Aruba in Sept - day trip to Curacao?
 
Celebrating 20th anniversary Sept. I have been to Aruba-DH's 1st trip - is it worth considering a day trip to Curacao or Bonaire - any info appreciated - we are staying in the Westin (points) - we are excited!

You can fly Insel Air to Curacao or Bonaire. It's about a 30 minute flight in a small puddle jumper.

If you choose to do this especially for just a day trip, I would recommend you have something planned for when you get there and not just wing it. Curacao is very spread out. You'll need a rental car or take a tour to get around. I wouldn't want to waste precious time trying to secure a car or something to see/do once I got there.

We used this tour operator in Curacao:

We did the East and West full day island tour and the beach hopping tour. We also went to the Aquarium and did the Animal Encounter dive. No certification is needed.

You don't say how long you are spending in Aruba. If it is a week or less, it seems a shame to tie up that mush time of the Island. You can find pleanty to do for that long on Aruba.
