DANGERS of ARUBA

[@kendrickmaeldun]

Here’s another Aruba tip. If you plan to go to Natural Pool, wear some kind of foot coverings. It’s made up of jagged, slippery rocks and can result in some unintended injuries.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks for this GREAT TIP Kendrick!!

[@user-ri5oc5rw5b]

Wear shoes also don't bring rich or expensive rings cause once you jump in the natuural poel you lost maybe depends

[@labbeaj]

My ankles became so strong after visiting Aruba! There's no soft grass or dirt anywhere!!

[@livefreeordie3992]

Several years back an elderly man who we traveled with on the plane drowned in the surf(4 to 5 Ft waves) from a storm out to sea. The incident happened in front of the Divi Divi and he was 30+ yr visitor, so anybody that's been tossed and got a little sand in the swim suit will tell you, it can happen anywhere on the beaches.Also be aware that getting a loved one back home that has died can be a daunting experience,if you don't have good insurance at least carry your funeral directors contact with you. Our Home Away FROM HOME is very safe and full of friendly people,enjoy, you'll be back.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

So sorry to hear this, yes it can happen anywhere. I will definitely be talking about these south side areas at some point (in another video). As you mentioned it can be a daunting experience I wish no one will ever have to go thru again. Thanks for your input!

Great video! My wife and I will be visiting Aruba and are looking forward to seeing this beautiful island. We'll be doing some snorkeling and, having done quite a bit of that in the Bahamas, we'll be careful (I hope) not to brush up against any sea urchins. I've done that a couple times and can speak from personal experience that their very sharp spines can penetrate the skin like a warm knife going through butter, then they break off and are very difficult, and painful, to extract. If you're snorkeling over any reef areas, or even anything other than sand, watch out for those little fellas.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

True, thanks for mentioning it!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

It's true, it can be dangerous too. Perhaps one day I will make a part 2.

[@borewyrm]

In NYS we have both traffic circles and roundabouts with more being built all the time. They ultimately make driving safer and easier, but for non locals they can be confusing while trying to figure out where you should be exiting.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

True, I'm not much a fan of them but in some cases they help.

[@reidbalzer9514]

This is hilarious. This video just makes me want to continue to go to Aruba. Although yes these are concerns, they are super minor compared to any other Caribbean destination. Just watched several videos on Punta Cana, they were far worse.

[@riac5388]

I loved Aruba, been there once and planning to return. However, I got sun poisoning for the first time in my life while in Aruba. I was in bed for almost 2 days and I had red bumps everywhere. I live in the states, not far from a beach. I always love being the sun and I don't burn easily, but the sun in Aruba is no joke. I was also wearing 30spf sunscreen but it was not enough. Next time I go, I'm using 60+ UVA/UVB and will try to remain under the Palapa as much as possible also avoiding direct sun during the strongest hours.

Thank you for a very informative, common sense and practical video - I have been fortunate to have traveled to many places with my husband, kids and friends over most of my life ...but I have never planned or taken a trip on my own. This year, I decided that it was time for me to find a place to escape the winter in Canada, for at least 1 month, with or without company. I have never been to Aruba, and was focusing on the places, I absolutely loved , but it was my mom, who suggested that Aruba was the place to go. After doing some research, talking with a few people, I realized my mom was probably right. My trip is booked, I am excited to be creating my own adventure and your information confirmed - I will have an amazing time. Appreciate the information

Thumbs Up for Hyro! Definetly as a Taxi Driver that is indeed most of the things that I hear in mothly basis that visitors encounter during there stay! Super Good advise. Even with Sun Block you still need to combine shade with Sun. Being whole day in Sun is poison fever in your skin. Refreshing after burning with a towel Ice cold water helps a lot with that pentrating fever in the skin. By the watersports incidents and UTV tours we Arubians become very Sad when we hear the Sad stories. We really care and ask people please be Carefull. Hyro Love your Videos.🙏👍❤️

[@timtucci]

The other thing about the trade wind on Aruba (as pretty much anyone who's been there will notice) is that you WON''T NOTICE that you're burning in the Sun. We learned the hard way on our honeymoon 25 years ago, and (like dummies) forgot the hard way some years later on our next trip. I'll never forget the Missus picking (ok, cutting then cutting open) aloe leaves by Baby Beach after some locals' advice. In the decades since, we always buy the local Royal Aruba sunscreen. Great stuff. While I'm here, I'm reminded of that T-shirt I loved that I bought on our honeymoon with a drawing of a stork saying "Man, I love this island" or something like that. Sadly, my wife got rid of it after I "fatted out of it" forever ago. :)

Q1q1

[@arthurponsonable]

Maybe it us good to mention next time about Baby beach. Despite its name and the security of shallow waters, most drowning by tourist has had its occurance at this beach, simply because they go snorkling and want to see the outer reefs, which are beatiful, but the danger to the non-advanced snorkler are the rip-currents that will cause you to panic and could result in getting you injured or fatal. So always ask someone that knows the area for advice. That is the safest way to navigate in Aruba.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thank you so much Arthur! Tip well received and I will keep it in mind for future video(s). It is indeed a deceiving area due to it’s name and calm inner waters.

Hi, could you provide safety tips for visiting Aruba during carnival?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Unfortunately I am off the island for a while so no video on this but: take enough water or something to drink with you as well as sunblock, a cap etc. Try to watch the parades at the beginning. I often see tourists watching the parades at the end which is not the best. By then it’s somewhat disorganised and there are more drunks around which sometimes leads to people who cannot behave. Also the best spots are taken early and many pay for them too. However if you explain that you are a tourist you will often be welcomed to join (for watching). Park your car in a safe place far from the route, this way you can leave early if needed. Park close and you may risk being blocked out.

[@andyprem]

Hyro I appreciate your caution but I think Aruba is one of the safest places I visited. but I agree about your caution about the two different coasts you mentioned. I love the roundabouts I cannot imagine the traffic nightmare you would have had if you had lights or 2 way stop signs. lol . I am leaving tomorrow . but may be another time!!

Do not let you fear keep you from experiencing the world. All of the advice here is good and good to know. Being careful of where you swim is probably most important. Pay attention to the turbulence in the water. It is probably obvious to most but if the water is turbulent, swimming is dangerous.

[@dougmonroe3381]

Everybody knows about the dangers of cacti, Hyro, but growing up on Aruba as my brothers and I did, we all came to know a kind of stinging nettle that grew wild across the island that we kids just called "7-day-itch." If your skin simply brushed against its hairy leaves, those little "hairs" were actually more like tiny needles that then embedded themselves in your skin. So, when you scratched yourself, you just took off the tops and the rest were embedded in your skin, causing a rash-like condition that could last for at least a week -- thus the name! And while you did mention the rattle snakes (even the little white ones were dangerous), when we lived there, there was also a venomous species of coral snake -- with brightly colored rings. You might see more of them on Trinidad or Tobago, but we had them too.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks for adding to the topic. I'm wondering if you refer to the "Bringamosa"? Sounds very similar and we stop the itching with some fresh aloe nearby (works like magic). The Santanero also has come venom but not deadly. Don't think it has colors though, so might not be the same.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

My Pleasure! I don't have the exact figures but in general Aruba is very safe. Just use common sense and you should be ok. Sharks have been filmed at the shore near the Tamarijn recently, but small ones. While some people panicked, it was nothing serious and I've never heard of a local shark attack (btw they are extremely rare near the shore or at the beaches). As for other creatures we do have the Green Moray Eel which lives mostly where it's rocky. So try to never swim too close to the rocky shores, for example at Tres Trapi beach. They will usually not attack you unless they feel threatened. They are rarely seen because they love to hide and basically non existent at the sandy beaches like Palm & Eagle beach.

Un abrazo y feliz de saber que a lo menos tienen algun tipo de proteccion.

@@LetsgowithHyro Thanks a lot for your information dear friend! Very useful for us!. I think, we are going to have problems in Panamá which doesn't accept Sputnik V😢😢😢 ( I'm the problem, my husband was vaccinated with Sinopharm which is accepted)up to the moment. We'll see what it happens from now on. Abrazos de los 3! Sorry for bothering you. Have a nice week!🤗👨‍👩‍👧

I was stung by a jellyfish about ten years ago while floating out in the water in front of our timeshare near the Pelican Pier. It was not long after a big storm. For the naysayers let me tell you it hurt like hell and left whiplike marks on my leg.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Wow, sorry to hear this Karen. Yes I've heard about the pain being very very bad. Storms do tend to bring change to our waters every so often so it does make sense (unfortunately).

[@rebeccabotts5167]

Going beyond the buoys at Baby Beach is also very dangerous. People have died there.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Good point, buoys should be respected everywhere but especially at➡️ Baby Beach⬅️

I was in beautiful breathtaking ARUBA for the first time 9 24 22 to 10 1 22 I NEED TO RETURN!!!!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hope to welcome you again😊💫🙌🏼

[@frederickvondinkerberg7721]

Appreciate the info Hyro... My first summer vacation to the Florida coast we didn't know about the Stingray's... the locals all knew but the tourist rush in to the water and get a severely painful sting and possible secondary bacterial infection... the other danger you missed out was people trying to sell you time shares !!... Also Aruba is 12 degrees north of the equator not 9 12°31′07″N 70°02′09″W (is Oranjestad)

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Good points!! There are a few sting rays spotted here (I've never seen one here myself). The time shares are a thing but maybe to a lessor extend dangerous. I may do another video at some point with some issues that others have pointed out and this could be one of them, thanks! Uh 12 degrees, how did I ....permit me.... "freaking miss that" and why I thought 9 degrees. I'm going to have to go over my voice over texts a bit better but you are right I blew that one . Thanks for pointing it out!

[@masonchance6526]

Are there scorpions in aruva

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Rare to see them but yes there are.

[@leoaero1948]

Informative!!🏆💯

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Glad you think so!

[@masterbuilder6375]

If you go.... once you get there...YOU WON’T WANT TO GO! Me and my wife had a damn blast 💥 August 2021 7nights

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Most say that is a danger too (not wanting to leave) haha

[@leplusbeaudesbabtousdu7385]

What about the wild dogs?

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Good point, I do agree we need to do a lot more in that regard!

[@mischelmatos1164]

very nice video good information.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Many many thanks

[@jcharnele]

I learned about the sunburn the hard way!! It was the worse!

[@LetsgowithHyro]

So sorry to hear 😔😢

[@richardnone5644]

i have been there many times with no issues but that was over 20years ago

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Hi Richard, thanks for watching, time for a return?🏝

[@andis60]

Great video

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Thanks for the visit

[@conniebennett995]

Thanks for sharing. You didn't mention lizards or iguanas.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Iguanas could bite but won't if not approached.

[@karaitskara]

@@LetsgowithHyro I noticed there were almost NO iguanas this summer, when in previous years there were always a lot of them around the resorts. Even though one bit my finger 10 years ago (because I was pushing him off of my chair), I still think they are cute and I missed seeing them!

[@noherekruger3738]

Those roundabouts are terrifying. Do NOT buy sunscreen in Aruba, its very expensive, just bring some.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

They are☺️

[@daveduffy2823]

Snakes? How on Earth did they get there? I got enough rattlesnakes where I live - Eastern Diamondback.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

The Boa's must have just been let loose, they are not native to the island. The other 2 types I do not know but they are in the meantime endemic.

[@rebeccabotts5167]

Try not to get scraped by coral because you can get a nasty infection.

[@LetsgowithHyro]

True, thanks for the tip👍🏼

[@deep2732]

you didnt cover the main danger of aruba......your wallet tends to become much lighter after 2 weeks at palm beach lol

[@LetsgowithHyro]

Good point, I can't argue with that LOL! :-)

[@wandayanez2454]

Excellent advise.

Glad it was helpful!
