Absolutely Amazing!! - Such an amazing experience!! The walk to the top was well worth it!! Nothing was missing! There could not have been a better way to watch the sunset with my bf. The food was incredible…..my bf (who’s a big foodie) actually said that it was the best meal we had on the island and we had some great food while we were there. The host of our experience, Alessandro, could not have been any better. His attention to detail and great personality, combined with all of the other things I’ve already mentioned really made this experience unbeatable.

Perfect sunset meal w/ unbeatable view & service. - I surprised my partner with this experience and from the beginning Alessander greeted us at the bottom of the lighthouse front steps with enthusiasm and played into the surprise of what would be at the top waiting for us. 170 stairs get you warmed up for an indescribable breeze at the top, while being teased with windows open bustling natures AC along your way up. Appetite growing with each step, at the top there's two chairs and high top table adorned with planter, table settings, and speaker playing Top charts hits covers playlist..perfectly aligned on the side to avoid too high of winds. The perfect breeze and 365 views. Alessander was just a knock away if we needed anything. His personality and charm during food service surprised us and left us with smiles and laughter. He poured champagne for us and shared any answers to our questions regarding the island or personal! He called a cab for us after dessert and we feel like we made a friend for a lifetime. He does the stairs 6/7 times during dinner! We left impressed and this experience was by far my girlfriends favorite part of the trip we had. Alessander even gave us great suggestions for things to do after our dinner experience was complete. 10/5 stars!

Lighthouse Dinner for 15 Years! - Absolutely wonderful experience!!! So romantic, especially for our 15th wedding anniversary. 🥂 Worth every dollar! Alessander was fantastic! Very Funny and entertaining; spooking us every time he came up with each course. LOL 😂 Definitely would do again when back on this beautiful island.

Just…..amazing - So far, the best thing we’ve booked in Aruba. Our server Alessandra was amazing; funny, quick, super kind, and accommodating. The food was also DELICIOUS. Will be doing it next time during the sunset (we did it at night this time).

It's great! Do it, it's a once in a lifetime experience - It's a bit windy up there! Food was very good. A bit difficult to get into the seats, I think it would be easier to have seats without arms.
Alessandro, our host was amazing, I'd recommend him for sure!!
We did the later dinner, so you could really only see lights. I'd recommend the earlier dinner.
I am still rating the experience as a 5-star due to the amazing host and food.

Iconic Views & Tasty Finds at Aruba’s Lighthouse 🌅✨ - The California Lighthouse is a must-stop spot for photos and unforgettable views! We had so much fun striking different poses with the lighthouse as the backdrop—it’s one of the most scenic places on the island. Right nearby, there’s a restaurant and even a food truck with amazing drinks, making it easy to grab a bite or refreshment without going far. One tip: the wind really whips around the lighthouse, and with the dirt and sand, sunglasses are a must to keep it out of your eyes while taking pictures. Between the views, the vibes, and the convenient food options, it’s definitely worth the visit.

Wind Tunnel With Great Views - This is a “one and done” visit. I don’t think I’d return another time but it was great to see the island from the height and made for good pictures!
Before you go, things to know:
There are about 120 steps up to the top. It is a steep climb up and down with room for only one person going up and going down. If you got bum knees sit this one out.
The cost is 5 dollars per person.
It is windy as heck. Windier than when the Hall of Records was mysteriously blown away. Strap everything down.
When you drive there watch out for the D BAGS on their ATV adventure. The meeting place is nearby and boy do they hot dog it.
Nope, no potty. Nature’s there though.
