Alto Vista Chapel holds a special place in Aruba’s history as the first Roman Catholic church on the island, originally built in 1750. In 1952, local schoolteacher Francisca Henriques Lacle led a determined effort to rebuild the chapel on the original site.
Aruba Island Gold Mining Company Ltd. constructed the Bushiribana Gold Mill in 1872. Ore mined from nearby hills, including Sero Plat and surrounding areas, was transported to the mill where it was crushed and processed to extract gold.
Here’s a glimpse of the iconic Aruba Natural Bridge, once a breathtaking natural limestone arch along Aruba’s rugged north coast.
Andicuri Beach boasts a breathtaking and scenic setting. The wide bay is enclosed by coral-stone cliffs of which some parts provide for a little shade. Due to its perfect waves and stronger surf, various local body-boarding competitions are held here. Locals love to come here for the peace and quiet, compared to the more popular beaches on Eagle and Palm Beach.
Mangel Halto Beach is a secluded beach that is located on the southeast coast of Aruba. In fact, it is one of few secluded beaches you’ll find on this side of the island. The beach is approximately 600 meters long and is divided into several parts with sugar-fine sand and vegetation. Up north you will find the Spanish Lagoon, a characteristic point of interest of Aruba, that extends for more than 1.5 kilometers into the mainlands. The beach is well known for its mangrove vegetation and the Mangel Halto Reef that is nearby, you can even walk to it through the shallow water. You’ll find great snorkeling, scuba diving and canoeing opportunities here, both for the novice and the experienced. The marine life here is just phenomenal.
Lined with small and shimmery black eroded stones, Black Stone Beach is the only beach in Aruba boasting “black sand”. Erosion by the water not only created black pebbles but also rather sharp and edgy rocks that both characterize this location. Black Stone Beach lies just east of Boca Andicuri. Beach is quiet and secluded. Swimming or snorkeling here is not recommended, because of the strong currents and high waves at this location.

John B and Bono were the best, would recommend and even do again!
Good and nice bono/John B as guide.
Our best excursion yet, exceeded our expectations within the four hour timeframe. Don’t think we could have had better Tour Guides - shout out to Jon B and Bono, thank you for an amazing experience 🫶🏼
The tour was a lot of fun. The guides were terrific, very informative. We were able to get to places we would never have found on our own. It would have been an excellent experience had our UTV not been constantly stalling out every 5 minutes. It was difficult going up/down an embankment or merging into traffic on the road and suddenly completely losing power.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the adventure and appreciated our guides and the unique locations we visit. We sincerely apologize for the repeated stalling of your UTV, especially in situations where maintaining power is important. We take vehicle reliability and guest safety very seriously. Your comments have been shared with our maintenance team so the UTV can be thoroughly inspected. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Very enjoyable experience! We had a great time and saw beautiful views. Thank you John B and Bono for making the tour even better!
JohnB and Lionel 5 stars great guides, perfect UTV tour, great balance on adventure and relax. Aruba one happy island for sure we will come back 🤘🏻
Being picked up from our hotel was definitely a nice perk. Tour last about 4 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. You definitely need goggles though! We had a blast!
This was our second time doing an UTV excursion and this one was better than our first experience. Very organized from the beginning to end, smooth pick up and we visited great spots in the island. I would recommend 100% and if I we to do it again it would be with them! John B was great!
The trip overall is worthwhile to see some of the east coast arid lands. Stops we made were okay and I mostly enjoyed the site seeing and the guide himself. Skyler was great in reving up the experience. The caravan moved a bit quick and some of the sight seeing was missed !
Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We’re happy to hear that you found the tour worthwhile and enjoyed discovering Aruba’s rugged east coast, the sightseeing, and the stops along the way. A special thank you for recognizing Skyler! We’re very proud to have him on our team, and we’ll definitely make sure your kind words are shared with him. Our guides work hard to bring energy, fun, and local knowledge to every adventure. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pace of the caravan. While our guides need to keep the vehicles together and maintain the tour schedule, we understand that part of the experience is being able to appreciate Aruba’s unique landscapes along the way. We’ll take your comments into consideration as we continue improving the tour experience. Thank you for choosing AGW Tours Aruba, and we hope to adventure with you again on your next visit!
We had an excellent time and truly enjoyed every minute of it. Out of all the tours available in Aruba, this one really stands out. It was by far the best way to experience the other side of the island and see places we never would have found on our own. Our tour guides were fantastic , fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information throughout the trip. They made the experience both exciting and enjoyable. We also appreciated how new and well-maintained the UTVs were. Having the truck bed in the back was a great convenience for storing our belongings, which made the ride even more comfortable. They provided us with water bottles which was nice. Thank you for such a memorable experience. We will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Aruba!
