Horsebackriding: Aruba’s outback lends itself to exploration on horseback. Choose early morning or sunset rides for the coolest breezes and most active wildlife. Several stables group rides along the wild east coast, along beaches, and over inland terrain and cannot be covered by car.
Aan de noordkust is het ruwe terrein idiaal gebied om paard te rijden.
Mountainbiking: Flat terrain and deserted back roads make ideal conditions for bike enthusiasts. Traffic is too heavy in the tourist areas and on the main road along the western coast, and wind can be a deterrent for some. However, the paved roads and smoother dirt paths along the northern coast are scenic and enjoyable when the wind is calm.
