No way, not at all. Aruba is a separate country but still under the Netherlands.The citizens of Aruba still have Dutch Nationality. There are other 5 islands whih comprise of the NEtherlands Antilles which are Curacao, Bonire. St. Maarten, Saba and St. Estutatias. Coming June/July except Bonaire the other 4 islands will officially be filed for indepaneance and Bonaire will be a part of Netherlands Muncipality.

Yes, the ABC islands (which includes Aruba) are all a part of South America because they lie on the South American geographic plate. And they're also a part of the Caribbean. Trinidad and Tobago fall into this category too.

Technically no.
It is part of the Caribbean, located in the Caribbean Sea.
Theoretically, people will argue it belongs to one or more geographical area, but the fact that it is located off Venezuela is really not that important to what it is a "part of".
And to get even more technically, it is part of the Lesser Antilles, which along with the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas form the West Indies.
It might be more proper to refer to it as an island of the Antilles, or the West Indies.

Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, the AbC islands, are Dutch held islands off the northern coast of Venezuela. Great diving, I've been to each island twice!

Depending on definitions, Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago have territory in one or both of North and South America.
It is more commonly refered to an North America even though it is very close to Venezuela.

It just happens to be a Ferry ride away from South America.
