Aruba’s flat, placid waters along the leeward coast make for smooth-sailing catamaran excursions that can accommodate even very large groups.  Many catamaran excursions stop at several snorkeling hotspots, allowing passengers to plunge into the crystal-clear waters to discover Aruba’s underwater treasures.  Caribbean cocktails and snacks keep the party going on board, where your family and friends can mingle while enjoying the refreshing sea breeze and the stunning views of palm-dotted, blonde beaches.

Working up a sweat together with others is a great way to bond.  So why not organize a group kayaking trip for your guests?  Guided kayaking tours acquaint both novice and experienced kayakers with Aruba’s coastal waters, favoring the environs of the Spanish Lagoon and Mangel Halto, where kayakers can explore along the nooks and crannies of the limestone shoreline and among the mangroves that inhabit this area.  Many tours also include time for snorkeling, swimming, hanging on the beach, and even lunch, making for a well-rounded group outing!

Got a lot of animal lovers among your wedding guests?  If so, you should certainly consider a group visit to see the donkeys!  Once used as a means of transportation on the island, the donkeys were then left to fend for themselves in the wild once cars replaced them.  Over time, these wild donkeys have been rescued and brought to the sanctuary, where they are lovingly cared for.  Visitors can interact with the more than 100 donkeys residing at the sanctuary—feeding them, petting them, and simply enjoying their endearing antics.  A small gift shop offers donkey-inspired souvenirs, and an open-air lounge area invites guests to have a coffee while overlooking the grounds and enjoying the Aruban breeze.
