Visiting A FREE Donkey Sanctuary In Aruba! Fun & Unique Excursion At Oranjestad Cruise Port!

Date Filmed: April 22, 2023
Norwegian Joy Day 8
Hey Happy Travelers!
Welcome to the Norwegian Joy, our very first NCL cruise! We are on a 12 night Caribbean sailing visiting Limón Costa Rica, Colon Panama, Cartagena Colombia, Oranjestad Aruba, Williamstead Curaçao, and Great Stirrup Cay (Norwegian’s private island)! This will mark as our longest sailing, so we are very excited to enjoy this new itinerary, as well as have plenty of time to see what NCL is all about!
It is Day 8 onboard the Norwegian Joy, and we are in Oranjestad Aruba! We ventured out on our own off the beaten path to have a unique excursion at the Donkey Sanctuary of Aruba! This is a nonprofit location that operates solely for the purpose of rescuing and taking care of donkeys! This place is doing things right, and we had a blast petting and hugging these cuties all day! If you want to visit the Donkey Sanctuary of Aruba, or want to contribute to their efforts, check out the website below!

    This video was amazing to watch. I'm heading to Aruba on a cruise in less than a week and we had plans to go to the Flamingo beach at the Renaissance hotel, but after watching this video, I'm HIGHLY reconsidering going to the donkey sanctuary instead. I absolutely love animals, and while I'd love to be able to watch flamingos roam the beach, I feel like supporting the donkey sanctuary would be like such a better use of my time and money... thanks for highlighting this place!

    Wow!!!! Thank you guys for doing a video. We were there a few months back, and on our excursion we made a special trip to the sanctuary. It's a great place. Everyone should go and visit and donate.
