Birdwatch at Bubali Bird Sanctuary: among the inhabitants are 80 migratory species including herons, egrets, gulls, cormorants and skimmers.

Windsurf or kitesurf at Arashi Beach: Aruba's constant trade winds offer ideal conditions. The Hi-Winds Amateur World Challenge windsurfing tournament takes place each June.

Snorkel amidst the coral at De Palm Island and spot one of Aruba's vivid parrotfish or dive amongst the wreck of a WWII German freighter or at any of Aruba's other 40 dive sites.

• Get into golf and feel environmental whilst you do so, since Aruba Tierra del Sol's par-71 championship 18-hole course was designed by the Robert Trent Jones II Group, renowned for protecting the natural ecology of sites.

• Go horse riding like the locals: there are riding trips in the Cunucu (countryside) and along the coast.

Buy fresh fish straight from the boat at Oranjestad's daily market in the Paardenbaai (Schooner Harbour).

• Cheer the parades at Aruba's annual colourful Carnival in January.

• Go duty-free shopping along the main drag in Oranjestad's Caya GF Betico Croes, where many malls and unique and designer stores can be found.

• Get an insight into local customs, music and cuisine, as well as a chance to get to know the islanders, at the Bonbini Festival, held every Tuesday 1830-2030 throughout the year in the courtyard of the Historical Museum.
