 Let me tell you why I love Aruba so much and why I think traveling to Aruba rocks big time.
Tourism dominates the island of Aruba with many opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. Aruba is also known for the unique scenery, which includes unusual rock formations, Indian caves and a natural rock bridge. Tourism is the mainstay of the small, open Aruban economy, with offshore banking and oil refining and storage also important. The rapid growth of the tourism sector over the last decade has resulted in a substantial expansion of other activities.
Temperatures are consistently mild, there is no rainy season, the island lies completely outside the hurricane belt, and the sea temperature hovers around 82 all year long. January, February and March are the most popular times to visit. Temperatures are almost constant at about 28 C (82 F), moderated by constant trade winds from the Atlantic Ocean. Yearly precipitation barely reaches 500 mm (20 in), most of it falling in late autumn. Ocean conditions are perfect for water sports, scuba diving and snorkeling.
