Itinerary

Mangel Halto Beach
15 min

One of the sites we recommend is to visit the Mangel Halto beach, located in Savaneta Aruba. This beach rarely gets visited by most guests and is definitely a local favorite!

Baby Beach
45 min

Baby beach is a must see when visiting Aruba. Beautiful shallow waters, crystal clear snorkeling areas, and just a wonderful soothing atmosphere.

Seroe Colorado Lighthouse
15 min

The Colorado lighthouse sits at the southernmost point of the island. The main attraction isn't actually the lighthouse however, it's the stunning view from the edge of the south point. On a clear day, you can even see the hills of Venezuela from there.

Bushiribana Ruins
15 min

On the northern coast sits the abandoned Bushiribana gold mill that once processed ore from mines in the nearby hills during Aruba's gold rush of the nineteenth century. A very scenic attraction for pictures.

Alto Vista Chapel
15 min

Alto Vista Chapel is a small Catholic chapel that stands on the hills above the north shore near Noord Aruba. The church, painted on the outside in stark bright yellow, makes it a conspicuous religious monument for people to visit.

Aruba Downtown Walking Tours
Admission not included30 min

The old stone California lighthouse stands as a silent sentry in the area known as "Hudishibana," near the island's northwestern tip. The lighthouse is named for the U.S ship - the California - which sunk about two years previous to its construction in 1910. The site offers spectacular sunsets as the final shades of sunshine give way to a brilliant azure canopy. Perched on a high seaside elevation, the lighthouse has become one of Aruba's scenic trademarks and offers a picture perfect view of the island's western coastline of sandy beaches, rolling sand dunes and rocky coral shorelines. The lighthouse has completed a recent restoration in May 2016 which coincided with the 100th anniversary of the completion of the lighthouse. It's free to view and take pictures of the lighthouse but to climb up there is a fee.

Casibari Rock Formations
15 min

Casibari is a settlement of Paradera, north of Hooiberg, in Aruba.[1] Evidence of prehistoric rock drawings is still visible at the site.[2][3] "Casibari" is an Indian name of Arawak (possibly Taíno) origin and can be explained as follows: CA as a prefix: where there are, SIBA (or CIBA) is stone and RI as a suffix is: good; so Where There are Good Stones. The name can also be explained as follows: CASIBA (or CACIBA) is hollow or cavern with RI is good; so Good Hole (cavern). [4] This toponym also stands for cas di baril, house of barrel, the first tin house of Aruba, made from oil barrels.

Ayo Rock Formations
15 min

Ayo Rock Formations are monolithic rock boulders located on the island of Aruba in the Caribbean, near Ayo village and about 3.2 km (2.0 mi) from the defunct natural bridge towards Casibari. Similarly, the Casibari Boulders are about 3.2 km (2.0 mi) inland between Natural Bridge and Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba, to the west of Boca Andicuri.

Tres Trapi Steps
30 min

Tres Trapi Beach is located on Aruba’s northwestern coast. This secluded stretch of sand boasts crystal-clear turquoise waters, soft white sands, and spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. Unlike some of Aruba’s more popular beaches, Tres Trapi Beach offers a tranquil escape for those seeking a more laid-back beach experience. One of the unique features of Tres Trapi Beach is its rugged and rocky coastline, which provides a sense of seclusion and privacy. The Caribbean’s surrounding cliffs and boulders offer excellent opportunities for snorkeling and diving, allowing visitors to explore the vibrant underwater world. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or relaxing under palm trees.

Wild but cool sites!

Fun experience but vehichle made questionable noises in route. 4 hours in, vehicle broke down in the road and had to call and be rescued. Thankfully I had cell service AND they were hasty to get us. Not sure we will ever do this kind of excursion again, but neat to be self guided!

Great day exploring the Happy Island

Fun day. Make sure you download the app they suggest. There is a three day free trial then cancel it. Bring a back up power charger or download the trip on two phones. The phone charger for the iPhone 17 didn’t work and my phone dies. I didn’t bring a back up battery charger but we had the app on my husbands phone. Ask for help with the route and select slower streets. Going on the highway at 72 km without a windshield or helmet is a little scary. We packed a cooler bag with lots of water and snacks. Wear your bathing suit and take a towel. Lots of fun and well worth the money.

Highly recommend!

This was so much fun! We went from one end of the island to the other and all over in between! The communication with tour operator was easy and the meet up spot was specific! Our tour person (sorry I don’t remember name) was so nice and she hooked us up with a map of the island on our phone and let us connect to her hotspot so we had service! I highly recommend this!!

UTV Rental From A Cruise Ship

I am writing this review from our cruise ship experience via the Carnival Horizon concerning our rental of a 2 person UTV. -The meeting point was at the Citgo gas station which is very close to the cruise ship terminal. The gas station is used by many different providers for UTV's, cars and other excursions along with the in and out traffic from a normal day at a gas station. - With several different groups using this parking lot for pickup and drop off it would be nice to see a sign or something that lets you know the name of the business you are dealing with as I had no clue which provider was the one we had rented from and this was the same for 2 other couples that I found who where trying to find the same provider for UTV's who were wondering through the Citgo parking lot asking others if they were the provider of the UTV's for that day. - The pickup spot was actually a street over from the Citgo and this was only discovered after one of the couples said they were going to go across the street and see about a single UTV that was parked. -The owner is very knowledgeable of Aruba and will help you chart out your trip relating to your timeframe and main points of interest.

Thank you for your review, will take you recommendations to see how we can make it more visibel for our customer for future rentals at the cruise port. Unfortunatly we are not allowed to have any signs. We do recommend our customers to always have a phone on(Not on our airplane mode) or have a plan that can work on the island and is able to recieve phone calls or receive messages with us in case of emergency or if you cannot find us. For future cruise ship customers we will have uniform with large road runner logo on it. And our meeting point is in front of the clean wheels car wash next to the Citgo Gas station that is a 5 minutes walk from the cruise port exite.

Explore your own way.

Nice to go when and where you want without a group to follow or wait on. The utv does not have a windshield and it does get windy so bring a scarf or bandana for hair became it will get tangled. The utv was waiting for us on the other side of the cruise port exit and ended at the gas station there as well.

Only way to see Aruba

Do it! Pick up was quick and easy, picked it up right outside the cruise terminal. Go at your own pace, eat lunch with the locals, none of restrictions of a cruise excursion feeling like a heard of goats and looking at a beach for 15min then back on the bus. Drop off is even easier, park where up picked it up and stroll back to the ship. Owners were quick to respond to any questions prior to arrival. Defiantly will be back and use them again.

Island exploration at your own pace!

Had a fabulous time seeing the island during this experience. Company was very friendly and communicative during entire experience. We knew exactly where to meet; how to manage vehicle; and places to visit based on stellar instructions from the operators. The app they recommended was excellent at helping us get around with no problems whatsoever. If you want to explore at your own pace and at your own discretion - this is the experience for you. Wear sunscreen though and be prepared for some wind!
