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. A taxi from Oranjestad to the Aruba Ostrich Farm will cost approximately $15 and take around 12 minutes. Remember that fares may be higher on Sundays, holidays, and after midnight.

  • 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.

  • Public Transport

    While the Arubus public bus system doesn't go directly to the Ostrich Farm, you can take a bus to Santa Cruz and then take a taxi for the remainder of the trip. Alternatively, you can take the Arubus from Oranjestad to Paradera for $3, but it only runs four times a day. From Paradera, you will need to walk or take a taxi to the farm.
