Donkeys have been a part of the island’s culture for 500 years and are extremely affectionate creatures with a gentle nature, making them perfect companions for those seeking a stress-relieving activity. Visit the sanctuary for a private 30+ minute hugging and petting session with their friendliest, loving donkeys.

Encounter about one hundred of Aruba's donkeys that have found a safe, new home at Bringamosa. The distinctive call of the donkey rings out in a welcome salute as visitors approach Aruba's Donkey Sanctuary.

The Bringamosa-based sanctuary welcomes guests, offering information and tours of the grounds. Guests can enjoy a cozy visitor center, a cold drink on the covered porch or buy original donkey-themed gifts and souvenirs in the gift shop. This activity is free to visit but appreciates donations a lot.
