Donkey Sanctuary

Donkeys are not native to Aruba, but they’ve been here for over a half-a-century, and were used to get from point A to point B, especially on the island's rockier parts. Today, they’re largely roaming and wild animals, and The Donkey Sanctuary ensures that more than 120 of these animals are protected and cared for when needed. Visitors can come to volunteer or spend time feeding and hugging these adorable furry friends at the sanctuary, which sits near the edge of Arikok National Park where many more donkeys roam in nature.
