The morning begins with meaningful service as we visit the Aruba Donkey Sanctuary, where they support the care of rescued animals while you experience the heart of this local nonprofit. From there, you’ll have the option to contribute to Ban Lanta y Planta with hands-on work in sustainable gardening, or to deliver donations to Stichting Ambiente Feliz, a residential facility serving adults with intellectual disabilities. After a morning of giving back, the afternoon shifts to relaxation and exploration at Baby Beach, one of Aruba’s most picturesque spots for snorkeling and swimming, with local restaurants nearby for a casual lunch. The day closes with a breathtaking sunset sail, complete with a three-course dinner on the water (tips not included). As the stars come out, we’ll gather for a group reflection, considering “What I’m leaving behind, and what I’m carrying forward,” grounding the journey in both purpose and renewal.

Get ready for adrenaline and discovery with a thrilling 4-hour UTV tour, exploring Aruba’s rugged desert terrain, hidden coves, and dramatic coastline. After working up an appetite, the group will stop for a casual local lunch (self-pay) before heading to the Aloe Factory for a guided tour and shopping experience highlighting one of Aruba’s most famous exports. In the afternoon, unwind at the villa with free time to swim, sun, or simply recharge. As evening falls, gather back at the villa for a laid-back pizza dinner and time to connect as a group.

Set sail on a luxury catamaran with AWA Charters for an unforgettable day on the water. This experience includes multiple snorkeling stops at Aruba’s most beautiful reefs and shipwrecks, plus a freshly prepared lunch served on board. Optional massages will also be available on-site (self-pay), offering the perfect way to relax after an adventurous morning. Then, we'll enjoy a relaxed evening at the villa with a group dinner. 

The final day begins with a peaceful morning yoga session at the villa led by a local instructor, setting the tone with grounding energy and intention. At 10 AM, the group heads to De Palm Island for a day of fun and relaxation, where you can snorkel among tropical fish, hang out with the resident flamingoes, enjoy unlimited food and drinks, and take advantage of the island’s activities from waterslides to beach hammocks. After returning to the villa to refresh, we’ll gather for a special farewell dinner at a local restaurant (self-pay), celebrating the week’s adventures and shared impact. The evening closes with a heartfelt gratitude circle, offering space to reflect on the journey and carry its meaning forward.

On our final morning in Aruba, we’ll share one last meal together over a relaxed group brunch before packing up for departure. For those who’d like a final keepsake, we’ll stop for an optional group photo at the iconic “I ❤️ Aruba” sign, a perfect way to capture the spirit of the week. Group transportation will then bring everyone to Queen Beatrix International Airport for departure, carrying home not only memories of the island’s beauty but also the impact and connections made throughout the journey.
