  • Cave Pool Aruba - The New Natural Pool Cave with Cliff Jumping & The Bushiribana Goldmill Ruins are 200meters away from each other.
    A few years ago they have discovered a New Natural Pool with crystal clear water, white sandy bottom and a place for Fun Cliff Jumping. To get here we have to go down a ladder to find this beautiful Natural Pool. You can swim there if the waver are not to big for 15 to 20 minutes.

  • Baby Beach - Famous Baby Beach in the southern part of Aruba, close to San Nicolas, is a true Caribbean beach paradise. This gorgeous half-moon sandy expanse in a calm lagoon is ideal for families with small kids. The shallow waters make it a prime beach destination for swimmers who like to wade out for a long distance and still touch the sea bottom. Where the bay opens out to the ocean, Baby Beach also offers the perfect location for snorkeling.
    There is also a restaurant & Bar if you want something to eat or drink. We suggest ordering you food immediately when you arrive because it can be a little busy, so that you can eat and enjoy the Beach. On the way to Baby Beach or when heading back there is a chance to see wild Donkey’s living around the Sero Colorado Area.

Great tour with the colorful bus across the island - Hugo picked us up in his colorful bus and drove us around the island in a small group. The stops were great for exploring the island. Hugo was a great tour guide who provided us with everything we needed to know in his charming way. I can only recommend! :)

UTV Tour review 10/10 recommend - We did the UTV tour with Ivo and Brian as our guides. They were AMAZING! The tour was fabulous! Definitely not for the faint of heart.. if you like adventure this is your thing! We did a side by side UTV and it was perfect for the 2 of us! We got to jump in the natural pool and explore areas of the island we wouldn’t have done without the tour. Highly recommend! Ivo and Brian really made the experience awesome.

Highlight of our vacation - My husband and I took the UTV Northshore Adventure Tour with Ivo and Joe and we have to say that this excursion was the highlight of our entire Aruba Vacation. Ivo and Joe were kind, joyful and knowledgeable giving us history and fun facts along with adrenaline and adventure. The natural pool and the beach they took us to were absolute gems and the views were incredible. We would highly recommend a bandana and goggles since you get up and close with the desert. Absolutely the best time and we will be booking again for our next trip to Aruba.

Rock a beach tour - Umpa Lumpa was an outstanding tour guide. He gave all announcements in English and Spanish with full details of the points of interest. He added his personal sights like his grandmother old house and extra details of the islands history and beauty. Definitely worth the half day tour and the open air bus was fun. Loved his variety of oldies and island carnival music. 😍 ❤️ 💕

Old, bumpy school bus ride. Nothing exciting. - This is my genuine opinion, please do not mistake it as a complaint. I'm going to tell it as if you were my friend: Our RockaBeach tour bus arrived at our accommodation about 7 minutes late. Once the driver pulled up, I immediately told him we were one person short, and he did not acknowledge what I said. . Once I passed through the bus, I noticed the seats were broken and the padding was exposed due to possible wear and tear. It did not feel clean or safe at any point, there weren't even any seat belts. Once we got to the last pick-up location, the driver introduced himself with his lackluster energy. As a tour guide, I would assume you would try to get your tourists engaged, knowledgeable, and happy, but he seem to not want to be there that day. I'll give him credit for trying to excite us after the last pick up, however, his energy and face told us that he didn't want to be there that day. He took us to the farthest attraction first where we stayed 10 min. He did not offer a chance to go explore, take photos, or appreciate the view. He simply showed us ancient markings in an enclosure and everyone followed back on the bus. No snacks or water were offered, even though it was advertised in the ad. We were not taken to every attraction on the ad (Baby Beach or Sanddune) and we were not told why. We were rushed at every attraction. The ad says it'll take 6-7 hours , it took us less than 5 hours. I have since reached out to RockaBeach via WhatsApp, but no response. I did however receive one email response, but they stopped responding after the above explanation. Guides/Companies must realize every experience should be better than the previous. PS- TIPs for tours:Do not ask for 5 stars because you asked. 5 stars are earned.
