Category: Things to Do in Aruba

There are endless beach vacation destinations in the world. But not all destinations offer an idyllic escape year-round. That’s where Aruba stands apart, offering constant sunshine, warm temperatures, and minimal rainfall year-round. And since we are located outside the hurricane belt, you don’t have to worry about tropical storms ruining your vacation plans. There is never a bad time to visit Aruba, so deciding the best time to visit is up to you. No matter when you visit our Caribbean paradise, Blue Aruba Rentals offers the perfect lodging for your vacation!

Aruba Climate

Aruba offers a beautiful tropical climate, refreshing trade winds, and more sunny days than any other Caribbean Island. Average temperatures are consistent throughout the year, hovering between 80°F and 90°F. Aruba has a wet and dry season but only averages around 18 inches of rain a year, so vacationing here is perfect year-round. Both seasons offer the perfect conditions for watersports, beach days, and outdoor fun. 

Here are a few things to consider when planning your Aruba vacation during the high and low seasons:

Dry Season: December to April

The dry season is the most popular time of year to visit Aruba. Many travelers plan their trip at this time to escape the winter cold and enjoy the island’s warm temperatures. Even though this is the most popular season, it is also the most expensive and crowded, so booking your accommodations and activities ahead of time is a good idea. The high season is the perfect time for travelers who want to experience the best weather and the bustling atmosphere of the island.

Off-Season: May-November

The off-season on Aruba is from May-November. Temperatures tend to be hotter, and occasional rain showers happen during this time. Rain showers usually only last a few minutes, so there’s no need to cancel your outdoor plans. If you are looking for a more affordable and quieter pace of life, the off-season is the best time to visit Aruba.

7 Unique Things to Do in Aruba

1. Making up nearly 20% of the island, Arikok National Park is home to several unique attractions and cultural heritage sites. Ask a ranger for a tour of Fontein Cave or Quadirikiri Cave and see rock drawings, stalagmites, and stalactites. 
2. Also, in Arikok, you can visit the Historic Gold Mines and see the remnants of the island’s gold rush history. 
3. If you are looking for scenic beaches away from the crowds, we recommend heading to Dos Playa Beach or Boca Prins within the National Park. The water can be quite rough here, so these beaches are best for relaxing and taking in Aruba's natural beauty. 
4. Spend a day in San Nicolas on the island's southeast end and stroll the streets admiring the city's murals. Make sure to stop for a drink at Charlie’s Bar while you’re here and support one of the island's longest-running businesses. 
5. One of the best ways to get off the beaten path is on a UTV vehicle. Sign up for a UTV adventure with De Palm Tours and see the best sightseeing spots on the island from the eyes of a local.  
6. Near the California Lighthouse, the Sasarawichi Dunes are a unique place to explore on foot and take in views of Aruba’s varied landscapes. 
7. Before cars, donkeys were the primary mode of transportation on the island. Today, many of these donkeys now reside at the Donkey Sanctuary, where you can visit, pet, cuddle, and hug one of their adorable donkeys.
