Everything you need to know about Aruba
Aruba vacations centre on One Happy Island, with Palm and Eagle beaches, constant trade winds and reliable sunshine outside the hurricane belt. Aruba wins on dependability: it sits below the hurricane belt, so it is dry, breezy and sunny almost year-round, with two of the Caribbean’s best beaches on the calm west coast. Beyond the sand, the island turns surprisingly rugged, cactus desert and wind-carved rock in Arikok National Park, and a walkable capital in Oranjestad. English is widely spoken and the island is known as one of the region’s safest and most welcoming.

Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking
Do Canadians need a visa for Aruba?
No. Canadians don't need a visa — just complete the free online ED-Card before flying.
How long is the flight from Canada to Aruba?
Direct flights are about 5h 20m from Toronto to Aruba (AUA), mostly seasonally.
When is the best time to visit Aruba for an all-inclusive trip?
Almost any time; December to April is peak, but Aruba is dry, warm and outside the hurricane belt all year, so shoulder months offer great value.
