This fascinating tour focuses on the unique products that the tiny island of Aruba specializes in. You will experience Aruba's 160-year-old aloe history as you tour the Aruba Aloe Factory and Museum. Soak up legendary culture that surrounds the "biggest little plant on the island". Your tour visits the plantation where farmers harvest the aloe gel using centuries old techniques. Following is a walk through the factory where chemists formulate and produce the world's leading moisturizing and skin care products.
The Aruhiba Cigar factory exposes you to a family owned tobacco plantation. Join Mr. Petrochi and members of his family as they explain the extensive process used to produce their high-quality hand made cigars.
A tour of Aruba would not be complete without a stop at the Balashi Beer Brewery. Winner of two gold medals from the "Monde Selection" in Brussels - Balashi beer is considered to be Aruba's pride and joy. On this private tour, you will learn about Aruba's beer history and get a birds eye view of the brewing process from the gangway above the production area followed by a tasting of this legendary pilsner.
Your last stop at the Pinturitic Kunukoe House and bar allows you a taste of a local delight, Aruban rum. Blended from a secret old Aruban recipe, you will not want to leave without a bottle!
Please note: if you are arriving via cruise ship, please provide you cruise ship details in the 'Hotel Information' field.
