Get to know the native creatures that inhabit Aruba as you visit a trio of animal habitats that host the local wildlife. With stops at the Ostrich Farm, the Donkey Sanctuary, and Philip's Animal Sanctuary, you can get some time up close with the island's friendly fauna.

After you meet your guide, set out for your first stop at the Aruba Ostrich Farm, home to 80 of the largest birds in the world today. A tour of the farm shows off the ostriches and emus as you learn a bit about their natural behavior and get your chance for an up-close encounter with the birds.

Next, pay a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary, a nonprofit dedicated to saving Aruba's donkey population. While not originally native to the island, donkeys have been a part of life on Aruba for 500 years, and you can learn about their history as you meet some of the few wild creatures that remain.

Your last stop is at Philip's Animal Garden, a shelter and rehabilitation center with a range of interactive and educational tours that give you personal experience with exotic animals from around the world. You can see, touch, and feed some representatives from more than 50 different species before you depart for the return trip that brings your tour to an end.
