Unique things to do in Aruba

During this morning's walking experience, we will begin our walk with our first view of the spectacular rugged northern coast, we will continue on the isolated path through the countryside of the island where I will point out the various indigenous plants & animals as well as the gold and local history and teaching you some Papiamento (our local language) and expressions. At this point, we reach the northern dunes where we may be able to spot sea turtles nesting. This is the most unique and secluded beach on the island, which you need to see it for yourself. It is an off the beaten path. We will continue our way to the famous natural pool (Conchi). We'll be the first swimmers before all the packed jeep riders. The round trail is 3.5 miles with up and down parts, mostly flat. This is an easy and relaxing walk through an area that is relatively undiscovered & secluded where you will hardly find anyone else on the way all surrounded by the local flora and fauna. All levels are welcome as this is a very relaxing morning walk. Other days are available upon request. Tour companies charged over $100. Transportation to the meeting point or the start of the trail is not included. Highly recommended to rent a vehicle (no need of 4x4) for at least 1 day, so you can explore the rest of the island at your own pace.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed into our Garden where we will host the Workshop. There will be some light finger foods and Mimosas for you to enjoy. Non-alcoholic drinks will also be available. Each guest will then be able to pick out the colors they want for their Dreamcatcher. They will also be provided with all the remaining materials they will need to complete one. There will be scissors and hot glue guns, so the guest don't need to bring anything. Just their creativity and enthusiasm. I will then demonstrate how to begin weaving the inner web. I will help those who need extra assistance and allow everyone to go at their own pace. Next, I will show examples of how to add the finishing embellishments such as string, ribbon, yarn, beads and feathers and each guest can create their own dreamcatcher using their own personal style preferences. It will be a very comfortable and calming environment and my goal for the event is to help make everyone feel relaxed and be able to make a nice crafting memory they will cherish for years to come. I always say this at all my workshops, please remember if this is your first time making it, that you are not here for perfection, you are here to learn something new. Be gentle with yourself and don't worry to much about the results. Just have fun and enjoy the process.
