The entire measurement of the Island of Aruba is 6 miles across by 20 miles tip to tip. While not a huge Island, it is varied in its terrain and is quite easy to get around.

The official language of Aruba is actually two languages~ Dutch and Papiamento. Virtually everyone that lives in Aruba speak at least two languages as well as English and Spanish. What you hear is a blend of all 4 of these languages. Don't worry, it's very easy and fun to speak. Bottom line, most will speak to you in English.

Aruba's official currency is known as the Florin. However, truth be known, most places on the Island prefer the U.S. Dollar. It's very easy to exchange and most places take the dollar. The conversion is 1 Florin to .56 U.S. cents.

In Aruba you drive on the right side of the street the same as in the USA.
