You likely don't need a visa
You don't need a visa to visit Aruba as a tourist. Your nationality is on the list of nationalities that don't need a Caribbean visa for Aruba. You still have to complete Aruba's Online ED Card before you travel (it is not a visa and does not guarantee entry), and the immigration officer at the border makes the final decision on admission. How long you may stay is not stated the same way by every official source: Aruba's ED-card site defines a tourist as someone staying no more than 30 consecutive days, and the Aruba Tourism Authority gives 30 days as the maximum first admission (extensions can be requested, up to 180 days a year), while the Kingdom of the Netherlands' page gives longer maximums (90 days in any 180, and 180 days for Dutch, US and other Schengen nationals). Confirm your permitted stay when you arrive. This is based on the Kingdom of the Netherlands' visa page, which Aruba's government points visitors to.
