Itinerary
We begin with a visit to the historic Alto Vista Chapel, Aruba’s first Catholic chapel and one of its most treasured landmarks. The chapel is a beautiful place to take a moment of peace and reflection, surrounded by panoramic views. As we guide you through, you’ll learn about the chapel’s cultural significance.
Next, we’ll explore the Casibari Rock Formation, where you’ll discover massive, otherworldly boulders that create a natural playground. Take a short hike up to the top for breathtaking views of the island’s rugged, desert-like landscape. This is a fantastic stop for unique photos and an up-close look at Aruba’s geological wonders.
Our journey continues north to the iconic California Lighthouse. Standing tall against the coastal backdrop, the lighthouse offers stunning views of the ocean and surrounding dunes. Your guide will share the lighthouse’s rich history as a beacon for sailors and its significance to the island.
Our next stop is the unique Tres Trapi (“Three Steps”) – a natural rock staircase leading down to a clear, shallow swimming spot. This little gem is loved by locals for its incredible water clarity and occasional sightings of sea turtles. It’s a quick but memorable stop to enjoy the ocean views and get a glimpse of Aruba’s coastal charm. You can also book your snorkeling tour here to see the turtles.
To finish, we’ll indulge in a tasting of Aruba’s finest locally crafted rums. Here, you’ll get to savor a variety of unique flavors and learn about Aruba’s rum-making tradition. It’s the perfect final stop to toast to a day of adventure, culture, and relaxation!

5Amazing and different tour
Went on an island tour with Dusk till Dawn Tours in Aruba, and it was awsome! Our guide Alvin was super friendly and bubbly, just like a local should be. He knew so much about the island and shared cool stories about his family's history with the places we saw. The best part was this hidden shack where we tried tons of different rums made from local stuff. It was such a neat experience! I totally recomend Dusk till Dawn Tours to anyone who wants to see the island and find hidden gems. Thanks Alvin for an amazing trip!

About Palm - Eagle Beach
Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are Aruba's two main beach strips, with high-rise resorts to the north and low-rise hotels along wider, calmer sand.
Palm Beach and Eagle Beach run in a line along Aruba's west coast, a short way north-west of Oranjestad, and between them they hold most of the island's resorts. Palm Beach is the livelier of the two, with tall hotels, water-sports stands, restaurants and casinos behind the sand. Eagle Beach is wider and calmer, backed by low-rise hotels and dotted with trees bent by the steady wind.
