Aruba Aloe Factory
Aruba Aloe
An aloe growing and processing company founded in 1890, offering free tours of its aloe fields, production lines and a small museum.
Aloe was once Aruba's most important export, accounting for a large share of global production in the late 19th century. The factory in Hato offers free tours of about 20 minutes, covering the aloe fields, the production line from cutting to bottling, and a small history museum. At the end, visitors can try after-sun repair gel and other products in the shop, which are popular souvenirs. The factory is about a 10-minute drive from Oranjestad and may be closed on Sundays.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:30–16:00 (may be closed on Sundays)
