TOP 5 ARUBA EXPERIENCES YOU MUST DO!

1. SeaTrek- Underwater helmet walk

Ever wondered if breathing underwater was possible? We know you did, because we did too and YES it is possible.

With SeaTrek underwater helmet walk, you will walk the ocean floor wearing specially designed helmets that will allow you to breathe and move underwater seamlessly. So, what’s SeaTrek? You wear a big helmet with breathing equipment and descend 10-15 feet to a cushioned seabed while following certain rules: hang onto the handrails at all times, walk and breathe, yawn to equalize pressure, and never look down. 

With SeaTrek, you’ll catch an up-close view of marine life, take unforgettable pictures and even have a chance to interact with a few sea animals.  The SeaTrek adventure is available at De Palm Island everyday!

 

2. Snuba 

Snuba is a cross between scuba and snorkeling, with zero dive experience needed. Snuba is one of our favorite activities at De Palm Island (or you can find it onboard the Palm Pleasure sail).

You can catch a glimpse of the colorful sea life, see amazing coral formations and roam around without heavy restrictive gear.

The best part about Snuba is that the instructor will guide you and show you the best parts of the coral moonscape, and believe us when we say that you will see so many different species and multi-colored fish, there’s so much more to discover that you can’t do with just snorkeling. 

3. Jeep Safari around Aruba

We know you can get around Aruba with a car or taxi, but believe us when we tell you that the best parts of the island are hidden and only reachable by Jeeps. Not only that, guides can tell you tall tales and amazing stories about Aruba and all its glory, making the adventure of discovery around the island so much better.

De Palm Tours has loads of Jeep Safari options that can take you to the best spots on the island, click this link:  https://depalm.com/jeep-tours/ and see for yourself!

4. UTV Off-Road Adventures 

There’s a certain thrill about driving around an island in your own UTV that is hard to explain, but is a must to experience.

You might wonder what’s the difference between UTV adventures and Jeep adventures? Let’s just say, Jeep adventures will get you to certain places that UTVs can’t but the excitement that you get driving a UTV while exploring amazing parts of the island is also unforgettable. a tractor parked in the dirt
