Drive Around Aruba With Me 🏝️

Aruba
2024/5/3 Edited to

... Read moreRenting a car in Aruba truly transforms your vacation, turning it into an adventure filled with discovery. While the main tourist areas are lovely, having your own wheels, especially something rugged like a Suzuki Jimny SUV, opens up a whole new side of the island. Many visitors wonder about the best way to explore, and I can confidently say a Jimny is a fantastic choice for navigating both paved roads and the more adventurous, unpaved paths leading to secluded spots. So, how long does it actually take to drive around Aruba? The island is relatively small, about 20 miles long and 6 miles wide. You could technically drive from one end to the other in under an hour if you went directly. However, to truly drive around Aruba and experience its diverse landscapes, you'll want to dedicate at least a full day, if not more, to leisurely exploration. My experience was fantastic, allowing for spontaneous stops and truly getting off the beaten path. When considering suzuki jimny aruba rental, think about its advantages. Its compact size makes it easy to maneuver through towns, and its 4x4 capability is perfect for reaching some of Aruba's most stunning natural wonders. For instance, getting to places like Boca Grandi beach, known for its beautiful pinkish sand and turquoise waters, or other less-traveled areas is a breeze with a Jimny. You won’t feel limited to only the popular spots; instead, you'll find yourself on a personalized BEACH HOP Aruba adventure! Planning your route is half the fun. Start your day early, perhaps with a quick coffee break as you head out. Driving along the coast, you can discover hidden gems like Mangel Halto Beach, a serene spot perfect for snorkeling in calm, clear waters. Further south, Baby Beach offers incredibly shallow, kid-friendly waters, ideal for a relaxing dip. The freedom of having a car means you can spend as much or as little time at each location as you wish, creating your perfect itinerary. Don't forget to factor in time for lunch! After all that driving and exploring, a meal at a local spot can be incredibly rewarding. While my trip included a stop at Young Fellow Bar and Restaurant for some delicious local fare, there are countless options. The best part about driving yourself is the flexibility to try different places that might be off the main tourist drag. Overall, renting a Suzuki Jimny made my Aruba trip an unforgettable journey of independent discovery, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the island's beauty and friendly atmosphere.

How much does it cost to rent a car over there? Or to pay for a whole brand new car?😂😂
