The 4th of July is just around the corner and there’s no better place to celebrate than Aruba this year! The following are just a few of the many activities and options for fun that will have you packing your bags and heading this way to make the most of the sand, surf, and sun as soon as possible.
Book a Cruise and Make the Most of Oranjestad Fireworks
Many who make their way to Aruba over the 4th of July will be pleasantly surprised to find that the island does in fact celebrate this holiday as a way to help visitors celebrate the fun! While Independence Day is specific to the U.S. Aruba puts on a great show for travelers looking to make the most of celebrations and fireworks in abundance as well. Many of the 4th of July parties and fireworks displays are hosted in Oranjestad. In 2022, it’s expected that the Independence Day fun will be back dependent on health conditions across the board. After a day of strolling through Oranjestad and exploring the holiday festivities, a great way to make the most of the evening fireworks is from the water. Consider renting a boat on the 4th and heading out on the waves to take in the colorful display from this unique vantage point instead! Exclusive Boat Aruba VIP and Julio Watersports Eagle Beach are both great starting points when you’re ready to start making your boat bookings.
Take a Tour of the Aruba Aloe Factory
Those who head to Aruba over Independence Day are likely to find that their itinerary has them spending plenty of time under the sun. A great way to beat the heat and also go straight to the source of sunburn remedies is to book a tour of the Aruba Aloe Factor while you’re here! Located at Pitastraat 115, this incredible tour is a unique look inside the production process of a product that protects skin and heals burns that are common when spending time on a sunny island like Aruba. Tours are available in a variety of languages and depart every 15-minutes making this a convenient addition to the itinerary no matter how many activities you’re trying to fit into your holiday fun. During the tour, a friendly and knowledgeable guide will take you around the Aloe fields, across the factory, and through the museum to get a comprehensive look at how the aloe plant is grown, cultivated, and transformed into a healing property. This is a wonderful tour for those who are traveling with little ones and are looking to mix in a bit of education with engaging fun during a stay. It’s also an ideal option for those with a passion for the powerful properties of nature!
