Travel Tips
Since ideal weather is virtually a sure thing throughout the year in Aruba, a bad time to visit does not really exist. However, January through mid-March is considered Aruba’s peak season, and therefore the most popular time of the year in which to travel to the island. April through August is considered Aruba’s off season and as such, prices are significantly lower during these months than during peak season. Aruba has its Carnival Celebration in the spring, and parties and parades are frequently seen on the island during this two-week period, which usually takes place in mid April. In October, one can visit the annual Aruba Music Festival during which he or she may even catch a glimpse of celebrities. Regardless of which activities and attractions one finds appealing, no one will ever regret a trip to this beautiful island.
