Overview of Honeymoons in Aruba
For shopaholics, with radar for good deals, a honeymoon in Aruba is a top choice. Brand name items, particularly clothing and jewellery, can be found at extremely discounted prices on Aruba, due to the fact that it is a free zone. Partygoers will do well to plan their honeymoon in Aruba for the month of January, when the most popular celebration of the year takes place – Carnival! The celebrations of Carnival bring seemingly endless music, brightly coloured costumes and lively parades and dancing. If it’s water sports your looking for, you won’t be disappointed in the diving and snorkelling options that Aruba has to offer. Well known for their hospitality and laid back style, the locals will be sure to make you feel at home during your honeymoon in Aruba.
Dreams of cocktail sipping, beaches, and maybe a bit of salsa are typical for those planning a trip to the Caribbean. But don’t forget to consider these three activities if you’re planning a honeymoon in Aruba:
- Climb the steps (all 562 of them) up to the top of Haystack Mountain. From there you’ll be able to see all the way over to the mountains of Venezuela.
- A visit to Huliba Cave. Due to its heart shaped entrance, this cave is affectionately known as ‘The Tunnel of Love’. Ancient cave drawings cover the walls of the 90 meter passageway, just waiting to be discovered.
- Horseback riding. Who said riding horses was for cowboys? A calm ride along the coast, with the sun setting in the distance is just what the doctor ordered for newly wed couples!
