San Nicolas Red Light District Night Tour — Round Trip Hotel Pickup

The San Nicolas Red Light District night tour runs a round trip from your hotel to the far south of Aruba. Pickup and drop-off are both included.

Where the San Nicolas night tour actually goes

San Nicolas sits about forty minutes from the high-rise hotels. It is nothing like the resort strip.

The town grew up around the oil refinery. As a result it has its own character, and its own history.

It also has Aruba’s street-art murals. They are painted across whole buildings, and they are worth the drive on their own.

Then there is the nightlife strip. The town has been known for it for decades. Charlie’s Bar has stood there since 1941, and the bars around it are the rest of the evening.

Most visitors to Aruba never come down here. In fact, that is most of the point of the trip.

Why you do not drive yourself

There are two reasons, and both are practical.

First, the road back up the island is long. It is unlit for stretches, so it is not the road to learn in a rental car.

Second, this is an evening that involves drinking. Therefore the argument settles itself.

Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off is included. So the car stays where it is.

What it costs

The price is $385 for the group. You pay $192.50 now to reserve the date.

Then the balance is paid in cash on the night. Nothing is charged to you in full up front.

The itinerary, the exact stops and any age policy are set by the operator. Take them from the booking page rather than from this page. Check them before you book if anyone in your group is under 18.

The other half of the island

Two of the best reefs are down here too. Baby Beach is the calm one, and Mangel Halto has the healthiest coral.

For a different evening, book Kukoo Kunuku Bar Hopping. More options sit under party and nightlife, and the Aruba Tourism Authority covers the rest.
