    Jolly Pirates departs from the MooMba Beach area, located between the Holiday Inn and Marriott Resorts in Palm Beach.

Follow the shoreline until you see the Skull and Crossbones Pirate Shop next to MooMba Bar, where you can check in for the cruise.

    If you are coming from other parts of Noord or Oranjestad, the Arubus is a reliable and affordable option. Take the bus to the Palm Beach area and get off at a stop near the high-rise hotels. From there, walk towards the beach and follow the signs to MooMba Beach, located between the Holiday Inn and Marriott. A single bus fare is approximately $2.60, or you can purchase a day pass for $10.

  • Taxi/Ride-Share

    Taxis are readily available throughout Aruba and offer a direct way to reach MooMba Beach. Most taxi drivers know the location, but it's helpful to mention it's near the Holiday Inn and Marriott on Palm Beach. Taxi fares are fixed and not metered; confirm the price with the driver before starting your ride. A short taxi ride from the high-rise hotel area should cost around $10-$15.
