With its friendly people, bright white beaches, clear turquoise ocean, exceptional cuisine and shopping, relaxed days and exciting nightlife, it’s no wonder Aruba is known around the World as “One Happy Island”. The constant tradewinds allow for only a few rainy days per year and keep the island nice and cool at a near constant 85 degrees F. Daytime activities could keep one busy for weeks on end – golfing, diving, snorkeling, hiking, biking, bird watching, deepsea fishing, windsurfing, kiting are only a few! At night, the casinos, restaurant choices, bars and lounges are endless. Although Dutch is the official local language everyone speaks English, Spanish, and Papiamento as well. Both the US Dollar and Aruban Florin are accepted everywhere and the island enjoys an advanced infrastructure, great economy, 99% literacy rate and zero unemployment. Arubans are a very proud people and have embraced the tourism industry while maintaining the local flair many visitors are so attracted to.
