[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP-- also thinking of going to Aruba with similarly aged kids (plus a teen-- all girls) this summer. What sorts of non-beach activities are there on the island? Is there anywhere to hike? Good shopping? We would enjoy the pool and the beach but not all day everyday. [/quote]

Rent a car and you can drive all over the island including the national park.  I went with a 3 and 7 year old -- they loved the Gold Mine hike, and also the Gold Mine that is older and close to the road, the caves, hiking around the north of the island where there is a blowhole, going down south to Baby Beach area and Boca Grande (good kitesurfing beach and usually small waves for a different adventure, sometimes the waves can be too big for little kids but we are like 3/4 good condition days).  You can also ride horses.

It's a really fun and safe island if you like to explore.

We also like Bonaire for exploring though most people who go there are older and dive.  They have an even cooler National Park and a lovely kid beach at Lac Bay, but very few white sand beaches outside the park.  It's great for snorkeling if your kids are old enough for that.[/quote]
