About Aruba
Why visit Aruba?
Aruba is an island in the southern Caribbean, off the coast of Venezuela, and part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its climate is dry and windy, most resorts sit on the calm west coast along Palm Beach and Eagle Beach, and the rugged east and the national park make good day trips. Packages from Canada fly into Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA), near the capital, Oranjestad.
Canadian vacation packages to Aruba combine a return flight and a resort stay. Several travel sites sell the same resorts, so the total for identical dates can differ from one site to the next. TripRadr shows those totals side by side, and you book on the site you prefer.
