Fofoti Tree

The iconic Fofoti trees, a treasured emblem of Aruban heritage, stand as a symbol of resilience for the Aruba people

About

The Fofoti tree, an evergreen mangrove unique to the island of Aruba, thrives on solid ground, always basking in the vicinity of salty seas. Known in English as the "Buttonwood," it is characterized by its fruit, a button-like round of rich brown, and its resilient wood, which once graced the structures of boats and was sought after for its healing essence. Sometimes referred to as Aruba’s natural compass, the trees consistently point in the southwest direction. Standing defiant against the relentless coastal gusts, the Fofoti trees are not just a testament to resilience, but also an endearing part of the island's identity. Capture the breathtaking silhouette of the most renowned of these trees at Eagle Beach, a tourist's paradise that showcases the beauty of Aruba at sunset. The distinctive form of this tree, moulded by the ceaseless trade winds, adds a captivating contour to the ocean's edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any questions, here are the answers.

Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.

All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.

For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.

Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!

Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags.

If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
