Overview

Discover Aruba's flavors on our small-group walking food tours through downtown Oranjestad, with two routes to choose from.

AFTERNOON - SIP & SAVOR (1:00 PM & 2:00 PM): Meet at Bochincha Container Yard on Rockefellerstraat and taste your way through 5-6 stops of Aruban comfort food, Haitian spice, Surinamese flavors, Dutch-Caribbean classics, and Latin and global-fusion bites. Includes 2-3 alcoholic drinks plus bottled water. Ends near Plaza Daniel Leo/Havenstraat.

EVENING - NOCHE DE SABORES (5:30 PM): The same delicious format after dark - 5-6 tasting stops, 2-3 drinks, bottled water, and a passionate local guide - with a smokier, more savory evening vibe. Meeting point: University of Aruba, J. Irausquinplein 4, Oranjestad.

    Experience a fusion of bold Asian flavors and local island ingredients at this stylish distillery. Operated by a local chef known for their creativity, you'll try a rotating menu of Asian-Caribbean small plates—like crispy toasties, spicy crudo bites, or Korean-style chicken—served in the intimate and rustic setting of Bodegas Papiamento.
  4. 10m · Admission ticket included
    Here, you’ll sample a freshly made pastechi and croquette, paired with a tropical batido (fruit smoothie)—a classic local breakfast snack that sets the tone for the day.
  5. 30m
    Time for the heart of the tour—authentic Aruban cuisine. We’ll sit down at a cozy, family-run spot known for traditional dishes like keshi yena (stuffed cheese), funchi, and goat stew. You’ll learn the stories behind these heritage recipes and how they reflect Aruba’s Creole roots.
  6. 30m · Admission ticket included
    A nod to Aruba’s colonial past, this Dutch-inspired stop features European comfort foods with a Caribbean touch. Think cheese platters, kibbeling, or keshi yena tapas paired with a refreshing homemade lemonade or soda. It's the perfect bridge between Aruba’s multicultural influences.
  7. 30m · Admission ticket included
    We’ll end on a high note with drinks at a lively local bar. Enjoy a craft cocktail, local beer, or fresh mojito, and unwind while we recap the tour, share stories, and toast to good food and good company.
