Aruba Vacation Rentals

The ideal Caribbean vacation used to mean hours of tanning on the beach, margarita in hand, with Jimmy Buffett crooning in the background. Today's traveler,however, seeks engaging and enriching activities as an alternative to simply lounging around the hotel. The trend towards active vacations can be seen in the growing awareness in ecotourism and interest in outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and climbing. The island of Aruba is responding to this increasing demand for active vacations by proving that it has much more to offer than Caribbean sun and sand. The island, 20 miles long by 6 miles wide, is the right size for convenient exploration off the beaten path while the semi-arid topography and geological formations offer a wealth of activities distinct from other Caribbean isles. With an incredible marine life as well, Aruba's diversity provides adventure for water babies and landlubbers alike. Spelunking in caves once used as pirate hideouts Most visitors don't expect to find underground caves on a tropical island. At the Guadirikiri cave, sunlight filters through two inner chambers, providing the perfect photo opportunity for cave explorers. The cave's 100-foot long tunnel is home to hundreds of harmless bats. Nearby, the Fontein cave is testimony to the island's native population. Still-visible drawings by the Arawak Indians decorate the cave's ceilings and are a powerful reminder of the island's indigenous history. Couples aren't the only ones who will want to visit the Tunnel of Love, so-called because of its heart-shaped entrance. A 300-foot long tunnel winds through eerie rock formations and narrow passages. Helmets and flashlights can be rented for $6 at the entrances to both the Guadirikiri and Tunnel of Love caves. Use our advanced search tools to find your Aruba Vacation Rentals.
