This half-day guided tour in Oranjestad lasts about four hours and includes visits to three animal sanctuaries on Aruba. The tour begins at the Aruba Ostrich Farm, where visitors meet a flock of 80 ostriches and emus and learn about their behavior and survival. After spending about an hour there, the group travels to the Donkey Sanctuary Aruba. This nonprofit sanctuary, founded in 1997, protects donkeys that have lived on the island for 500 years and were once the main mode of transport. The tour then continues to Philip's Animal Garden, a shelter and rehabilitation center that houses more than 50 species of exotic animals. Visitors can see, touch, and feed some of these animals during the interactive tour. The tour concludes with hotel or port drop-off. The price includes admission to all attractions, bottled water, local taxes, a professional guide, and hotel or port pickup and drop-off. Part of the proceeds supports the sanctuaries.
