Check out Halloween Madness 2022
Heading to Aruba over Halloween is always something exciting for travelers to look forward to. When adventurers coming this way this time of year aren’t out exploring the beaches and beautiful scenery that’s accessible year-round, they can just as easily embrace the holiday fun that’s within reach! One event to consider when you’re in the mood to make the most of spooky entertainment during your Aruba travels is Halloween Madness. This annual Halloween event is hosted at the Perle d’Or which is located in central Noord and Oranjestad, not far from the scenic beaches in this area. The party kicks off at 8:00 pm on Saturday, October 29th, and will run into the small hours of October 30th. The event is open to the general public and will include everything from live music and Halloween-themed snacks to scary décor and plenty of Bloody Mary cocktails to go around. Feel free to dress your Halloween Best for this fun event you won’t want to miss!
Explore One of the Island’s Most Haunted Destinations!
For some travelers, Halloween in Aruba is a chance to embrace the best of modern island living in October. For others, this time of year inspires a desire to look into the past and some of the destination-specific paranormal events that come with that adventure. While several places across the island are highlighted as haunted amongst those who enjoy exploring the otherworldly, Frenchman’s Pass often tops must-visit lists for those looking for spooky locales to experience for themselves this time of year. Frenchman’s Pass is situated between the Spanish Lagoon coral cliffs along a narrow passageway. From this vantage point, visitors can see what remains of the Balashi Gold Mill. Legend says that Frenchman’s Pass was once the location of a French invasion in the early 17th century. During the invasion, many island tribal members perished within the area’s caves as the French attempted to smoke their enemy out into the open. Today, those who are fascinated with the paranormal are drawn to this area as it’s reportedly haunted by those who were trapped. Reports range from hearing crying noises in the area to seeing orbs of light that seemingly come out of nowhere around the lagoon.
Book a Private Family Island Tour
While exploring independently during a Halloween trip to Aruba can be exciting, sometimes, the best way to see it all without missing out is to let the local experts lead the way. When you’re heading this way this time of year, consider booking a private family island tour through the team at AGW Tours.
