The Experience

“You ever had fish nibble your toes?” That’s what our guide, Daniel, asked just as we stepped out of the Jeep by Fontein Cave. I was still brushing off the dust from Arikok’s trails when he pointed at this little pond where tiny fish darted around. I hesitated (I mean—fish pedicure in Aruba?), but dipped my feet anyway. It tickled more than I expected and made me laugh out loud, which got a few grins from the others. The air smelled faintly of limestone and something sweet—maybe wildflowers? Not sure. But it felt like one of those odd little travel moments you remember for no reason.

The ride across the north shore was bumpier than I thought—like being inside a paint shaker—but seeing Quadirikiri Cave lit up by sunlight pouring through the ceiling was worth every jolt. Daniel told us about the Arawak drawings on the walls; he said his grandmother used to bring him here as a kid. There was something hushed about it inside, almost like being underwater. Later at Boca Prins, wind whipped sand against my legs and I squinted into that endless blue. We stopped at the Red Anchor near Boca Grandi too—everyone took photos but I liked just standing there watching kitesurfers trying to outdo each other.

I didn’t expect to like San Nicolas so much. The murals are everywhere—giant faces, animals, colors you don’t see anywhere else on the island. One artist waved at us from a ladder while touching up a parrot’s wing; she smiled when I tried to say “bon bini” (I probably butchered it). Then finally Baby Beach—the water is so clear you can count your toes underwater and there were kids learning to snorkel right next to us. We swam until our fingers wrinkled and then just lay on the sand eating our snack (local pastry with guava jam). I still think about that view sometimes, how quiet it felt even with everyone around.
