INTERACTIVE ANIMAL TOUR IN ARUBA - Used this tour group for airport transfers (smoothly done) and also for a Fauna tour. Totally happy with both. Airport transfers were on time and friendly; driving good. (Note: remember to read the info you receive after booking on line and follow the steps.) Our driver for the Fauna Tour was actually the same person who ended up taking us to the airport at the end of the week. He let us know where we were headed and for how long. The tour transport was an old school bus with windows removed – the fresh air was good but you definitely need that breeze on Aruba. We felt his driving was totally fine. This was not exceptionally island informative – but then again, it was a Fauna Tour not an Island Tour.

Great experience - They picked us up at the Renaissance in an air-conditioned bus. Took us to the 3 stated locations, they were all good. We had some great pictures of the animals. The ostriches and emus really well taken care of. I was nervous getting so close but it was fine. The tour guide at the ostrich farm was very knowledgeable.

Don’t miss the animals! They don’t disappoint! - Everything about the El Tours Flora and Fauna tour was great! The animal experiences were amazing! I’ve gone to the Donkey Sanctuary in the past however I’ve always wanted to visit the other parts of this tour. It did not disappoint! I loved that at Philips they gave everyone food for the animals. Don’t miss the little monkeys in the back that will grab them from your hands with theirs!

Must do for animals lovers! - As an animal lover, this tour was top of my list for our trip to aruba and it did not disappoint. Got to visit the donkey farm that had so many beautiful donkeys along with an assortment of other beautiful animals. Afterwards, got to visit the ostrich farm with a very informative tour with the best tour guide. Ended the tour at Philips where it was like a little feeding zoo. Enjoyed that so much. Got up close an personal with many animals!

The cost was more than reasonable, great experience, fun for all ages - Donkeys were cute and friendly, peacocks pretty and the cats were cute as well. Ostrich’s were large and you could feed them for a photo op. Animal farm was strange with so many goats and turtles , little monkeys were so careful when i offered them some of the food we were given at the entrance. Tiny little hands. The miniature horses were kind of in a small area that should have been larger for exercising. The camel didn’t spit as he saw food was coming. Our driver was great with lots of information and we had more than enough time especially since it was so hot we were given as much water as needed. Took about 5 hours.

Animal farms. - Nice places to see. Got to see big variety animals. Donkey and ostrich farms very nice people and animals well taken care of. Phillip’s farm no staff to explain anything, some animals very isolated, no opportunity to socialize(Monkeys especially. A hour way too long to spend there. Most of us were ready after 39 minutes. Nice driver but kept music on loud and almost no discussion of where we were or island history. But I would still recommend it.

Bus was not air conditioned as advertised - The driver was great and the sights were nice but the listing was for an air conditioned vehicle and we were picked up in an open air bus that broke down briefly. I specifically searched out a tour with a/c so this was disappointing.
