Start and Finish Point
Ayo Rock Formation are monolithic rock boulders on the Island of Aruba. Earlier settlers of Aruba called the Arawak people used to visit the rock formation so they can hear incoming thunderstorm closing in on the island. You will see their carved painting on some rocks.
The national park has many different sights and sounds. Depending in what areas you are, in the park you can see wild life, the tallest peaks in Aruba, stunning coastlines and arid vegetation that most people have not seen before.
Located in the national park, you will see the Natural Pool is made out of vulcanic rocks. It offers a wall of protection against the big waves from coming in. You will see that waves crashing at the back of the rocks, only to splash gently into the pool. You will see that it takes almost 100 steps to get down to the pool.

Donny and Dave are so great people. Have good customer relations. I will go on the tour with them without thinking twice. Good job D & D. See you again. Thanks
Uncle Johnny and Joshua are the best tour guides ever!! He made our day so fun and exciting and most of all made sure we were safe! From pick up to drop off this excursion is a 10/10. Looking forward to next time with abc tours!
Uncle johnny and Joshua were incredible. Truly made our adventure so much more fun with such lovely tour guides. JOSHUA BETTER WIN BEST TOUR GUIDE BECAUSE HE IS! Uncle johnny we will miss you. Had so much fun.
Josh and Uncle Johnny were amazing and made the atmosphere the absolute best ! We made friends with the other people in our truck, length of the trip was perfect and had a great meal after! This was our second time booking with ABC and i would recommend them to anyone looking for a tour company!! Thanks again to Josh and Uncle Johnny, much love!
My husband and I had the best day exploring the island with Donny! For a full day of fun, a great guide, and amazing tour spots - I would recommend this tour to anyone! Ask for double diamond Donny, he’s the best! Thanks for one of the best memories on our honeymoon!
Overall, it was a nice experience. Our tour guide, Uncle Johnny, was very knowledgeable about the beautiful island and shared a lot of information with us throughout the tour. However, I personally felt like the tour was very scripted and our group was missing some of the fun and energy that we saw with the other jeeps. Other groups were playing music and really getting into the experience, so when I asked Uncle Johnny about music, he said the radio was broken and there would be no music, which was a huge letdown. There was also a lot of talking from the guide, which I completely understand is part of a tour, but personally, I felt it was a little overdone. I also thought the repeated reminders about how important the survey was, including handing out cards and encouraging us to complete it before we even left, came across as unprofessional and took away from the experience. As far as the stops, I wish we had more time at the Natural Pool and less time at the cave. The Natural Pool was definitely a highlight, while the cave stop felt a little pointless to us and I would have preferred spending that extra time at the pool. That being said, we also had the opportunity to meet Dave the other driver on the tour. Dave was truly great! He was very personable, funny, and had a great sense of humor. We also met Jellybean, who was an absolute sweetheart. We mentioned that our group was celebrating an anniversary and two recent weddings, and she surprised the entire table with a round of shots. She even brought the cook out so we could meet her because everyone loved the food so much. Those personal touches definitely added to our experience. Overall, despite a few bumps in the road, we had a nice time. The lunch was good, we met some wonderful people, and I do feel the experience was worth the price.
Amazing experience with an amazing tour guide Uncle Johnny and Dave
I booked this half day Jeep adventure in Aruba through Viator. I was so excited for this tour and our tour guide Reynold (Ray) delivered!!! He was on time, friendly and knowledgeable about all the history in Aruba. He spoke in English and Spanish and if we had any questions, he was there to answer them. Ray played music in the Jeep too, which made the trip super fun! He also enjoyed himself. Ray stopped at many points of interest and let us take many pictures. One of my favorite spots was called Dos Playa. It was such a fun and adventurous day and that’s because of Ray!! I highly recommend this tour!
My family and I had an amazing time on our Jeep tour! Dave, our tour guide, made us feel right at home from the minute he picked us up at our hotel. We booked the tour online directly with ABC tours so the check in the day of the tour was quick and easy! There were only 2 other families with us on the jeep. He got to know each family and even asked us which music we liked so he could play it during our ride. At each stop he shared so many cool facts with us about Aruba. Then we had time to explore before going to the next stop. He took family pictures of us and kept us engaged and happy the whole time! Dave and Uncle Johnny, the other amazing guide who came along with us in another Jeep, are the best! We truly enjoyed spending the day with them!
Uncle Johnny and Dave are the best tour guides ever! They gave us a really great mix of history, culture, nature and humor. They were safe and skilled drivers and extremely knowledgeable. They made everyone feel like we were family. Dave took care of us going up on the rocks and down to the natural pool to make sure we were okay and even assisted me and made sure I didn't slip. The tour was so much fun, my husband summed it up afterwards when we were alone by saying "Well, that was memorable." I totally agree I am going to remember this trip forever! We got to learn about the island and make some connections while on our tour, with both guides and some other participants. Afterwards, the food was amazing and Jellybean was an amazing server. She heard that four of us were honeymooning and two were here for a five year anniversary and hooked us up with some shots. She was extremely kind and even brought out the cook so we could say thank you to her. It truly felt like a celebration and made us feel very special. All in all, amazing trip. Way better than guided tours I've done on other vacations because of the great tour guides here. I can tell everyone who works there is very close and has a lot of fun together. Definitely would recommend and I will greatly consider coming back, both to ABC tours and Aruba in general because I learned so many great things. If you decide to go here, request Uncle Johnny and Dave!
