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.

Where to Go Snorkeling On Your Own in Aruba

• Boca Catalina: Although most popularly accessed by boat tours, you can also snorkel here on your own. Catalina Cove is located nearby and is one of the best spots to witness sea turtles while snorkeling.

• Arashi Beach: This beach is ideal for beginners due to its shallow water and sandy bottoms. Here you will find a reef abundant with coral and tropical fish.
• Tres Trapi: Known as one of the most unique snorkeling spots in the Caribbean, Tres Trapi is an excellent spot to witness sea stars!
