What a hooting time Carlos our driver was amazing made our Aruba trip memorable
So for the rest of the review, I’m going to refer to the Kukoo Kunuku as the PooPoo Kunuku. This is what several of us on the bus started to call it. This service is touted as a party bus that will take you around town and show you a good time. A few of us decided to take the dinner excursion while we were in Aruba for the evening. First, the booking process is terrible. The company got our reservations wrong multiple times. We originally booked it for one night and everything was fine. Then, they let us know that the night had to be changed due to a large party filling them up??? Who does this? So we were able to move some things around and got a different night. Two days before the tour they tried to get us to change again! People need to be aware that this could change your plans if they do this!!! On our bus, the average age was about 55. This tour appears to be designed for more mature adults. This is fine because they know how to party just fine!
They picked us up at our hotel around 6:00. The driver was very cool. I don’t remember his name, but he did an awesome job with the driving and the music. He gets a star! Then there is Mamma. She is a ball of energy and very entertaining! She gets a star. That’s where the stars end. They take you all the way up to the north end of the island for a toast, then bus you about a half hour or so deep into the middle of the island for one of the worst dinners you will ever have to try and stomach. I don’t think they want you to eat much so you get drunk easier. They try to get you to buy this squeeze bottle that “costs less” to fill up at the bars. Here’s the thing. Most of the people were complaining about how watered down the drinks were. They will take you to at least three of the most terrible bars I have ever seen. Severely watered down drinks. I must have had 10 drinks that night and I did not even get a buzz. I suspect that they either own or have a deal going with the bars where they get some kick back.
Overall, this is a terrible waste of money. I apologize to our driver and to Momma for the poor rating, but this has a lot of improving to do.
It's been a few years since my experience but I always recommend it to anyone I know who travels to Aruba. Be prepared to spend 6-7 hours at this event. Be on time because they will leave you behind. First they will start your night off with a champagne toast on the beach is a nice touch. Dinner is decent. The free temporary tattoos make it fun with the different colorful designs. The drinks at the bars weren't that good. The first drink at each of the 3 bars are free. I recommend getting the souvnier cup because after the first drink, with the souvnier, each drink is half off. The people on the bus make it fun. Mama is a GREAT host. It's all about having fun, and having memories for years to come.
The bus is fun but the bars are garbage. The bar tenders make up prices, the "sippy cup" is a joke. Don't get it. We're at our second stop as we speak. Not what we expected. Fun but not worth it.
Fantastic tour! Not to be missed! Very fun, lots of great beach time!
3 min late and bus left. No number to call the driver and no one picking up the desk phone. I will be asking for a full refund. This is not how you run a business
We had a great time on the bus. Every one was laughing, singing and shacking there maracas. If I ever visit Aruba again, I will definitely take the bus again. Hopefully to the bar next time.
Had an awesome time on this party bus with my husband and 3 adult kids. (Ages 20-25). Food, dancing, drinking and laughs!
This is a Great trip! It is a night you must do in Aruba. Mama & Joe were the best! Thank you for making my husbands night special with the sign on the bus & the toast on the Beach for his Retirement. Your the best. We will definitely be back to see you on our next trip to Aruba. Thank you for a Great night. Eileen & Bobby. NJ
Great times! Seriously, don't miss this one.
This is a must on your to do list while in Aruba! My husband and I had so much fun on our honeymoon on this bus. It definitely was one of the highlights of our trip! Mama was so fun and sweet, our bus driver Carlos was hilarious and fun and the dinner and drinks were great!!! It's so worth it if you want a night out on the town!!!
SO much fun! This is a must do activity in Aruba. The toast at the beginning of the trip was so special at this beautiful beach. Dinner was delicious! We had a blast at the bus and all the clubs, the entertainers were awesome too! Can't wait to go back to the island and do it again.
Me and my girlfriend had the best time on this party bus. We got picked up and after gathering the other party goers our first stop was a champagne toast on the island with a great view. Next up we had an awesome ride partying through the town on the way to diner which was awesome. Dinner under the stars! Food and drinks were great. We also got some awesome temporary tattoos before eating and they were complimentary. Wow! We were sure to tip. After dinner we bar hopped to several bars each where we received complimentary drinks and cash bars as well. Music was great. Our host "Mama" was very entertaining. This was my second time to Aruba and my second time on the kukoo kanuku. Awesome value and awesome time.
I've been to Aruba 4 times and every time I go there as soon as I check in at my resort I make sure I book my event to attend the Kukoo Kunuku Event. It never fails me I always have a wonderful time from the beginning to the End. I simply love it!!
