Aruba’s Hidden Gems was one of the most fun sightseeing excursions we’ve done in Aruba! 🇦🇼 We booked the Aruba’s Hidden Gems excursion while sailing Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas, and in this video we’re giving you our full experience and whether we think it’s worth booking. This one covered a LOT of Aruba. We explored caves with BATS, visited the Grotto of Lourdes, the Casibari Rock Formations, stopped at beautiful Mangel Halto Beach and saw several other parts of the island along the way. And let me warn you... the ride to the caves was EXTREMELY BUMPY. 😂 Think of it as a free massage included with the excursion! I also managed to smash the screen on my phone while taking pictures at the Grotto of Lourdes, so that was fun. 😂 Overall, though, we had a GREAT time. We thought the excursion was reasonably priced, we both give it TWO THUMBS UP, and we would absolutely recommend it if you’re looking for a sightseeing excursion that lets you experience more than just Aruba’s beaches.
