- Aruba Aloe Factory, Museum and Store - Historically, aloe has played a significant role in the local economy. Today, a state-of-the-art factory exports various products worldwide. Take a tour of the museum and factory to gain insight into the Aruba aloe production process and learn about 160 years of aloe cultivation history in Aruba. Afterward, you can shop at the Aruba Aloe store. A favorite product is the hand sanitizer, which smells amazing compared to other products on the market and protects your skin simultaneously.
- California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - The California Lighthouse is located at the northwest tip of Aruba. Enjoy the stunning view from the top of the lighthouse. Please note that the admission fee is not included in the tour.
- Casibari Rock Formations - The Casibari Rock Formation is located toward the center of the island, just north of the haystack hill named Hooiberg. Climb to the top of the quartz-diorite rock formation and enjoy a view of about 30 percent of the island. It’s a perfect spot for some amazing photos.
- Ayo Rock Formations - The Ayo Rock Formations are monolithic rock boulders that offer an impressive sight.
- Natural Bridge - The Natural Bridge was Aruba’s number one stop until it collapsed on September 2, 2005. Nonetheless, the site offers an amazing view over Andicuri Bay, a popular bodyboarding spot. The good news is that a smaller natural bridge is forming nearby, right next to the original site where the ruins of the old bridge now lie.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - A short distance from the Bushiribana ruins lies a hidden secret recently discovered: a cave pool. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can climb down a ladder to swim in this pool. However, swimming shoes are required.
- Baby Beach - The famous Baby Beach is located in the southeast part of Aruba, offering spectacular ocean views and shallow, crystal-clear waters. Here, you can swim and snorkel, making it perfect for kids.
- Mangel Halto Beach - This secluded beach is an ideal spot for sunbathing and snorkeling in Aruba, with calm, shallow waters rich in sea life supported by an intriguing network of mangroves.

The Best Tour Guide on the Island - Specifically ask for tour guide Lawrdy. When I tell you this guy is personable, knows his stuff, extremely patience and very concerned that you are enjoying the island, words cannot describe. There was an issue with the car, however we were not aware of it. We went to a mechanic to fix the issue. It took less than 5 minutes. He was very apologetic and let us know that our safety was priority and the most important thing to him. We asked thousands of questions and he answered every one of them. The personal touch that he put on the tour was above par. If you are looking for an amazing extraordinary tour ask for Lawrdy.
In my opinion he is the best tour guide on the Island because I don’t know how you could get much better.

If you’re visiting Aruba... - If you’re visiting Aruba and looking for the ultimate island experience, this is the tour to book! I had the pleasure of going on the Full-Day Sightseeing Island Tour with a Cave Pool Swim, and let me tell you—it was absolutely incredible.
Our tour guides, Lardy and Clarence, were truly amazing! From the moment we boarded the vehicle, they were engaging, friendly, and filled with knowledge about Aruba’s culture, history, and hidden gems. We rode in comfort—AC blowing just right, good vibes, and even better music setting the tone for a great day.
Special shoutout to Mr. Lardy, who went above and beyond—especially when helping us down into the cave pool. He made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and got those unforgettable photo ops. It felt like VIP treatment all the way!
This tour was the highlight of my trip—relaxing, educational, and full of stunning scenery. I enjoyed every minute and will definitely be back. Lardy and Clarence, you both made this trip everything. Thank you!

Excellent experience - This was an amazing trip. We had Lardi as our driver he was very knowledgeable, considerate and very accommodating. He went above and beyond to show us the beautiful country of Aruba. He gave us many recommendations and even pointed them out as we passed by them. I highly recommend this company and especially Lardi as the tour house.

The Full Aruba Experience - Trip was awesome and very highly recommended. Had Lardy as a spectacular tour guide and Clarance at the wheel driving us. Tour was very informative and Lardy answered all our questions. Made sure to explain the history of the areas that we toured through and gave us the best experience. Suggested places to visit and places to eat that some wouldn’t know or think of. Would recommend better footwear when walking at the Rock Formation, Natural Bridge, Gold Mill Ruins, and the Cave Pool. Baby Beach was a hit to end the trip and cool off . Can’t say enough good stuff about this crew and would highly recommend them 9 out of 8 times.

Disappointed - The reason I booked this excursion was because it stated at the time I made the reservation that it had an air condition bus and van (even showed pictures of these vehicles). I needed an air condition bus for health reasons. So I even verified with the company by email that I would have an air condition bus. They replied to my email with this statement “we will make sure you have your air conditioned bus.”
I was so disappointed and embarrassed, since I was the one who booked this for my friends and I, when an old school bus with all it’s windows were down pulls up to the pickup point. The view was bad since the bars in the windows obstructed the view. I was hoping to add pictures of the old bus and a copy of the email, but there wasn’t an option to add photos. Of course I requested a refund, but it was denied.
