Geography/Environment
Aruba lies at the heart of the southern Caribbean, about two-and-a-half hours by air from Miami, Florida and 15 miles north of Venezuela. The island is 19.6 miles long, and six miles across at its widest point, with a total area of 70 square miles. The island itself is quite arid. With steady winds, and little rainfall, Aruba can be described as the classic Dessert Island. However, the numerous resort properties have created lush oceanfront environments that give Aruba the tropical feel that travelers crave.
Activities
Aruba offers travelers many activities both at sea and on land including diving, wind surfing, golf, horseback riding, tennis, fishing, underwater tours, casinos and more.
Climate and Weather
Temperatures vary little all year. Average daytime temps (ºF) are in the 70's and 80's that dip into the 60's and 70's at night. January through June is the best time to visit but since Aruba is outside the hurricane belt, fall is fine too.
