Wonderful day of sightseeing and learning about Aruba!
Andrew went above our expectations of a day sightseeing in Aruba! Our group of 6 rode comfortably as he drove us to many must see places and allowed us plenty of time at each one. He is very informative and even shared a few of his own life stories about growing up in Aruba.
via Tripadvisor
Best Tour for a group of 6-8!
Andrew is an awesome tour guide and owner/operator! He went beyond our expectations of a day in Aruba! He is very knowledgeable and even shared many personal stories about family and growing up and living there. He drove 6 of us very comfortably to all the must see sights and allowed us as much time as we wanted at each stop.

GREAT Private Island Tour!
Our small group thoroughly enjoyed a 3 hour tour by Andrew of Aruba while our cruise ported for the day. Highlights were the Lighthouse, Alto Vista Chapel, Bushiribana Abandoned Gold Mine, and the Arikok National Park with all its natural beauty. Guise Andrew shared personal stories of his childhood growing up on the island, facts on the economy and history of the island and then even restaurant recommendations for lunch. We were picked up right outside the cruise port in a clean, comfortable and air conditioned van to enjoy all the views. A really great way to tour the island of Aruba.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Aruba Cruise Port Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oranjestad.
How much does Aruba Cruise Port Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oranjestad usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aruba Cruise Port Tours take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oranjestad is not rushed.
Is Aruba Cruise Port Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oranjestad, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aruba Cruise Port Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aruba Cruise Port Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aruba Cruise Port Tours?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oranjestad can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oranjestad and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aruba Cruise Port Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oranjestad within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oranjestad?
+
On Outty we rank every Oranjestad experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Aruba Natural Pool and Indian Cave Rugged Jeep Safari, Island Jeep Safari with Natural Pool Baby Beach and Lunch, Aruba UTV Adventure: Animal Garden, North Coast & Andicuri Beach. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oranjestad?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oranjestad?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Aruba Cruise Port Tours?
+
Included: Guide (English, Spanish, Dutch); Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Aruba Cruise Port Tours include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 65 listed pickup locations in and around Oranjestad. Be ready about 1800 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Aruba Cruise Port Tours offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Aruba Cruise Port Tours?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Aruba Cruise Port Tours wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
