. Ur pics r nice to look at. Thanx
Ciao... Gabriel... My respect... Excellent work this video... Super... Reportage... Grazie mille... 👍👍👍👍👍
I'm there now
Nice video! Love it.
Be careful Gabe in some countries it is forbidden to drive with flip flops.
Cool views thank you..
Great video.
Bro... the north coast of Aruba, Curacao and Bonaire are NOT for swimming... Lots of big sharks and the sea is very rough most people who fall in these waters do not survive.
It's not that rough. I used to bodysurf on Curaçao's north shore all the time and it's no rougher than beaches in Rio or Hawaii. They do not have lifeguards so that makes it dangerous.
@@markschoonewolf1968 that is exactly what I mean its not safe. It would be irresponsible to say that its not that bad people might get the idea that its okay to go swimming at Boca Tabla instead of Playa Canoa....
Such a beautiful place! Gabe you also gotta check out tblisi, Georgia!
Yeah Tbilisi is cool, I've been there: ua-cam.com/video/7fMUuxi5B-U/v-deo.html
Beautiful trip Gabe. Enjoy my friend
A "natural broken bridge" - You are funny!!
Please don't leave the island without visiting Zee Rovers in Sabaneta. Pasa dushi ! Gracias si te gusta el pescado y es una opción muy económica vale la pena !
That place is shit ! La comida en Aruba es mala. Arubanos son gordos y feos!
Are there creepy crawly's like snakes or scorpions there?
Both
@@allenwilliams1376 Deadly?
@@davenelson9505 two native shakes. A garden snake and a rattle snake. No known fatalities IFAIK, and bites are EXTREMELY RARE, maybe one every couple of decades or more. You will more commonly see the invasive boa's, but again no serious injuries ever reported. Scorpions are not a common sight but we have them, I haven't seen one in over 30 years. Not lethal.
Just leave the wildlife alone and you'll be fine
