During our recent trip to the Divi and Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives, we rented a car and took a drive to the Donkey Sanctuary—and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences on the island.
The Donkey Sanctuary Aruba is a non-profit, volunteer-run rescue founded in 1997 to protect Aruba’s donkeys from abandonment and road dangers. The volunteers are incredibly dedicated, focusing on caring for donkeys that are neglected, sick, or injured, while also preserving an important part of the island’s heritage.
Today, the sanctuary provides food, medical care, shelter, and a safe home for more than 130 donkeys who were once left to fend for themselves around the island.
If you’re looking for something meaningful, fun, and a little different from the beach, this is absolutely worth the drive.
