Aruba
This Dutch island is home to the wreck of the Antilla - a 400’+ supply ship for a German submarine group during World War II, and the wreck of the Pedernales. Sites such as Malmok Reef, Barcadera Reef and Lago Reef are packed with schooling fish and dramatic coral formations. In between dives, Aruba caters to even the most sophisticated traveler with state-of-the-art casinos, first rate entertainment, accommodations in 5-star all-inclusives, an extensive array of fine restaurants as well as fabulous shopping in downtown Orangestad. As sophisticated as Aruba is, there are still plenty of off-the-beaten-track options including hiking, cycle tours, jeep safaris and even rock-climbing.
