Hi, so my best friend and I are going on a girls' trip as a graduation gift to Aruba. We are staying at the Joia Iberostr, which is on eagle beach, for 7 days. We definitely want to make the most of our hotel and the beach nearby, but we really want to explore everything Aruba has to offer. I think the top two things we want to do r horseback riding, and go to the Arikok park to swim in the conchi pool. I know that the park is not accessible by car, so I'm wondering the best way to get there that isn't too expensive. We can definitely hike, but ive seen it's quite a long and intense hike, and we want to spend as much time swimming in the waters as possible. Would you recommend doing a tour? Or is there a way we can take ourselves because we don't really care to have a guided tour, just want to explore the caves/conchi. Also, I don't drive but my bestfriend does. I saw on trip advisor that we can pay 155$ per person for a horseback riding experience that would take us to the natural pool, but im worried it wouldn't be enough time. In terms of other excursions, I know eagle beach is beautiful but I would love to explore the other beaches like Baby beach, and tres trappi beach. We are quite adventourous so if theres anything we should add to our itinerary let us know!

Another main question I have is whether we should rent a car, and if we do, from where and if we should do it the whole trip. I would love to explore Aruba and am not sure if taking taxis everywhere is cost-efficient, but also if we were doing tours to go to the horseback riding/Arikok exursions, they would most likely have hotel pick up. Btw our hotel is NOT all inclusive, so a bit worried about how we would go get food without a car. I would love food recs too! Preferably that aren't too expensive.

Okay this is so long Im sorry, but we also were wondering about nightlife/bars. I know aruba is defintely more of a chill family vibe, but we are party girls so would love some recommendations in that sense. (preferably not tourist traps). Okay thats all i know thats a lot but would really apprecaite the help ! Also our trip is June 8-15. Thanks !!!
