Everything was handled for us — flights, hotel, transfers, and tours to Renaissance Island flamingo beach (guest access) and UTV/ATV Arikok backcountry tour. Great communication from the consultant before departure too.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Butterfly Farm and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Aruba is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Casibari Rock Formations. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Our trip to Aruba was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Butterfly Farm was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Atlantis Submarine Expedition alone was worth the trip, but combined with California Lighthouse area horseback ride this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
