Discover more about Aruba Ostrich Farm
The Aruba Ostrich Farm, located in Paradera, offers a surprising and engaging experience for visitors to the island. While ostriches are not native to Aruba, they have found a comfortable home in its rugged landscape. The farm is home to approximately 80 ostriches and emus, inviting guests to get up close with some of the largest birds on Earth.
Visitors can take a guided tour to learn about the natural behavior and survival instincts of these amazing creatures. Knowledgeable guides share insights into the ostrich's amazing speed, defense mechanisms, mating rituals, and feeding habits. The tour also includes a visit to the incubator and hatchery, where guests can witness the early stages of ostrich and emu life. One of the highlights is the opportunity to hand-feed these curious birds.
Beyond the ostriches, the farm features other animals and attractions. Guests can also relax in the shade of the Savanna Lodge Bar & Restaurant, enjoying panoramic views of the island's northern coast. The Art Shop offers a collection of local art and crafts, providing unique souvenirs.

Getting There
Taxi
Taxis are readily available from most locations in Aruba. It's best to call for a taxi rather than hailing one on the street.

Car
If driving from Oranjestad, take Route 4 east towards Paradera. The Ostrich Farm is located on Matividiri 57, along the road to the Natural Bridge, just before Bushiribana. Free parking is available. Be aware that the road to the Natural Bridge can be somewhat rugged.
