What the jeep tour Aruba route covers

  1. Arikok National Park — Almost a fifth of Aruba, and the part most visitors never see. Desert, cactus, wild goats and a coastline the trade winds hammer all year.
  2. Conchi Natural Pool — A volcanic rock pool on the wild Atlantic side. Waves crash over the outside wall while the inside stays calm enough to swim. You cannot reach it in a rental car — that is why the jeep exists.
  3. Quadirikiri Caves — Cool air, natural chambers, and openings where sunlight drops straight through the roof. Bring a phone you do not mind getting dusty.
  4. Casibari Rock Formations — Giant granite boulders you can climb for a 360° view of the island — coastline, desert and neighbourhoods in one turn.
  5. Ayo Rock Formations — The other boulder field, quieter than Casibari, with Arawak petroglyphs on the rock faces.
  6. Donkey Sanctuary — A rescue home for the island’s wild donkeys. Free to enter, run on donations, and a genuinely good stop with kids.
  7. Bushiribana Ruins — What is left of Aruba’s 19th-century gold smelter, sitting on cliffs above the surf.
  8. California Lighthouse — The northwest tip. On a clear day the view runs a long way out.
  9. Alto Vista Chapel — A small yellow chapel in the desert, and the quietest place on the route.
  10. Baby Beach — Shallow, flat and warm at the southern end of the island. The snorkelling gear comes out here.

What is included

  • Private jeep and driver-guide for your group alone
  • Snorkelling equipment
  • Iced cooler with bottled water
  • Hotel or accommodation pickup and drop-off

What is not

  • Arikok National Park entrance — $16 per person, paid at the gate. Under-18s free.
  • Meals. Bring something, or we stop.

Practical

  • Start: 8:00 am. It is a full day — plan nothing else for it.
  • Group size: up to 4 people in the jeep.
  • Cancellation: free up to 24 hours before.
  • Bring: swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, shoes you can climb boulders in. The natural pool and Baby Beach are both swim stops.
  • Book ahead: this fills up — on average it is booked around five weeks in advance.

Is this the right tour for you?

It suits people who want the interior and the wild coast rather than another beach day, and who would rather not share a bus with twenty strangers. It is a long day on rough tracks — worth knowing if anyone in your group struggles with that.

If you would rather be on the water, we also run private catamaran charters aboard Isabella.
