aruba fun stuff

i was in aruba in 2002 and didn't get to do a lot of fun things on the island.. has anyone done alot of fun excursions that they would like to share with me ? i am going thanksgiving week 2007...thanks. T

We have been going to Aruba for 20+ years. Some restaurants not to be missed: Aqua Grill (seafood), Hostaria del'Vittorio (Italian), Lighthouse (drop dead sunset view plus great italian), Chez mathilde (French),flying Fishbone (right out at the water edge), Madame Jeanette (as good as any NYC restaurant), Sunday Brunch at Ventanas del mar @ Hyatt Regency. There's a butterfly experience, many casinos, and great diving and snorkeling. If diving don miss the Atilla wreck or Sonesta Airplane wreck. We're going next week. If there's anything new, I'll let you know. Have fun. ps Lots of those restaurants sell out well in advance. Call early!

We've been going to Aruba for 25+ years. One of our favorite things to do (besides the restaurants mentioned) is the Jolly Pirate morning cruise- for 5 hours of fun, food and snorkeling!! We've even taken the whole family (16 of us, 6 mos to 58) and had a "Pirate Thanksgiving". Have Fun!

you will have an experience you will never forget. i was just there over thanksgiving week for my second time in 5 years and i plan on going back. some fun things are the 4wheeler tours and the jeep safari tours, just pick the right one for the level of enjoyment you are up for and the things you would like to see! there are plenty of dinner/snorkeling/party cruises in the morning and at night, some on selected nights only, and most include lunch or dinner and snorkeling gear. and pick the ones that have the most to offer for the price ! the beach there at this resort is beautiful also and its an excellent place to stay.visit the butterfly farm and the ostrich farm also, the light house, or rent a car/scooter and drive around the island and go shopping or to the casinos! its all awesome, just don't sit in
