Prices are in US dollars and each one carries its basis: per person, per vehicle or per boat. A per-vehicle or per-boat price covers the whole group, so it does not line up one for one against a per-person amount.

Direct with the crews
Six offers run by local crews, each with its own price and terms. For five of them you pick a date, we email the deposit link, and the booking is confirmed once the deposit is paid; the balance goes to the crew per offer, and each page says exactly how. Nothing is charged for the balance here. The Jeep rental is booked and paid on that team’s own platform.

The wider Viator catalogue
Tickets and extras beyond the 29 tours we vouch for. Listed from the supplier, not ones we have tested, and never mixed into our picks. The filters above do not reach this catalogue; it carries its own sort. We earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and it never decides what we recommend.
Sort
Wider catalogue, listed from the supplier, not one of our tested picks.
The figure on each card is the lowest price the supplier lists on Viator. Viator only publishes how that price is counted, per person or per boat or per group, on the listing itself, so the basis and what it leaves out sit on the tour page.

Straight answers
Before you pick a day
How many things to do in Aruba does this page cover?
33 in total: 29 paid tours we vouch for and 4 genuinely free days out. Every one was tried by us or vetted operator by operator.
What kinds of activities are on the list?
The paid tours span Luxury, Adventure, Water Sports, Dining, Cultural, Family, Photography. Below them sits the wider Viator catalogue: those listings come from the supplier, they are not ones we have tested, and every one of them says so on its own page.
Are any of the activities free?
Yes. 4 of the 33 picks cost nothing: local guides to places you can simply show up to, no ticket needed.
What do the prices on this page mean?
Every amount is in US dollars and carries its basis: per person, per vehicle or per boat. A per-vehicle or per-boat price covers the whole group, so it is not a per-person figure. Where we have a dated check, the tour page shows when we last read the price off the operator; otherwise it says the amount is the rate the operator publishes. Either way the booking page carries the exact rate for your dates.
How does booking a tour from this page work?
Each paid tour links to its own page on Viator, our booking partner, where you pick a date and finish the booking at Viator's own listed price. Aruba Playbook may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
Do the filters cover everything on this page?
No, and each group says so where it starts. The filters narrow the 29 curated tours only. The six direct offers you arrange with the crews through us, the 4 free days out and the wider Viator catalogue each sit in their own labelled section and stay on the page whatever you filter.
