Feriehus i Arashi Beach

We'll begin with a short introduction to each other and a short and detailed summary of the hike ahead. We'll start off on a single trail where we most likely will not see other people. I'll stop every now and then to point out various interesting flora and fauna we encounter; maybe we’ll even see some land crabs or crested caracara’s! At about half way we will take a short pause at the scenic “Boca Keto”, here you will be able to take some beautiful pictures and quickly re-energize before we continue. Once we reach the Natural Pool I will tell you about it’s formation and it’s history. If weather condition allow so, you may even swim or snorkel in the Natural Pool. After a while we will start our journey back to the starting point. The walk is the same way in and the same way out.The whole trail is not shaded and mostly desert terrain and white sandy beaches. You will also be able to enjoy an amazing view of the Caribbean Sea. This is the ideal small group activity of maximum 8 guests per hike. If everything goes according to plan we should be finished in more or less 3 hours. Included in the price is a day pass for Arikok National Park valued at $11. Other things to note Please come properly dressed and if possible water to drink (I will also be providing water bottles). Consider you will be walking in some rough terrain so please have proper footwear. Preferably good hiking shoes, at the minimum some sneakers. I highly discourage wearing flip-flops.

We will meet at the Eco Living Shop where I will show you my workshop as well as some of the tools I use to make Bee Boxes and process the Bees wax. We will then proceed to the "Bee Nursery" where I will discuss how I raise Bees as well as how I manage them at the "Bee Nursery". We will then travel to a few locations where I have the Bees. I will point out the different flora in the area that may affect the flavor of the honey. Some of the locations are residential so you may also meet some of the locals that help host my Bee Hives. We will gather some honey at the different locations and do a tasting back at the "Bee Nursery". You will also be able to see and purchase some of the products that we make from what the Bees provide us. Other things to note I will have water available for drinking. Please be aware that Aruba is a very warm climate so expect to sweat a bit. Bring a towel with you in case you want to jump in the ocean for a swim to cool off.

We start at Mangel Halto beach were we will have all the gear that we need to go snorkeling. We start with a briefing of the tour and what we might see under water. Then we head out to the beach at Mangel Halto a locals beach and we do the the snorkeling tour. We offer pick up and drop off service any were in Aruba.

Arrive to my house, be greeted with a tasty and refreshing mocktail and the sounds of Caribbean music in the background, gather around my kitchen island as I introduce myself and share a brief history of the foods of the Caribbean including Jamaica and Aruba and the menu of the day. We are able to make Caribbean keto dishes as well if you request this upon booking. You are getting insider access to Caribbean cooking, family style (as opposed to restaurant style). People will be assigned to groups in order to help to prep and cook. We will chat and laugh and dance and make merriment as we cook. Once the food is cooked, we will sit and eat together. Other things to note Please let me know if you have any allergies. This is not a nut-free house.

This tour is the shorter version of my other tour on Airbnb experience: "Explore the southeast of Aruba by kayak" Because the Tour has an different start and end location, we will meet at the our final destination in Balashi. Together depending on the size of the group( max 6) I will arrange transport to the starting point Cura cabai. After a brief explanation on the equipment, conditions and the stops we will start our journey. We will kayak down wind for an easier ride to see : Savaneta area to pass by the famous Zeerovers restaurant, Pos Chikito area, Isla de oro, Mangel halto, several rifs (small islands) of aruba (where some locals spent there free time). There is always an chance to see sea turtles, breeding birds and other animals during the tour. Along the way we are able to take as many stops as you wish, typically 3 stops are taken to take photos and where I will be able to provide for some small snacks and refreshments. It is okay to bring along you're own refreshments or snacks. Snorkeling is not part of the trip. The afternoon session will experience an sunset on the water at the end of the tour. Other things to note You need to be able to swim, not afraid of dark blue ocean water. Weather conditions can change the sea and waves behavior and our break stops. Transportation challenges to get to the meeting point, msg me. Cut-off time for reservations is 20:30 PM. Need more time to decide, let me know.
