Itinéraire
Le phare de Californie, communément appelé Faro par les habitants, s’élève en évidence sur un plateau calcaire à Hudishibana, près de la plage d’Arashi et des dunes de Sasariwichi sur la côte nord-ouest d’Aruba. Il est reconnu comme la plus haute structure de l'île. Le phare tire son nom du bateau à vapeur britannique S.S. Californie, qui a coulé en 1891 – plus de deux décennies avant la construction du phare entre 1914 et 1916. Sa construction a servi de garde-fou pour éviter des accidents maritimes similaires. En mai 2016, le phare a été entièrement restauré en l'honneur de son 100e anniversaire.
La chapelle Alto Vista est une petite chapelle catholique qui se dresse sur les collines au-dessus de la rive nord d'Aruba. La chapelle actuelle a été achevée en 1952 et est située exactement au même endroit que la chapelle d'origine, qui a été construite par le missionnaire vénézuélien en 1750.
Au cours de cette visite, nous traverserons la capitale colorée d'Oranjestad. Vous pourrez profiter de la vue et passer par quelques maisons authentiques d'Aruba.
Énorme amas de roches tonalitiques offrant des sentiers environnants, des marches menant au sommet et des vues panoramiques.
Au cours de cette visite, vous visiterez la plus ancienne usine d'aloès du monde, où vous découvrirez les innombrables avantages de la plante locale.
Les ruines de la mine d'or de Bushiribana sont les vestiges d'une fonderie d'or du XIXe siècle située sur la côte nord d'Aruba. Construite en 1872 par l'Aruba Island Gold Mining Company, la structure en pierre servait à traiter le minerai d'or extrait de l'île. Le site offre un aperçu de l'histoire de l'exploitation aurifère d'Aruba, qui a considérablement influencé l'économie de l'île à cette époque.
Le phare de Californie est un phare situé à Hudishibana, près de la plage d'Arashi, à la pointe nord-ouest d'Aruba. Ce phare doit son nom au bateau à vapeur California, qui a été détruit à proximité le 23 septembre 1891.

I really enjoyed the tour. This was a very good experience. The island is beautiful
Absolutely loved this tour !! The best tour I have taken in a while. Very informative yet informal. Took some amazing pictures climb the rock formations, and then stop at the little local bar after coming down the rock formation and was able to grab a drink. My husband loved this much more than he even thought he was going to. Highly highly highly recommend.
Loved him customer service friendly knows his stuff interesting 👍 aruba is just altogether naturally beautiful and peaceful pristine beaches
Be sure to bring hats an sun screen. The Arubian sun is brutal. All our stops were between 30 to 45 minutes. Enough time to take in the scenery and take pictures.
It was great to see the many attractions and history of the island. John was a wealth of information
Dolfi made our experience unforgettable. He was fun, knowledgeable, and full of local insights! It was clear he loves sharing his island with visitors, and it showed in every story and stop along the way. Absolutely worth the time and money. Highly recommend!
Never saw the bus, we waited in our lobby for 45 mins , we were called est 840 stating they were on their way 910 they told us they were at the divi Dutch. NOT one time did I tell them thats where we were. So at this point we waited for over and hr and would've had other upset travelers so we told them to just cancel us due to respect of the rest. I would just like a refund for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that the pickup situation caused frustration and that you were ultimately unable to join the tour. We would, however, like to clarify that our transportation team did attempt to pick you up. The difficulty occurred because the hotel information provided to us was not specific enough to identify the correct Divi property. During our communication, we were first advised that you were staying at the Divi next to Tamarijn, and later that it was the Divi next to the casino. Aruba has several Divi properties located in the same general area, and these descriptions unfortunately led our driver to the wrong location. Our team remained in communication with you and continued trying to locate you, including calling around 8:40 AM and subsequently advising you where the driver was. This was not a situation where the transportation simply failed to arrive; our driver was actively attempting the pickup based on the location information we had received. We completely understand your decision not to further delay the tour for the other guests, and we appreciate your consideration for them. At the same time, we hope you understand that accurate hotel information is essential for shared transportation, as our drivers are coordinating pickups from multiple resorts within a limited pickup window. We regret that the misunderstanding prevented you from enjoying the tour and appreciate your feedback. Any applicable refund request will be handled according to the booking and cancellation policy of the platform through which the reservation was made.
The tour was ok the problem was the transportation the van was old and the tour guide qas no the best!!!sorry he was friendly and we. Ever see the color house like the tour info say
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found our guide friendly, although we’re sorry that the overall experience did not fully meet your expectations. We have taken note of your comments regarding the transportation and will share them with our operations team. Our vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained, but we understand that the condition and comfort of the transportation are also an important part of the guest experience. Regarding the colorful houses mentioned in the tour information, we apologize that this part of the experience did not match what you expected. Depending on traffic, road conditions, timing, and operational circumstances, the route may occasionally require adjustments. However, we agree that any advertised highlights should be clearly communicated if they cannot be included. Thank you again for your feedback. We continuously use our guests’ comments to improve our tours, transportation, and overall service.
This tour was perfect for the time we had to explore Aruba. The guide John was knowledgeable , courteous and very careful about safety at the ruins and the rock formation sites. Would recommend this for the value and the important landmarks of Aruba.
Excellent tour. Dolfi was a great tour guide and provided great information about the sights and Aruba in general. Worthwhile tour of the island.
