Aruba is a year-round sunny island lined with some of the world’s most beautiful sandy beaches and coves. The island is one of the three Dutch ABC islands of the Leeward Antilles in the Caribbean and it’s the perfect getaway destination for those seeking peace and tranquillity or adventure.
Upon arriving at Aruba Queen Beatrix Airport, there are two transportation options to get you from Aruba airport to Oranjestad; you can either take a taxi or a public bus. Taking an Aruba airport taxi is the fastest and easiest transfer option, taking about 10 minutes to reach Oranjestad city centre. Flat rates are set by the government, with the taxi fare from Aruba airport to Oranjestad costing $21 (€18.92). A cheaper option for transportation from Aruba airport to your hotel is to take the public bus, run by the company Arubus. A single bus ticket costs $2.60 (€2.34) and the bus journey, not including the wait time, takes around 15 minutes.
