Partying, snorkeling, kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddling, sunbathing, yoga, biking, scuba diving, shopping, nature viewing, swimming in the natural pools, caving, hiking, boating, windsurfing, riding at the artificial wave park, and last but not least visiting the donkey sanctuary, are all fun activities to do in Aruba.
