There are very few shore dives, so most diving in Aruba will require a short boat ride to reach the sites. Along with amazing wreck diving, you can look forward to seeing large schools of fish and dramatic coral formations.

Aruba is a really relaxed and chilled out island, though still offers a lively nightlife. The hotels alone offer good evening entertainment, with casinos and great restaurants. Evening cruises depart from Palm Beach, where you can set sail on a romantic dinner cruise or a wild boat party.

Throughout the island is an abundance of both lively and chilled out bars, restaurants with fantastic food, and casinos open until the early hours. The island's bus service is a great way to get around the small island to see all the entertainment. Alternatively, a car is a great way to get around in the evenings and visit the lively capital city, Oranjestad.
