Aruba's late-summer and fall months are the least favorable for visits. Hurricanes and tropical storms can rain out most outdoor activities. However, Aruba's notorious trade winds die down in late summer, so you can enjoy a more relaxed time to explore the island without getting carried away by the breeze. Tourists visiting Aruba in this period will catch great deals on accommodations (perfect for extended stays) and can enjoy a multitude of cultural events.
