Aruba Ostrich Farm: An Unexpected Adventure

The Aruba Ostrich Farm offers a surprising and delightful experience on the Caribbean island, providing a home to over 80 ostriches and emus. Contrary to the typical beachside attractions, this farm allows visitors to get up close and personal with these unique birds. During the guided tour, which is offered every hour, knowledgeable guides share insights into the natural behavior, survival instincts, and unique characteristics of ostriches and emus. Visitors have the opportunity to learn about their mating rituals, feeding habits, and defense mechanisms. A highlight of the tour is the chance to hand-feed these not-so-shy creatures, creating unforgettable memories. The tour also includes a visit to the incubator and hatchery, where guests can witness the miracle of new life as baby ostriches hatch. Beyond the ostriches and emus, the farm is also home to other animals, including ducks, geese, silk chickens, peacocks and land turtles. Before or after the tour, guests can browse the Art Shop, offering a collection of local art and crafts. Visitors can relax at the Savanna Lodge Bar & Restaurant, enjoying home-cooked meals and refreshing drinks while taking in panoramic views of the island's northern coast.
