You can fly over to Curacao or Bonaire, but you'll have to arrange yourself or have a TA do it. There are no tour companies that offer day trips.

Book a flight from Aruba to Curacao or Bonaire on Insel Air or Tiara Air. I would go first thing in the morning and back on the last flight. Have something pre-planned to see/do so you don't waste time. You can book tours or have a rental car and a plan of where to go and what to do.

We spent in a week in Curacao. We did the beach hopping tour and East/West side City tour with Actief and did the Animal Encounter dive at the Sea Aquarium. No dive certification is required, but you have to book early to get a spot.

I bet you're going to have a great time in Aruba!! There's a multitude of things to do in Aruba http://www.zipsetgo.com/aruba-lesser-antilles that will make your stay in there worthwhile and Palm Beach is something to look forward to.

Baby beach has walk out snorkeling which is great. I think the DePalm catamaran snorkel cruise is better than their island day. My friends liked the snorkel cruise. I am mad they did it before we got there! I was personally not crazy about the DePalm Island day.
Rent a jeep for the week. We did and it was fun to explore on our own. I will say it is roughing it and just pull the hair back and know it will always be a wind blown mess!
Read my trip report for restaurants. If you want more info, just ask. I would be happy to expand while it is still fresh in my head.
Palm beach has lots of action. Eagle beach seems quieter. Our friends were at the Divi Divi on Eagle and they liked it, but their teens liked coming over to our hotel because of all the teens and watersports over by us at the Marriott on Palm.

I think you will have a great time. It is a fun relaxing island! Enjoy!

Thanks again!

De Palm offers SNUBA at the wreck of the WW2 German freighter Antilla. It is like SCUBA, but the tank is in a raft with a 30' long hose, instead of on your back, which means you don't have to be certified.

I enjoyed it a lot!
