Travel Essentials to Prepare Before You Leave
Traveling to Aruba is easy as long as you have everything you need ready before you go. A few important items are necessary for entering the country, and having them prepared ahead of time can make your arrival smooth and stress-free. Before heading to the airport, double-check that you have the following essentials:
- Valid passport: Make sure you have your passport, and it is valid for the duration of your stay.
- Embarkation and disembarkation card: All travelers must complete an ED application to get into Aruba. You can do this at the airport, but it’s much easier to do it online before you arrive.
- Valid return or onward ticket: Have proof of your return ticket home.
- Prescription Medications: Make sure you have the correct supply of our prescription meds. Prescriptions from doctors abroad are not generally honored, so it may be difficult to get your medication refilled while you are on the island.
What to Bring to Aruba: Clothing
Now that you have the important things taken care of, it’s time for the fun stuff. The average annual temperature on Aruba is 82 degrees, so casual summer clothes are best. Temperatures can get a little chilly in the evenings, so a sweater or light jacket is nice. Also, plan to pack athletic wear if you plan to do activities like hiking and horseback riding. Here is what we recommend adding to your Aruba packing list:
- Bathing suits
- Flip flops
- Sandals
- Water shoes
- Swim-suit cover-up
- Wide-brimmed hat or cap
- Sunglasses Sturdy shoes
- Long sleeves
- Long pants
- Light jacket or shawl
- Beach bag
- Pajamas
- Undergarments
- Socks
Toiletries & Personal Care Items
