Awesome excursion for families and animal lovers. - I booked this excursion for my wife and daughter who both love animals. We are a party of 4 with my oldest son being wheelchair bound. He has his own stroller wheelchair (Convaid) which the guide would pick up and place in the back of the school bus. This tour uses an old school bus to take you to each attraction. Luckily my son weighs only 45 lbs and I was able to carry him up the curving stairs inside the bus. I only give this info as it’s hard to find a tour for the disabled. Now the excursion was awesome. Each attraction better than the last. We started with the donkey sanctuary. The donkeys will surround you trying to get some food but they are so gentle. Just try to spread the food out to as many donkeys as you can. The next stop was a guided tour of the ostrich sanctuary. This very informative and fun. The guide was interesting and animated. Plenty of time to feed the ostriches and emus. There is a picture taking opportunity feeding two ostriches. The last stop was Phillips animal park. Here they had a wide variety of animals to feed and touch. Remember to try and spread out the food to as many animals as possible. We almost ran out food feeding the cute goats and rams in the first few pens. All the animals are very gentle when taking the food from your palm. If you like animals and want a nice family experience that is not rushed and at your own pace. This is a great excursion to go on. Not really handicap accessible unless able to climb the five steps inside the school bus.

Animal sanctuaries are very enjoyable - Driver/tour guide was very informative, but didn't keep talking. Appreciated the ability to enjoy the natural scenery of the island without a lot of talking.

Great Animal Experience - Guide was super chill. The Bus with no Windows is a fun ride. Donkey and Ostrich Sanctuarys are worth a visit. Philipps Animal garden is cool, the time spent there could be shortened though.

Dan the Man - I did not expect the amount of animals to see at the Philips animal sanctuary. Burping monkey. Cute goats. A million peacocks. Turtles, horses, etc. Danny the tour guide was the man.

Fun with animals - First impressions are lasting impressions, so right when I met Danny the bus driver, I knew it was going to be a great day! He had that charming Aruban hospitality throughout the tour. I loved the stops to the donkey sanctuary and the ostrich farm. The guided tour at the Ostruch farm was so informative and allowed for hands on experiences with the animals. If you love animals, this trip is a must.

Animal half day adventure - They pick us up at our hotel and drop us off. It’s is an open window smaller size bus. We went to the Donkey Sanctuary. This is a self tour. Then to the Ostrich Farm. This was a guided tour. Last stop was Phillips Animal and this was a self tour. It was a good day. They do supply water at each stop if needed.

Great excursion for animal lovers - This tour was alot of fun. Our guide was very nice and gave us lots of information about the island and its history. The Ostrich farm was beautiful and it was fun feeding them !! My only complaint would be that an air conditioned vehicle was advertised and we were picked up in a school bus with no windows. Otherwise I recommend this tour!
