Father’s Day is Sun, Jun 15, 2025! Aruba is calling. With warm weather, laid-back island vibes, and a mix of fun and culture, it’s the perfect place to trade neckties and grill-outs for sunshine and adventure. Aruba Father’s Day celebrations offer more than a beautiful backdrop if you’re planning a family getaway this June. From local festivals and scenic tours to unforgettable meals and outdoor fun, Aruba makes it easy to celebrate the father figures in your life in a way that’s anything but ordinary.
With a spacious Casiola Aruba vacation rental, you can enjoy the comforts of home while staying close to all the action. Here are 7 amazing ways to spend Father’s Day in Aruba, starting with one of the island’s most joyful traditions.
1. Celebrate with the Bon Bini Festival
There’s no better way to feel welcomed to Aruba than at the Bon Bini Festival. Held every Tuesday evening in Fort Zoutman, right in downtown Oranjestad, this vibrant event is all about music, food, and culture.
“Bon Bini” means “welcome” in Papiamento, and that’s exactly what the festival delivers. The evening kicks off with traditional Aruban folk music, followed by colorful dancing and lively storytelling that brings the island’s past to life. Local vendors set up outside, offering everything from handmade crafts to delicious snacks like pastechi (Aruban turnovers) and fresh coconut water straight from the shell. It’s fun for the whole family, and a perfect way to introduce Dad to Aruba’s unique personality right at the start of your trip.
Helpful tip: Doors typically open around 6:30 PM. Arrive early to get good seats and enjoy the pre-show atmosphere. It’s a casual event, so shorts and sandals are welcome.
2. Take a boat tour along Aruba’s coast
Few things say “vacation” quite like setting sail on turquoise waters. Booking a boat tour is one of the best ways to experience the best Aruba Father’s Day. Choose a peaceful sunset cruise with drinks and music, or go for a snorkeling adventure where you can explore shipwrecks and coral reefs.
Popular stops include the Antilla Shipwreck, Boca Catalina, and Mangel Halto. Many tours include open bars, fresh snacks, and guides who are happy to snap photos for your family. It’s the kind of laid-back experience that feels luxurious without being stuffy. Prefer a little more excitement? Speedboat tours, tubing, and fishing charters are all great options for active dads who want to be out on the water in a big way.
3. Enjoy a family beach day at Eagle or Arashi Beach
No Aruba Father’s Day trip is complete without a proper beach day. The island’s coastlines are some of the most stunning in the Caribbean, and two beaches in particular stand out for families.
Eagle Beach is wide, soft, and postcard-perfect. It’s known for calm waters, shaded palapas, and those iconic wind-bent divi-divi trees. Bring a beach blanket, a book, and your favorite snacks, and let the day unfold slowly.
Arashi Beach, further up the coast, is a little quieter and perfect for snorkeling. It has fewer crowds, a more local feel, and beautiful views of the California Lighthouse in the distance. Whether you’re into sunbathing or underwater exploring, this is the place to be.
4. Go off-road and explore Aruba’s wild side
Adventure-loving dads will love seeing Aruba’s wilder side. Book a UTV or Jeep tour to ride across rocky trails, visit hidden beaches, and explore the island’s dramatic landscapes.
Stops often include the Natural Pool, Arikok National Park, and Natural Bridge. These guided tours are safe, exciting, and full of stories about Aruba’s history and geology. Plus, it’s a great way to escape the crowds and see spots that are only accessible with an off-road vehicle. It’s active, engaging, and a great bonding experience, perfect for a family-focused Aruba Father’s Day itinerary.
5. Treat Dad to an island Feast
Good food makes every celebration better, and Aruba Father’s Day is no exception. The island has a rich culinary scene that mixes Caribbean flavors with Dutch, Latin, and international influences.
For a casual, seaside lunch, try Zeerovers in Savaneta. It’s a no-frills spot where locals and visitors line up for fresh seafood that’s caught daily. You’ll order by weight, watch it cook in front of you, and enjoy it right by the water. If you’re looking for something more upscale, Yemanja Woodfired Grill in Oranjestad serves beautifully plated dishes in a warm, garden-style setting. The West Deck offers Caribbean small plates with unbeatable ocean views for sunset dining. Don’t forget to raise a glass to Dad with a local Balashi beer or a classic Aruba Ariba cocktail.
6. Discover Aruba’s culture and history
If your Aruba Father’s Day crew enjoys learning and exploring, take a break from the beach and dive into Aruba’s culture. The island is full of hidden gems and historical stops that help paint a fuller picture of its heritage. Start at the Archaeological Museum of Aruba, which features artifacts from Aruba’s earliest inhabitants. Then head to Fort Zoutman, the oldest building on the island, and the same site where the Bon Bini Festival takes place. Climb to the top of the adjacent tower for a great view of Oranjestad.
You can also tour the Alto Vista Chapel, explore the street art of San Nicolas, or visit the California Lighthouse for panoramic views of the island’s northern tip. Taking time to explore Aruba’s past gives your trip more depth and makes for some great conversation along the way.
7. Try a new water sport together
Aruba Father’s Day is the perfect time to share a new experience together, like learning a water sport as a family. Aruba’s calm, clear waters are ideal for first-timers. You can rent paddle boards or kayaks from most major beaches or try something new like snuba, a combination of snorkeling and scuba diving that doesn’t require certification. It’s great for kids and adults alike, and you’ll get a guided tour of Aruba’s underwater world.
Windsurfing and kiteboarding lessons are also popular, especially on the island’s east side where the breezes are steady. Whether gliding above or swimming beneath the waves, it’s a fun way to connect and create a shared memory.
More ways to make the most of Aruba Father’s Day
Want to take your trip to the next level? Here are a few extra ideas to round out your Aruba Father’s Day experience:
- Pack a surprise gift or card to give Dad at the beach, on the boat, or during dinner
- Book a private photo session with a local photographer to capture the moment
- Schedule some downtime, whether it’s a spa visit, a quiet morning coffee on the balcony, or an afternoon nap
- Plan an activity just for Dad—a golf outing, a fishing trip, or even a solo walk along the beach
- Leave time to relax at your vacation rental. Sometimes, the best memories happen when you enjoy each other’s company in a cozy space.
What to pack for your Aruba Father’s Day getaway
A great trip starts with a smart suitcase. Packing for Aruba Father’s Day is all about keeping things simple, comfortable, and beach-ready. The weather in June is typically sunny, breezy, and warm. Perfect for light layers and plenty of sun protection. Start with breathable clothing like linen shirts, shorts, and sundresses. Pack swimsuits, flip-flops, and a rash guard if you plan on doing water sports. Aruba’s sun is strong, so don’t forget reef-friendly sunscreen, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat.
Bring one or two slightly dressier outfits for family dinners or a night out. Most restaurants are island casual, so you don’t need anything too fancy—just something a step up from your beachwear. If you plan to explore the island, throw in sneakers or hiking sandals for UTV rides or walks through Arikok National Park. A small backpack or tote is helpful for day trips, and a waterproof phone pouch will come in handy if you’re on a boat or snorkeling. And of course, don’t forget something thoughtful for the best Dad ever.
