The trip is worth it though especially during the actual diving into the pools tranquil waters. This is perfect for adventurers looking for a more off the beaten path feel to this commercially famous island.

Engaging in a passion for flight at the Bubali Bird Sanctuary in Aruba
Because of the vast waters in this island, its no wonder that many migratory birds looking for a place to live, at least for the summer months, head this way. Arubas Bubali Bird Sanctuary found on the Southern coast of Oranjestad is one of the primary reasons why theres such an improved system in catering to these birds as of late. From Arubas water treatment facility, the recycled water is collected into the two manmade lakes which make up the large and small pond in Bubali. There are many bird species that find their way here such as coots, skimmers, egrets, gulls and cormorants plus a good other 80 bird species. Theres an observation tower where one can get a closer look at these birds and their habits found at a convenient part of the wetland where there are always common bird species like herons, teals, pintails and cormorants. On a dirt path on the west access road, theres also another good bird watching spot where less common species like Scrub Flycatchers, mockingbirds, Emeralds and Warblers can be spotted.
