　　Aruba's second-highest peak attracts lionhearted souls with its 165m, 587-stair climb. Summiting Hooiberg (it means 'haystack' in Dutch) takes most people about 20 minutes, and the reward is more than worth it: you'll use the energy of a johnnycake or two, and on a clear day you can see all the way to Venezuela.

Must-see attractions

Aruba Ostrich Farm

　　With 18 ostriches, 16 emus and a bunch of ducks, geese, peacocks, chickens and turtles, this well-kept little farm makes a fun and educational stop on your way to the northern part of the island. Highlights include hand-feeding the ostriches (be sure to have a photo taken while you do...

　　Though this limestone cave is extensive, only the entrance hall is open to visitors. Aside from stalactites, stalagmites and other impressive rock formations, the cave contains well-preserved drawings by Caquetío people (a branch of the Arawak) that date back about 1000 years. Park rangers are on-site to provide a short...

Donkey Sanctuary

　　Make an ass of yourself doting on these winsome critters, who will follow you around for attention and snacks. Donkeys were brought to Aruba by the Spaniards, but many animals went rogue when they were no longer needed on farms. Unfortunately, they didn't fare well after automobile traffic increased on...

California Lighthouse

　　Up the hill from Arashi Beach, this tall sentinel is named for an old wrecked ship called the California, which is not the ship of similar name (Californian) that stood by ineffectually while the Titanic sank, despite much local lore to the contrary. The views are great and the wind...

　　Tucked between the low-rise and high-rise resort areas, this place will make your heart go aflutter, as the gorgeous gardens are teeming with butterflies and moths of all sizes and colors. Guided tours walk you through the lepidoptera life cycle, and the habitat provides for tropical dry forest and rainforest...

　　Powerful wave action has worn this depression into the coastal limestone ridge. The surrounding rocks break the surf, so – with waves crashing all around – you can take a peaceful, cooling dip. Bring your mask and snorkel and commune with the fish hiding out in here. You'll want water...

　　A classic white-sand beauty – but only for those who enjoy the company of lots of people, as it fronts the high-rise resorts. During high season the sands can get jammed, but for some that’s part of the scene. ...

　　Limestone cliffs, crystal-clear waters and crashing waves make this beach experience different from all others on the island. This east-coast beauty is popular with surfers and boogie-boarders. Otherwise, you might have the place to yourself (note that swimming is treacherous). 　　It can be a challenge to find Andicuri. If you...
