Arikok National Park provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about Aruba's geology, culture, and history. Covering up to 20% of the island's total area, this national park boasts numerous stunning trails for visitors to explore and enjoy.
Nestled within a one-of-a-kind rock formation, a small depression is encircled by volcanic stone to create a serene pool: the Natural Pool of Aruba. This picturesque location is also referred to as 'Conchi' or 'Cura di Tortuga' and is situated within the Arikok National Park of Aruba. Visitors can witness the captivating spectacle of water spraying over the rocks as the tide rushes to shore along a desolate stretch of coastline. The pool's unique location amidst Aruba's rugged terrain makes it feel like an exclusive discovery for those who venture to this hidden gem.
Throughout history, the limestone cliffs along Aruba's north coast have been transformed by the might of the ocean and wind, giving rise to numerous natural bridges. The Natural Bridge was the most famous among these bridges, situated between the ruins of the Bushiribana gold mine and Andicuri Beach.
Wariruri Beach is situated in Wariruri Bay, a sandy cove surrounded by a rocky coastline composed of limestone, eroded by the sea. The beach is popular among surfers and fishers, and watching the surfers ride the waves is a stunning sight. It's also fascinating to see the ocean's bounty that the fishermen bring in with their lines. However, due to the strong currents, waves, and north-easterly trade winds, Wariruri Beach is not suitable for swimming or snorkeling. The beach is approximately 60 meters wide and 60 meters long, making it an ideal location to capture some fantastic pictures of the surfers and the surrounding scenery. Wariruri Beach is a secluded destination on the east coast of Aruba, making it a perfect place to escape from the crowds.
The Alto Vista Chapel is a small Catholic place of worship situated on the hills above the north shore of the sea, northeast of the town of Noord, on the island of Aruba. It is located 27 km north of the coast of Venezuela. The chapel's bright yellow exterior makes it a prominent religious landmark for visitors to see. The current chapel was constructed in 1952 and is situated in the same spot as the original chapel built by Domingo Silvestre, a Venezuelan missionary from Santa Ana de Coro, Venezuela, in 1750. Historically, the Alto Vista Chapel was where the conversion of Aruban Indians to Christianity is believed to have begun.
During the jeep tour, you can visit one of Aruba's stunning beaches, Shark Bay. It is a popular tourist attraction where visitors can relax and soak in the beauty of the Caribbean. The rugged coastline and picturesque landscape make this spot a must-see for nature enthusiasts. Additionally, Shark Bay is a favorite among surfers. It's a wonderful place to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the breathtaking.
Located on the north-western tip of Aruba, the California Lighthouse stands tall at 30 meters. Although its original purpose is now obsolete, thanks to modern technology, it still serves as a popular attraction for tourists. Visitors come to this part of Aruba to witness the breathtaking views of the island and the refreshing ocean breeze. This famous lighthouse is named after the S.S. California - that had got sunk previous to it being built-in 1910. provides a perfect way to cool off.
The Bushiribana Ruins are a popular historical site that offer insight into the rich culture and heritage of Aruba. Once a thriving gold mill in the 19th century, the ruins now serve as a reminder of Aruba's gold rush and the island's association with the precious metal. Visitors who are interested in learning about the island's history will find this attraction particularly fascinating. Although only ruins remain, the breathtaking sea views make it a must-visit spot on our jeep tour. We highly recommend taking plenty of pictures with loved ones to capture the adventure.
During the jeep tour, you'll come across the Tripod Bridge, a stunning natural formation that resembles a tripod and is also referred to as Three Bridges. Its unique shape is sure to leave you in awe. Aruba boasts several natural bridges, and the Three Bridges is located near the Natural Bridge, which unfortunately no longer exists. The Tripod Bridge, like its counterparts, was created naturally from coral limestone.
The Black Stone Beach is truly one of its kind as it is the only beach with black sand in Aruba. Being a natural marvel, this attraction is something tourists love to visit. All of the beaches in Aruba are worldwide famous for their white sand beach, but only Black Stone Beach is one that has black sand. You might not have seen something like this in your whole life, so make sure you enjoy each tour moment. The beach is surrounded by eroded black color stones, which are quite sharp and edgy.
Andicuri Beach, situated on the east coast of Aruba, is undeniably one of the most stunning beaches in the region. Its serenity, picturesque surroundings (the beach is encompassed by a limestone coast with ledges that provide shade), and crystal-clear water, which is constantly in motion due to the waves entering the cove, are its distinctive features. The waves, particularly, draw in individuals who enjoy bodyboarding and kitesurfing, making Andicuri Beach an ideal location for such activities.
The Ayo Rock Formations and Casibari Boulders are massive rock structures situated on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean. The Ayo Rock Formations are found near Ayo village, approximately 3.2 km (2.0 mi) from the old natural bridge towards Casibari. On the other hand, the Casibari Boulders are located about 3.2 km (2.0 mi) inland, between the Natural Bridge and Oranjestad, which is the capital of Aruba, to the west of Boca Andicuri.

We booked the tour at the last minute and had no regrets. The guide picked us up at our hotel on time and was the best guide we could have asked for. He grew up on the island and talked about his experiences and was very knowledgeable about the area. Every site we visited he gave us the quick tips and history and gave us plenty of time to look around and explore. We hit the old gold mine, the natural pools and the lighthouse. He was very helpful and took great pics of ours and our group. On the way back we made a pit stop at one of the local grocery stores so we could grab a few things we needed and still had us back on time. When I say this guy can drive I’m not kidding, If you have any back issues they will be fixed by the time you get back😂😂 If you book this trip and I highly suggest it, ask for Aigil to be your guide, you won’t regret it one bit. Aigil was the best My only suggestion is to bring your phone to the Natural Pool for pics. We left ours in the jeep fearing we would get them wet or drop them. Wish we had at least one phone for pics because the pools are absolutely spectacular
Mili was our tour guide and she was awesome. When she found out we really wanted to see Fontein Cave, she got permission to modify our tour to include a stop at the cave.
Our guide Jordy was excellent! Very knowledgeable about Aruba’s history. He was also a superb driver! He drove that jeep like a pro!
5 of our family members did this tour. The youngest was 5. The seats were a bit uncomfortable as they were very narrow! But there are seat belts which are helpful. The ride is extremely bumpy and I would recommend not taking a child younger than that. It decided to rain off and on through our half day trip which added to experience. The positive was that it reduced the dust! Our driver was Milli. She was great! She provided good advice and information about the various stops. She picked us up and dropped us off and was very personable and friendly. Our little gave her a big hug at the end of the trip!
Jordie our tour guide was great to interact with. Shared a lot of "insider" info about Aruba. Great experience. Be prepared for a fun but bumpy ride in the National Park. We'll worth the trip.
We absolutely loved this excursion!! Bryan was are tour guide , very friendly and informative during the excursion. We was able to see a lot of different parts of Aruba and learned so much !! Wasn’t able to swim in the natural pool because of the high waves and currents but everything else was perfect !!
We had a great afternoon with Brian. The time went quick and before you knew it, we were headed back to the hotel. His stories, along with the scenery was awesome. We got to know a little more about this fantastic place. We especially liked the natural pool as I had a few friends swimming with me. If you’re older, you might bring a few towels to use for extra padding on the rough roads for your seat. Even some water shoes might be nice as you climb down into the pool on the wet rocks.
Wonderful views and educational!
Our tour guide Jordy was excellent, we were supposed to be on a group tour. The other party canceled, so we got a tour with Jordy and he was so accommodating so knowledgeable very friendly and just an outstanding guide the whole time I would absolutely do this tour again!.
Our Outback Safari Jeep tour was quite a ride, but super enjoyable. Our tour guide, Bryan, was super knowledgeable and aimed to please all on our tour. I would highly recommend this adventure and definitely recommend Bryan as your guide.
