#### Feed, pet and learn more about these adorable creatures at this non-profit sanctuary devoted to their well-being.

The Donkey Sanctuary is a must-visit for families, animal-lovers and anyone with a soft spot for these docile and delightful animals. Get close to donkeys, hear about the circumstances that led to them coming to Aruba and discover more about the sanctuary’s mission.

Donkeys were first brought over to Aruba during the colonial era, when they were quickly put to work transporting people and things around the island. As cars were introduced, the donkeys were no longer necessary and many of them were released into the wild. Unfortunately, they suffered both at the hands of humans and from disease, until this volunteer-run organization was set up in 1997 to help them. Be on the lookout for the remaining stray donkeys as you continue exploring the island’s arid interior today. You may even hear a few braying.

Arrive at the sanctuary early to help look after the donkeys for the day. You’ll find out what and when they are fed as well as gaining insight on what needs to be done to keep them both healthy and happy.

Ask staff about the Aruban donkeys’ plight. The staff is happy to share stories about the island’s donkeys and further explain the purpose of this non-profit operation. Meet some of the sanctuary’s inhabitants, many of whom have been rescued after being mistreated or even knocked over while in the wild. Be sure to give them a pet on the nose. You can even bring along carrots or apples to feed them.

There’s a concession stand in the sanctuary where you can purchase a coffee or refreshment, as well as a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs. If you are eager to help out with the cause, sign up to become a friend of the Aruban donkeys or enlist for the adoption program.

The Donkey Sanctuary is located in Santa Cruz. There is no fee to enter but donations are welcomed. It is open daily and can be reached by taxi or car. Follow the brown and white road signs.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,361 reviews)

Overall it was a nice place to stay for our first Aruba trip. The food and drinks were great. We did not upgrade to the Mega all inclusive package and still found great food to eat each meal. Access to the beach was very convenient and the staff was very friendly. Upon check in, the shampoo, body wash and handsoap were empty in both our bathrooms and the toilet was not working in the main bathroom. After 2 days and 4 phone calls to front desk the soap, bodywash and shampoo was refilled. The toilet was never fixed. There was also not very good water pressure in the shower making it difficult to wash my hair. The grounds were well kept and we always had a cold drink in our hand. Aside from the smaller issues we still had a great time!
