We stopped by on the Jeep tour. Our host was one of the volunteers. Very enjoyable diversion to the beach and shouldnt be missed. But agree that getting there by anything other than a 4x4 would be 'interesting'. Not a ton of things to do other than feed and pet the donkeys. Dont forget to buy something or leave a donation.

If you are ever fortunate enough to visit the beautiful island of Aruba, you MUST make a stop at the Donkey Sanctuary. If you were never a donkey fan before, you will be after just one visit. The donkeys love people and it's so much fun to have them all "so happy to see you". Desiree who heads up the organization is one of the kindest, nicest people you will ever meet. The people of Aruba are wonderful. The same kindness and friendliness that you see in people on the island carrys over at the the Donkey Sanctuary. I loved it and have been to Aruba twice. Seeing the donkeys is ALWAYS going to be a part of my Aruba visits. You will LOVE it! It's easy to get to, it's a beautiful scenic ride from the resort areas in Aruba to the Donkey Sanctuary. It's very easy to find. Be sure to check the hours that they are open. It's clearly posted on the entrance sign. Go early and before 3 p.m. Have fun!!!! And give Palapo a kiss from me!

Nothing much to it....you can pay $1 USD to buy some kibble to feed the donkeys. The owner is really nice, as the sanctuary operates on donations alone, her personality fit the bill. There are a few trinkets to buy, but I wouldn't stay more than 20 minutes here.

very impressive -- and a great charity == thanks for a great visit
