Highlights
- Natural Pool - One of Aruba’s most popular and hard to reach location, so the perfect way is stepping into one of our off-road vehicles and let our guides drive you there.
- Natural Bridge - A must-see scenery! For thousands of years, pounding waves and strong winds have slowly chiseled away at the limestone cliffs along Aruba’s north coast to create several natural bridges including the current Baby Bridge.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins is an abandoned gold mill that once processed ore from mines in the nearby hills during Aruba’s gold rush of the 19th century.
- California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - Now one of Aruba landmarks it was built in 1914 to signal ships nearing Aruba.
- Alto Vista Chapel - The picturesque Chapel of Alto Vista was the island’s first Roman Catholic Church, built 1750 and reconstructed in 1953.
- De Palm Tours - De Palm Tours Offices
- Ayo Rock Formations - Ayo Rock Formations are monolithic rock boulders and clusters of huge Tonalite rocks. This rock formation, unique to the more typical features of the area, inexplicably rises up from the desert soil to create an unusual setting.

Fantastic company and tour - This company was really great. I booked a different morning tour and missed it bc the ship came in late. The lady at the submarine store was so kind and helped me switch to a great afternoon tour .
We rode in a fun jeep all around the National park and got to see two sets of caves and a cool natural pool with fish . The guide was really nice and took amazing pictures in the caves. We then went to baby beach where we could snorkel if we wished. I took the equipment and enjoyed seeing so many fish in a very easy location. It was perfect for the beginners in the jeep .
I highly recommend this company and would definitely book them again on my next trip.

Great off-roading with Edwardo! - DePalm is the company to use for your off-roading experience! Edwardo is the best! Very informative. He knows the backcountry well and will take you to great sightseeing areas avoiding the large tour busses. I have already recommended him to friends going to Aruba and will definitely use DePalm Tours again!

The place to be for a great adventure! - This was one amazing tour! Right from the start, our guides Matthew and Sheldon not only put our minds at ease with what to expect and to go over safety protocols but the two of them together were hilarious!! They kept us laughing and engaged at every stop. Mother Nature also allowed us to swim at the natural pool. Both guides were there to supervise and had us leave when conditions started to turn. Yes off roading is very very bumpy. Yes you will get dirty… but that too is part of the fun! There is a hatch at the back of the ATV to store a bag. They also provided water refills too - so great on such a hot day! What an adventure! If you’re thinking of doing an ATV tour, choose this one. You won’t be disappointed. You’re in for a fun ride!

Eduardo did Great with Suboptimal Weather - Eduardo was superb! Friendly, informative, flexible, fluent in both Emglish and Spanish. At each stop he gave us useful information about the history and the current facilities.
The tour is highly sensitive to weather; we were cut short at one spot and missed another entirely due to high winds. Eduardo did his best to compensate, but Mother Nature is tough--one needs to go on this tour with that in mind.
Thanks to Eduardo's 5-star guidance, what could have been a 3-star tour ended up just fine.

Lots of Fun! - My father and I did a half day Jeep tour to the natural pool and UTV tour to the lighthouse. Our tour guide Matthew was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He kept everybody safe while having fun. The water was too choppy to snorkel and the ride is pretty bumpy, but it was worth it for the view. UTV portion was a blast. Definitely recommend!
