Transfer from Aruba Airport to Oranjestad

The transfer runs along Route 1, the island's main highway linking Aruba Airport with Oranjestad and the hotel zone. Shortly after leaving the terminal area you pass a sequence of roundabouts, where the road turns onto Watty Vos Boulevard and then Sabana Blanco. The Balashi beer garden and Renaissance Marketplace lie close to the airport corridor.

At Aruba Airport, the driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of your landing terminal, holding a name sign. Weekday traffic is heaviest from 8 to 9 AM and 5 to 6 PM, so plan 15 to 20 minutes plus a buffer at those times. Oranjestad's harbor area near the cruise-ship terminal can be busy on cruise days.

A pre-booked private transfer beats the alternatives on this corridor. The Arubus Line L2 bus reaches the Oranjestad bus terminal in 15 to 20 minutes, but it runs roughly hourly, so a missed bus can mean waiting an hour with luggage. A taxi is another option, with one guide quoting about $26, though that fare should be checked before you travel. A transfer booked in advance gives you a fixed price and a driver tracking your flight.
