Tour Options
Itinerary
Walk among towering boulders shaped by time and nature. Climb to scenic viewpoints and admire ancient Arawak petroglyphs carved into the rocks.
Wander through two illuminated chambers filled with shafts of sunlight, natural formations, and local legends—this cave is as mysterious as it is beautiful.
Take in the dramatic contrast of Aruba’s wind-carved white sand dunes against the deep blue of the Caribbean Sea—a stunning photo stop and a glimpse into the island’s raw natural beauty.
Step into the mystical Fontein Cave, where centuries-old Arawak drawings line the limestone ceilings. Just outside, dip your feet into a natural spring for a playful fish pedicure—where tiny fish gently exfoliate your feet in a unique and refreshing experience.
Drive past Aruba’s renewable energy hub where towering wind turbines spin along the southeastern coast—a powerful symbol of the island’s commitment to sustainability.
Arrive at Aruba’s iconic Natural Pool, nestled between volcanic rock. Cool off with a swim or snorkel (weather permitting), as waves crash around this hidden coastal gem.

Excellent customer service. JP Friday was funny and made the experience great, especially with the drive!
A great guide can make all the difference! We're so pleased JP helped make your day such an enjoyable one. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Until the next adventure! The Pelican Adventures Team
Our guide, JP, was awesome. Tour was great!!!
JP will be super happy to read you! We're thrilled you had such a great time exploring Aruba with him, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words. Hope to see you again for another island adventure! The Pelican Adventures Team
Been on several jeep tours in Aruba over the years with various companies. This was the first time where after pickup that we didn't have to go to a central office to complete paperwork and then start the tour. The tour started right after pickup! Aside from that, our driver Marcel, was very entertaining and informative. He was right there with us at each stop, explaining the highlights and history. He took lots of pictures for us. Overall the tour was great... even for those who have been there and done that.
We're so glad your day with Marcel stood out, from his stories about the island to the little details that made the experience so enjoyable! Thank you for choosing to explore Aruba with us, we hope to see you again on a future adventure. Warm regards, The Pelican Adventures Team
Great! Highly recommended! Fantastic guide Marcel! I joined the Jeep tour to the Natural Pool & Caves Off-Road Safari and our guide Marcel was really the best! We have seen the beautiful rock formations at Ayo, visited impressive caves and of course the Natural Pool. Marcel took beautiful pictures and made sure we laughed a lot! Even the drive to the Natural Pool was an experience. As Marcel himself said: "bumby bumby, shakey shakey" bumpy and jerky, but really fun! Along the way we got cold water and delicious granola bars, which made me feel really well cared for. I will recommend to bring your own snack if you have a peanut allergy or if you get hungry quickly;) Although the Natural Pool was closed that day, Marcel took us to Baby Beach so we could still swim. He even brought snorkels for those who felt like a snorkeling adventure. *there were also Dixie’s available at the locations Marcel was incredibly friendly, attentive and always had an eye for our safety. On the way back we also got a little tour through Aruba, which allowed us to see even more of the island than expected. I went home with beautiful pictures, lots of great memories and a big smile. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you are lucky enough to get Marcel as a guide too! *Oh yes a tip, if you sit in front you will not suffer from the bumps! And don't wear a hat during the jeep ride, because yes it flies off (living witnesses here haha)
Reviews like yours truly make our day! Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed experience. We're delighted Marcel made your tour so enjoyable with his knowledge, great sense of humor, and dedication to making sure everyone had a wonderful day. While the Natural Pool was closed for safety reasons, we're so glad you enjoyed the alternative stop at Baby Beach. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Aruba! The Pelican Adventures Team
The guide followed through and resolved the situations that arose
¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia! Esperamos tener la oportunidad de recibirte nuevamente en una próxima aventura por Aruba. El Equipo de Pelican Adventures
The long dusty, rough road out to the Natural pool did NOT have to happen if communication was properly conceived. Because the pool was closed the group could only look at it. I’m sure someone knew of the high water closure BEFORe the 20 minutes of getting tossed about on the dirt track. Will not use Viator again
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your Jeep Safari Tour. We'd like to clarify that the decision to allow swimming at the Natural Pool is not made by our team in advance. Access is determined by the Arikok National Park rangers based on the sea conditions at that specific moment, and our guides are only informed once they arrive at the park or the Natural Pool area. Because our guests' safety is always our highest priority, we fully respect and follow the park rangers' guidance. Even when conditions don't allow for swimming, we still visit the Natural Pool so our guests can experience this unique natural landmark, and we include an alternative stop where everyone can safely enjoy the water. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your adventure discovering Aruba. Warm regards, The Pelican Adventures Team

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you had such an excellent experience with us. Taking the time to make every guest feel welcome and cared for is something we truly value, and we're so happy David made that shine throughout your adventure. Thank you for exploring Aruba with us! The Pelican Adventures Team
Amazing trip and Victor was a terrific guide with a ton of knowledge. The Natural Pool however was closed to jumping and swimming due to bad currents and strong winds. Just a part of Aruba but still disappointing. The caves were amazing and Victor took some great pics of us.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so happy you enjoyed exploring Aruba with Victor and that he helped create some wonderful memories along the way. While we understand it was disappointing not to be able to swim at the Natural Pool, guest safety will always be our top priority whenever sea conditions aren't suitable. Whenever that happens, we make sure to include an alternative stop so everyone can continue enjoying the adventure. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable day in Aruba! The Pelican Adventures Team
JP Morgan was an awesome guide! Great experience overall. The caves were amazing and we stopped at Baby Beach to swim before we finished due to the Natural Pool being closed.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It was a pleasure being part of your Aruba adventure. We're delighted JP helped make the day both fun and memorable, we'll be sure to pass your compliments along to him. Thank you for discovering Aruba with us, we hope to see you again soon!
