Additional Information
Conducted every 30 minutes, our guided tours are engaging and packed with useful information. An experienced tour guide will initially acquaint you with the adult emus and ostriches. You will find out about the impressive speed of the ostrich as well as other measures it takes to evade its predators. You will be both amused and amazed learning about their mating, rearing, and feeding lifestyle. You even get the chance to feed these audacious creatures by hand. Be careful though! Given that ostriches are perpetually hungry, if you have food with you, you might find yourself circled by a flock of inquisitive animals.

Great time! - The tour was great and Harold was very informative and answered all our questions. He took photos of everyone feeding the ostriches and had a great dry sense of humor! We did feed an ostrich out of our hands, they do pinch you a bit but it was worth it! The food we had for lunch was also delicious!
- I saw some reviews complaining they ask for a tip but almost every tour we went on they asked the group for tips after. So I don’t see any issue with that.

Great experience in Aruba - Great experience ! We stumbled upon the Aruba ostrich farm on the way to the national park. The tour guide was great and let us spend a lot of time with the ostriches and emus! Fun experience with great smoothies to boot!

Love these crazy birds! - This tour was one of my favorite things from Aruba. The ostriches are so fascinating to watch and the tour guide was very informative! I didn’t expect to love this as much as I did. My two teenage daughters felt the same—well worth the trip there!

Ostrich farm in Aruba is Superdeeduper!! - This is an absolute must see in Aruba!!
Harold was Superdeeduper as our tour guide.
He was patient and encouraged us to interact with the ostriches .
The ostriches were beautiful and healthy and very nice to interact with.
I’d never been so close to an ostrich!
Harold encouraged us to feed the ostriches from a pan.He then took our video and pictures!
He also offered that we feed the ostriches by hand!!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
We hope to go back when we visit Aruba again.
Thank you Harold and the ostriches!!🎉

An amazing experience :) :) - Ostriches, emus, peacocks, oh my! I visited the Ostrich Farm in October with three friends. We were the very last arrivals that day, and had our guide Tanya all to ourselves. Tanya was extremely knowledgeable, warm and engaging. Most importantly, her genuine love for the animals in her care shone through. The farm was one of the highlights of my Aruba vacation, and I highly recommend it to any visitor.

Great tour - We visited the ostrich farm as part of our half day excursion. The farm has a really nice gift shop with unique stuff. They have a bar and restaurant where you can get smoothies, cocktails, burgers and other food. We got a tour and the guide was very friendly. She let us feed the large ostriches and the babies. It was a very informative tour and I learned a lot.

Short, fun and informative - The guide was very informative and funny. The only thing I didn't approve of was him asking for tips. I always tip tour guides and I've noticed a lot of Americans do. I just didn't think it was appropriate. The lunch was very nice and the experience with stretches is really fun
