🌳🇦🇼 PLEASE HELP US PROTECT ARUBA’S ICONIC FOFOTI TREES! 💙

If you’ve visited Eagle Beach, you’ve probably seen our beautiful Fofoti trees! 🌴✨

They’re one of Aruba’s most photographed natural landmarks, but they need our care and respect.

🚫 Please don’t climb or sit on the trees.
🚫 Don’t hang bags, towels or other belongings from their branches.
📸 Take as many beautiful pictures as you like, while leaving the trees untouched!

These trees are part of what makes our island so special. Let’s protect them for future generations! 🇦🇼

As your local Aruba bestie, I believe enjoying paradise also means taking care of it. 💙

Have you ever taken a picture with the famous Fofoti trees at Eagle Beach? 🌳📸

You only have 24 HOURS in Aruba… GO. 👀🇦🇼

Here’s how I’m spending mine:

☕️ Breakfast
🏝️ Baby Beach
🍴 Local lunch
🎨 San Nicolas
🌅 Sunset

But now I want to hear YOUR version. 😂

You land tomorrow morning and leave 24 hours later what’s one place you absolutely HAVE to fit in? 👇

Unpopular Aruba opinion incoming… 👀🇦🇼

If it were my first trip, these are 3 things I wouldn’t do.

Not because they’re necessarily bad—but because Aruba has way too much to experience to spend your entire vacation doing the same thing. 🌴

My biggest one?

Don’t schedule every second. 😂

Some of the best Aruba moments happen when you have absolutely nothing planned.

Aruba regulars… what’s ONE thing you’d tell a first-timer to skip? 👇

Aruba has a funny way of doing this to you… 🥹🇦🇼

You come for the beaches, but somehow it’s the little moments you end up missing the most. ❤️

The sunsets. The drives. The food. That blue water. And that feeling of having nowhere else you need to be. 🌴

If you’ve been to Aruba before, what’s the ONE thing you wish you could bring home with you? 👇

And if your trip is coming up… 📌 save this because you’re about to understand. 😂❤️ by @arubabestie
