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.

Fun, amazing, educational - 10/10 recommend, this was so fun! We got to see A LOT of different animals, feed them, learn about them. Everyone is so friendly. They have drinks and sometimes food at each stop. Bring your sun screen. The tour says 4 hours but it’s more like 5 hours lol.

If you love animals, you will enjoy. If you don’t, don’t bother with this. - If you love animals, this is the tour for you. If you aren’t an animal lover, you will be miserable. The ostrich farm was the highlight. The tour guide at the ostrich farm was so informative and we learned so much. We really chose this tour to see the donkeys but I am sad to say that was our least favorite stop of the three places. Our bus driver just dropped us and we received no information or instructions on what to do. We took it upon ourselves to buy food and feed the donkeys. Phillips animal garden was great too (again if you love animals). They ran out of carrots when we arrived which was disappointing but we went back to the front after about a 1/2 hour of our visit and we were able to get some. It was fun feeding the animals. This was probably a one and done tour but it accomplished what we wanted and that was visiting the animals.
