Must do for animals lovers! - As an animal lover, this tour was top of my list for our trip to aruba and it did not disappoint. Got to visit the donkey farm that had so many beautiful donkeys along with an assortment of other beautiful animals. Afterwards, got to visit the ostrich farm with a very informative tour with the best tour guide. Ended the tour at Philips where it was like a little feeding zoo. Enjoyed that so much. Got up close an personal with many animals!

The cost was more than reasonable, great experience, fun for all ages - Donkeys were cute and friendly, peacocks pretty and the cats were cute as well. Ostrich’s were large and you could feed them for a photo op. Animal farm was strange with so many goats and turtles , little monkeys were so careful when i offered them some of the food we were given at the entrance. Tiny little hands. The miniature horses were kind of in a small area that should have been larger for exercising. The camel didn’t spit as he saw food was coming. Our driver was great with lots of information and we had more than enough time especially since it was so hot we were given as much water as needed. Took about 5 hours.

So Much Fun - The donkey sanctuary was a delight with unexpected beautiful peacocks and some very friendly cats. The ostrich farm tour was set up well and the tour guide was very informative and funny too. The farm also has a nice bar. Good gift shops at both. The animal sanctuary had a bunch of different animals and being able to feed them was cool. Some of them were former pets and very friendly. But not the geese. They were d**ks. El Tours did a great job with transport and keeping us on time.

Great interaction with the animals - Absolutely loved this tour. Saw loads of different species of animals which were well cared for. The staff had great knowledge of the animals in thier care. Loved the fact you could buy food to feed the animals which made the interaction better. Would highly recommend this trip

A must do in Aruba! - This tour is a must do! Enjoy pick up and drop off at most hotels, which we did. The one hour stops at each place was just the right amount of time to enjoy the animals. Our guide, Danny, was amazing and you can tell he enjoys what he does. The tour was seamless and well worth it!

Emus and donkeys and deers, oh my! - I booked this tour for myself and my husband as a suggested experience from our hotels website. We had a great time visit Philips animal garden, the donkey sanctuary and the ostrich farm. We had the opportunity to see them up close. Some we were able to pat and we could feed nearly all of the animals we saw. I was especially excited to feed monkeys! The tour guide/bus driver was very nice and kept offering cold water to us. He got us to and from our hotels and each stop quickly. The staff at each place were very knowledgeable of the animals and it seemed like they truly enjoyed their jobs. Only downside is not a ton of time at each place. We definitely could have stayed at the animal longer. Over all it was a great activity and we would do it again.

Poor experience. - This trip was advertised as utilizing air conditioned buses. We instead were transported in an old, repainted school bus, with windows removed . Donkey sanctuary and ostrich farm were a good experience. We thought Philips animal garden was poorly maintained and not worth the trip.
