In the center of the island you will find the Casibari Rock formations. A path leads you to the top of these giant boulders from which you have a great view of Aruba's landscape. On a clear day the entire island and possibly even Venezuela can be seen from the highest point.

The Natural Bridge was formed naturally over the centuries by the pounding sea. The Natural Bridge collapsed in September 2005 and was one of the largest of its kind in the world. It spanned more than 100 feet (30 meters) and stood 23 feet (7 meters) above sea level. The Natural Bridge is still a popular landmark as you can still visit the Baby Bridge.

ZoutmanstraatShopping
If you are serious about shopping in Aruba, then take the trip to downtown Oranjestad. As the capital of Aruba, shopping in Oranjestad is top notch.
If you arrive by cruise ship, you will have no problem finding the shopping district as L.G. Smith Boulevard runs right through it. The shopping area is also only a few minutes walk from the sea port. And if you are staying in a hotel further from downtown, then you can make your way there by taxi, bus or rental car. There is suitable parking, but do expect a little traffic as Oranjestad does get busy.
Also a recent addition is the trolley or streetcar at the cruise port, which offer free transportation to and from the main street downtown area.
