While Sint Maarten is located in the North Eastern Caribbean and close to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, Aruba is in the South, off the coast of Venezuela. This island is also part of the Dutch Caribbean.
The climate is in contrast to St. Maarten dry and creates an arid xeric landscape. Aruba is fortunate to be outside the hurricane belt, where tropical storms are a threat for several months per year.
The tourism industry is well developed, attracting mainly visitors from North America.
If you are considering a visit to Aruba, don't miss a catamaran cruise with Ocean Faith Watersports. They also have a selection of water toys to keep you busy during your stay.
