Some happen at sea.
Some happen around the dinner table.
And some begin with a maraca in one hand and a cocktail in the other.
At Aruba Wine & Dine, we've always believed the best vacations don't end after the beach.
They're just getting started.
For years, we've been bringing people together through exceptional restaurants, unforgettable evenings, and authentic island experiences. Today, that family proudly includes two of Aruba's most iconic brands: Jolly Pirates and Kukoo Kunuku.
For nearly 30 years, Kukoo Kunuku has been responsible for questionable dance moves, spontaneous singalongs, and convincing perfectly sensible adults that one more stop was always a great idea. 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?
Not by changing what everyone already loves.
But by creating two unforgettable new ways to experience Aruba.
Because around here, we've always believed the best memories are made around a table.
Or on a dance floor.
Sometimes both.
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 wine tour, we've uncorked its delicious next chapter.
Island Sips & Night Bites is our newest Aruba food and wine tour, a progressive dinner experience where every stop introduces a new atmosphere, a signature dish, carefully selected wines, premium handcrafted cocktails, creative tequila pairings, and wonderful people.
Your evening begins with sunset and a handcrafted cocktail at KOKOA Restaurant & Beach Bar, where breathtaking Caribbean views and one of Aruba's most spectacular sunsets set the stage for the evening ahead. Next, enjoy dinner at the iconic Que Pasa Restaurant & Wine Bar before continuing to two more Aruba Wine & Dine favorites. From historic downtown Oranjestad to the lively atmosphere of Arawak Garden, every stop brings new flavors, great company, and one more reason to linger just a little longer.
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.
As the sun begins to set, discover the Aruba many visitors never experience on our San Nicolas art, food, and cultural tour. Wander colorful streets filled with world-famous murals, hear the stories behind the art and the people who proudly call San Nicolas home, and enjoy an authentic dinner beneath the stars in one of Aruba's most beautiful hidden tropical gardens.
It's relaxed.
It's personal.
It's deeply local.
It's not just another Aruba tour.
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—especially when some of the island's best things to do in Aruba at night are just getting started.
We've saved you a seat.
