One Great Restaurant Was Never Going to Be Enough

Not for us, anyway.

At Aruba Wine & Dine, we've spent years creating evenings people remember long after they leave Aruba.

Great food.

Wonderful company.

And usually one more glass of wine than you originally planned.

Sometimes they end with dessert.

Sometimes they end with dancing.

Sometimes they end with a maraca.

For nearly 30 years, Kukoo Kunuku has been convincing perfectly normal people to dance with strangers, collect souvenir cups they'll probably never use again, and give 110%... for absolutely no reason at all.

Somewhere between the first maraca shake and the last dance move, strangers become friends.

Birthdays become legendary.

And somehow your name ends up riding through Aruba on the side of a bright red bus.

So when Kukoo Kunuku  celebrated its 30th Anniversary...

...we thought, why stop there?

Because turning 30 seemed like the perfect excuse to create two unforgettable new evenings.

Around here, every great evening starts the same way.

"You have to try this!"

First came Island Sips & Night Bites.

Wine and tequila weren't destined to be friends.

So we introduced them anyway.

If you loved our original Aruba wine tour, we've uncorked its delicious next chapter.

Our newest Aruba food and wine tour is a progressive dinner experience featuring four unforgettable Aruba Wine & Dine destinations. Begin with handcrafted cocktails and breathtaking sunset views at KOKOA Restaurant & Beach Bar, enjoy oceanfront dining at Surfside Beach Bar, indulge in exceptional cuisine and wine at the iconic Que Pasa Restaurant & Wine Bar, and finish the evening at Mambo Jambo at Arawak Garden, where live music, handcrafted cocktails, and a lively atmosphere make it awfully tempting to stay for just one more.

Bring your appetite.

We'll take care of the rest.

Because one great restaurant was never going to be enough.

Then we created something completely different.

Meet Taste of San Nicolas.

Our newest San Nicolas tour is unlike anything else in Aruba. Part Aruba mural tour, part Aruba cultural tour, and part Aruba food tour, it invites you to discover the island's colorful artistic soul after dark.

Explore San Nicolas, Aruba, affectionately known as Sunrise City, where more than 90 spectacular murals have transformed the streets into one of the Caribbean's most remarkable open-air art galleries. Discover the fascinating history of Aruba's former refinery town, browse local galleries, hear the stories behind the artwork, meet the people who proudly call this vibrant community home, and enjoy an authentic dinner beneath the stars in one of Aruba's most beautiful hidden tropical gardens.

From colorful street art and historic landmarks to local restaurants, galleries, and hidden courtyards, this is the authentic Aruba most visitors never discover.

Whether you're looking for hidden gems in Aruba, an unforgettable evening tour, authentic local food, vibrant street art, or the best things to do in San Nicolas, this is the experience you've been searching for.

It's relaxed.

It's personal.

It's delicious.

It's deeply local.

It's not just another Aruba sightseeing tour.

It's the Aruba most visitors never discover.

It's an evening you'll be talking about long after your vacation ends.

Because you didn't come to Aruba to go to bed early.

We've saved you a seat.
