From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 7.
The California Lighthouse, commonly referred to by locals as Faro, rises prominently on a limestone plateau at Hudishibana, near Arashi Beach and the Sasariwichi dunes on Aruba’s northwestern coast. It is recognized as the tallest structure on the island. The lighthouse takes its name from the British steamship S.S. California, which sank in 1891—more than two decades before the lighthouse was constructed between 1914 and 1916. Its construction served as a safeguard to prevent similar maritime accidents. In May 2016, the lighthouse was fully restored in honor of its 100th anniversary.
Alto Vista Chapel is a small Catholic chapel that stands on the hills above the north shore of Aruba. The present chapel was completed in 1952 and is located on the exact same location as the original chapel, which was built by the Venezuelan missionary in 1750.
During this tour, we will drive through colorful capital Oranjestad. You will be able to enjoy the views, and pass by some authentic Aruban houses.
Enormous tonalite rock cluster offering surrounding trails, steps leading to the top & scenic views.
During this tour you will visit the oldest Aloe Factory globally, where you will learn about the countless benefits of the local plant.
The Bushiribana Gold Mine Ruins are the remnants of a 19th-century gold smelting facility located on the northern coast of Aruba. Built in 1872 by the Aruba Island Gold Mining Company, the stone structure was used to process gold ore extracted from the island. The site offers a glimpse into Aruba's history of gold mining, which significantly influenced the island's economy during that era.

We had a great tour of the highlights on the Aruba island. Dolfi was a terrific tour guide who took the time to make sure we got the history and details of each stop. This was a very good half day tour that left plenty of time at each stop.
Very good tour of the island and the guide John was excellent!! He explained everything we saw in 2 languages and was attentive to our concerns. 10/10!!
This was a great experience. I'm sorry forgot my guide's name....older gentleman. He was caring, smart & accommodating . He shaped the tour for me. Next trip to Aruba i hope to see more of the island with him.
Our guide John H was absolutely amazing! So kind and took pictures of us at every stop. We learned so much during the tour and he made us feel so comfortable! The tour had so many fun stops, my favorite was the aloe factory and the rock formation! 10/10 experience! Would highly recommend!
We only had 4 people on our tour and John was phenomenal! His explanations were great and we got to see a lot of Aruba. My favorites were the church, lighthouse and Natural Bridge.
Dolfi was knowledgeable and friendly. He was pleasant and helped us learn more about the island’s history and sites. Air conditioned bus a big plus.
This is my first time visiting Aruba. I did this tour because I wanted to see other parts of Aruba. Dolfi the tour guide was very friendly and helpful.
Dolfi is a sweetheart and is a wonderful guide. He picked me up from my hotel, and went from there. Wonderful experience, very affordable for 4 hours. Climbed rocks and caves.
We covered a lot of ground in 4 hours. The small group tour was so enjoyable as was our guide Dolfi, who was entertaining, knowledgeable & accommodating! The inclusion of the tour at the Aloe plant was a highlight. Pick up and drop off at our location made it seamless . Thanks for a memorable ride Dolfi.
It was a great tour. We really enjoyed John. He took care of us when the air stopped working in our van and had another van delivered that had great A/C!
