Fall is just around the corner which means there’s never been a better time to pack a suitcase and set your travel sights on the island of Aruba. This destination is packed with fun and adventure to enjoy in 2022 and there’s no reason to miss any of it. The following are just a few of the many fall activities to add to your itinerary when your travel plans bring you this way.
Make the Most of Beach Time
Fantastic fall weather means that travelers headed to Aruba this time of year don’t have to miss out on anything in the way of beach time. If you’re a sun seeker excited to make the most of time on the sand, Aruba is an oasis of shoreline potential just waiting to be discovered. Set aside some time on the itinerary for a stop at iconic Palm Beach when you’re looking to get in on the heart of the beach-going action. This popular location is lined with high-rise resorts but opens up to beautiful blue waters and endless options for fun. At Palm Beach, you can easily pair your sunbathing with restaurant stops and shopping alike. It’s the heartbeat of Aruba nightlife when the sun goes down but during the day, it’s a great place to mix and mingle too! Those who are looking for more sandy space to dig their toes in will find it waiting at Eagle Beach during their fall visit. This destination is home to the infamous Divi-Divi tree and is known for its turquoise waters where swimming and snorkeling are as popular as time on the sand. Heading to Arashi Beach is a must for those beach goers excited to match their shoreline fun with time underwater diving for shipwrecks and coral reefs.
Enjoy the Aruba International Dance Congress
If your fall travels have you in Aruba between September 1st and September 4th in 2022, you’ll be just in time to enjoy the 1st Edition International Dance Congress! This combined dance and music fall festival will showcase four days of fun that includes everything from live music and social dancing to workshops, classes, performances, and more. Salsa and Bachata will abound at the Aruba International Dance Congress as well as dances from over 30 countries. Professional dancers and instructors alike will grace the island for this festival hopefully kicking off a tradition that comes around year after year. Be sure to keep an eye on the festival calendar as events will be held throughout Aruba including Renaissance Marketplace, the JFK Education Center, Cage Night Club, Paseo Herencia, and Araway Garden just to name a few.
Explore Oranjestad
When history and architecture are your combined passions, spending a fall day exploring Oranjestad is sure to inspire. This beloved capital of Aruba is known for its colorful Caribbean designs and Dutch-inspired facades that make for an eye-catching mix. Downtown Oranjestad is brimming over with charming cafes, boutiques, and shops to check out as you stroll. There are also several duty-free stores to browse when you’re looking to make your money go further. When you get tired of walking, you can always hop on the trolley that departs near the cruise terminal and heads through Oranjestad. It doesn’t cost a thing to ride and is a great way to take it all in conveniently.
Go Below the Waves
A fall getaway to Aruba comes with plenty of options for land-based fun, but if you’re looking to take your adventures under the water, that’s available too. Consider booking a tour with Atlantis Submarines Aruba while you’re in town for a truly one-of-a-kind experience below the waves. Located at L.G. Smith Boulevard 82 in Oranjestad, this company offers guests options to book submarine excursions that travel 130 feet underwater to explore the Caribbean Sea from a new vantage point. This is an activity that can accommodate travelers of all ages and lasts about 90-minutes total. While it’s fascinating to view marine life like turtles and barracudas from a cozy submarine, these tours also highlight shipwrecks like the Antilla which dates back to World War II. When it comes to comfort and safety, the submarine checks every box on the list. Guests will enjoy time on a U.S. Coast Guard-approved submarine that’s fully air-conditioned and also designed to be eco-friendly.
