How to Spend One Day in Aruba - Vacation Vlog | What to Do, See, & Eat on “One Happy Island”!
Welcome to Aruba… Part 1 of 4! Also known as “One Happy Island”, this nearly 75 square mile slice of paradise definitely lives up to its moniker! We had the pleasure of spending a week exploring this beautiful and unique desert island and we truly enjoyed our time!
For this first video in our 4 part Aruba series we spent the day exploring some of the more popular areas and sites on the island like the capital city, Oranjestad; the 2nd highest point on the island, Hooiberg; the Aruba Aloe Factory & Museum; the Donkey Sanctuary; Eagle Beach, and MORE!
Be sure to check out our “One Day in Aruba” blog for more tips and recommendations for this beautiful island!

“I don’t remember, it was all a blur….. I was getting mugged by donkeys “ 😂😂💀💀 So dramatic. Cracked me up 😂

Bahaha 🤣💀 He said he learns from the best! (I think he’s implying me) 🙄🤣 I legit couldn’t stop crying laughing… he was soo beyond dramatic! 🤣 Thanks so much for watching & for your comment. 💗 - Nat

You two are the cutest and are always smiling. I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aw, thank you!!🥰

[@lailadecuba9201]

I'm from the island and you are doing an amazing job of highlighting what Aruba 🇦🇼 has to offer. Really brave of you guys going to the Hooiberg at that time with the sun and heat 😅 and yes the sunrise and sunsets there are the best 🌅⛰️. Hope your stay was pleasant and enjoyed all what Aruba has to offer 🙂

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aw, thank you so much!! That means so much coming from a local! And yes… Hooiberg kicked our butts in that heat! Lol… Thankfully we had plenty of water AND it’s a short hike! Would love to experience sunrise or sunset there though! We loved our time on the island! Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@timlisa2003]

Me and my wife are coming to Aruba for the first time in May. Can’t wait!

[@annalisahamlett1334]

I have watched this a few times, and dying laughing with you, when the donkeys were "mugging" Matt. Him leaving immediately, reminds me of ME, during a Drive thru Safari. We were in Texas, outside of Fort Sam Houston, one that you got to feed the animals. There were Ostriches or Emus, but they were running full speed towards our vehicle, and I screamed, and rolled up the window. Then I told my husband I was going to be brave, rolled the window down, and the bird's big beak, attached to his long neck, came pecking into the car. But it was so erratic, I swear he was going to peck my eyes out. I threw the food out the window, continued to say nope nope nope, as my hubby drove me to safety. What a drama queen 😂🤣

[@MeansToTravel]

Hahaha Matt being surrounded by donkeys was so funny to watch! I’m so glad you made friends with them at the end!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

😂😂 It was a stressful situation! Lol... But yes, we ended up on good terms by the end! 😂😂 We probably should've read ALL of the guidelines/rules before entering the gated area. Like the one that said that if you try to feed the donkeys inside the fence that THEY WILL SWARM YOU! Lol... Can confirm in fact, they will swarm you! Lol... Thanks for watching!😊

[@hititlucky]

Love this trip! Omg @ the donkeys! Y’all are the cutest!!!

[@miriamsandbrand1340]

We spent our honeymoon in Aruba 45 years ago! We only went back once on a cruise and didn’t get to see much. I remember the constant wind 45 years ago. It made the heat bearable. Definitely need to go back. Loved your video!!

[@TheOaksHeart2024]

I just found your channel and honestly yall are so much fun to watch! I love how you can laugh at each other and just have fun together. Love the videos.

[@annalisahamlett1334]

Those stairs without the railing did look a bit terrifying. But I did comment out loud, ok miss Angel's Landing, right before you said, at least it had a chain. I then said , you're completely correct. 😁

[@sunnynorris6888]

Loved the video you both are too funny keep them coming

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aww… Thank you so much!!🥰🥰

[@AmericansAtLarge]

What I would do to be in Aruba right now! 😂 We have snow and wind and icy roads here. ❄️ The food looks delicious there. Yes syrup for sure! C’mon Nat! I’m like Elf, I like syrup on my eggs and bacon. 🙂 Pretty architecture for sure! Wow! That hike is just like the one we did in Phoenix. Super 🥵 hot. Thanks for all the suggestions.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Right?! SAME! haha We can't wait to go back!! WHAT!? Really? Snow already? Being a Florida girl... that is wild to me! 🤣👌🏼 hahaha Syrup on everything!! Gosh that movie is great! lol Oh man.. when it's that hot out.. I'm like why aren't we at the beach the whole time?! haha but it was worth it in the end! lol Thanks so much for watching friends! We really do appreciate you! ❤️🥰

[@huntervoket7166]

I've never ever been to Aruba but it looks so nice. I love all the different colors of the buildings and houses. Very Very neat.

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

Idk what I thought Aruba looked like but it wasn’t this. 😂 Wow!! So many stairs. My knees hurt on the way down just watching y’all. 😅 but that view!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

RIGHT?! SAME!! It definitely wasn't what I was expecting but in the end.. it was so cool being so different from any other island I'd ever been to. It was like being in a European country but in the Caribbean. If that makes any sense whatsoever 🤣 My knees, legs hurt from just thinking about it! haha Girl we were so sore the next day! haha

[@Randilynn66]

We were there on a cruise stop. We went to that market. It’s amazing.

[@shanebfl]

My 16 year old son talked me into climbing Hooiberg with him. Pretty sure he was trying to kill me...almost positive. 🤣🤣 Love Aruba! We've been twice now and can't wait to start planning our third trip back.

[@georgecurry6108]

Great video never went to the Dutch Pancake place we went to Lindas Pancakes The other restaurant yes very good. The donkey farm is great never brave enough to go in. We also went to the aloe place ended up buying Aloe for the sunburn. Super Foods is great everything you need. Can relate to the wind and sand. This video brought back many memories from our visits to Aruba. Looking forward to the next three video. We never climbed to the top what was tougher that or Dimond Head .

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Thanks so much for watching George! We appreciate you! Well, we didn't realize until I was editing the vlog that it says to feed them behind the bars 🤣🙈🤷🏼‍♀️ oops. YES! We bought that stuff too! It was awesome! I just used it when I burnt myself with a curling iron and it healed it so fast & never got a scar! The stuff works wonders lol 🤣 Awww love that it brought back so many memories! 🥰 Thank you so much for telling us all about the island & for your suggestions! Ummm.. both of us agree... Diamond was tougher!

[@KitatheExplorer]

LOL I'm with Nat on the hike up the mountain and heights lol. I just came back from Aruba and decided to pass on the hike after I heard how many stairs it was to go up. But I hear you can see Venezuela from there when its super clear.

Going to Aruba for our honeymoon in 3 weeks! I cant wait! we are undecided if we need a car rental to explore the island. what do you recommend?

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aww... Congrats!!🎉🍾 🥂 So exciting! We definitely recommend renting a car if you want to explore beyond your resort area... Which we also recommend! Not that there's anything wrong with the more touristy areas (Palm Beach and Eagle Beach), but we just LOVED how chill and relaxing the beaches on the north end of the island were (Arashi Beach, Boca Catalina Beach, & Malmok Beach). And you may not need a car for your entire visit, but I don't think you would regret having one for at least a few days. I hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching! 😊 -Matt

I'll be going to Aruba in June with a couple friends. Just curious about visiting the animal farms and then coming back into the US. Did they give you any issues? My friends are a bit concerned about doing that because the form coming back into the US ask if you have been in contact with any animals. Just curious?

I heard the storm hit a while back have the beaches been cleaned up?

We haven't been back since filming this in June/July of 2022, so we're probably not the best people to ask, but even when we were there right after the storm that rolled through during our trip, the beaches were great. Thanks for watching!
