Nice short tour of the Aloe factory. Very informative and cool air conditioning inside.

Very small factory. The guide greeted us with a demonstration of cutting open a piece of aloe and then led us through a small "museum" area and up a flight of stairs to view the processing area where no photos were permitted. out of four areas, only one had any activity. Three women were working. One filling blue bottles, one putting on the caps and one applying labels. We were then brought downstairs into the gift shop. The samples on display seemed high quality, but the prices were extremely high. This was a disappointing stop. Unfortunately, our bus developed some mechanical problems, so we were sitting on the bus waiting for a fix for about 40 minutes.

Great Day. Perfect Weather. We will go back one day..God willing. Aloe factory sort of boring. Greatest guide ever though. She was a hard worker.

It was fun visiting the Butterfly Farm and the Aloe factory. Since we arrived on a Sunday, there were a lot of places closed to tourists.

This was the weakest stop on the excursion. They gave us a talk about aloe outdoors. Upon entering the factory they lead you upstairs to a viewing area where you see some machines and guys working. The best part is shopping for aloe products in the store.

Took a tour of the island from tour company right at the end of the pier. We took an air conditioned bus and were glad we did as they cram you in these buses. The island of Aruba is desert like with cactus everywhere.Like Curacao, Aruba is clean and prosperous with huge resorts and hotels along its shoreline and beautiful beaches. The Aloe Balm Facility tour was very informative thou the plant itself is very small. When we took the tour there wasn't anything going on in the plant and we only saw 2 workers inside. After the tour you have the opportunity to purchase various aloe products at very steep prices. The tour really takes less then 30 Min's. The tour of the island however that we took was $20.00 per person and lasted over 3 hrs and included the Aloe factory.

Interesting tour.

The staff rushed the tour and took us through the factory and into the store -- we were told that there were videos in the downstairs and if there was no production, it probably would have been more interesting to see the videos.
