Golf
Does your ideal vacation involve putts, lags, and eagles? Are you on your happiest when swinging a golf club? Then you are in for some good news. Aruba is one of the best Caribbean islands for golf. Combine perfect weather and relaxation with pure joy on our golf courses.
There are two fantastic golf courses in Aruba, which makes it a very attractive golf destination.
At the northern tip of the island, you’ll find Tierra Del Sol Resort & Golf, boasting an 18-hole PGA-approved gem designed by the renowned Robert Trent Jones II. Tierra Del Sol has sweeping panoramic ocean views and spectacular desert scenery at every hole. It’s no wonder it was given a Place To Play rating of 4.5 stars by Golf Digest.
The Links at Divi Aruba is a lush, nine-hole course nestled between the luxury vacation villas at the Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort. Designed by Litten & Viola, The Links offers beautifully manicured fairways surrounded by indigenous vegetation for a truly unique Caribbean golf setting. It is open to the public, with preferred tee times for Divi Resort guests.

Island Tours
This is a great way to navigate the island in a single day without a map! You are now part of a jeep tour "wagon train" that will often contain 10 or more four wheel drive vehicles, consisting of Jeeps and Land Rovers.
Organized jeep tours often stop at the California Lighthouse, charming Alto Vista chapel, Seroe Crystal, the Bushiribana gold mill ruins, famous Natural Bridge, through the back roads to the Guadirikiri caves and finishing off on a private island that is located just a five minute ferry boat ride from the main land.
Arikok National Park
The Arikok National Park land area encompasses the three primary geological formations that shape the island of Aruba: the Aruba lava formation, a quartz diorite formation and a limestone formation extending inward from the coastline. These formations have played an important role, not only in supporting unique, indigenous plants and wildlife, but by influencing historic human settlement and activity patterns on the island.
The rock outcrops, boulders and crevices between the various formations create micro-climactic conditions that support unique examples of indigenous flora and fauna. As a result, the park is the habitat of several animal species found only in Aruba including two snake species: the cascabel, Crotalus thurissus uni-color (Aruba island's rattlesnake) and the santanero, Leptodira bakeri (Aruba cat-eyed snake); the kododo blauw, Cnemido- phorus arubensus (Aruban whiptail lizard); and two bird species: the shoco, Athene cunicu- laria arubensis (Aruban burrowing owl) and the prikichi, Aratinga pertinax arubensis (Aruban parakeet).
