  • Wariruri Beach - Wariruri is an old Indian word. This attraction is located on the northern, rocky part of Aruba, and is popular among surfers due to its beach and has white sand dunes. It is flanked by a bridge made naturally of limestone and offers one of the most spectacular views anywhere. This natural bridge is currently the second largest of its type in Aruba.

  • Anchor in Memory of All Seamen - At one time San Nicolas was the driving force of Aruba’s economy. It relied mostly on the economy of the seas. Many European merchants visited to do trades, but also to exchange with other merchants who were passing through. Later when the refinery opened in San Nicolas, Aruba started to receive mega-tankers to load and unload mostly crude and derivatives. As a recognition of the sailors and marine history, the anchor was placed. The contrast and backdrop are stunning and certainly a must see. Picture Opportunity

A must do when on Aruba - We did the half day version of this tour while on a shore excursion from our cruise. Our guide, Jonathan, was fantastic and our 6 year old son cannot stop talking about how fun he was. We saw Natural Bridge, Ayo Rocks, Bushiribana Ruins, Alto Vista Chapel and California Lighthouse before spending 45 minutes at Arashi Beach. The only thing I would've done differently is spend less time at the chapel so we could've spent more time at the beach but overall it was an amazing experience for our family. It was so much fun and a great way to see the real Aruba outside of the tourist and resort areas. Definitely recommend!

Aruba Adventure - What a great day on a great adventure! Aruba was a port stop on our 8 day So. Caribbean cruise. There was a little bit of confusion about where we were supposed to meet once we were off the ship. We waited at the white tent immediately in front of the gang plank but others walked a ways into the port area. But once that was cleared up, ABC representatives picked us up & took us ABC tours office for some last minute paperwork, instructions & to board our open-air jeep vehicles. After a bathroom break, we were off on our adventure! There were 3 jeeps in our tour. Our guides were Big G, JD & Alejandro. They made every stop interesting & informative. We saw some amazing parts of the island: natural bridge & pool, California Lighthouse & a beautiful beach. The midday meal was tasty too. We had the BBQ chicken & grouper. The ride itself is quite bumpy but so much fun! The guys also took some great photos of hubby & I. We would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to see some beautiful views & the far-flung parts of Aruba. If we are ever in Aruba again, we'll use ABC tours for an excursion. A few tips: apply sunscreen before you head out for the day, wear some water shoes for the natural pool, toss in a small snack bc it is a long day (water is provided) and hats & sunglasses can blow off while you're riding down the road so secure them accordingly.

Great for the family who cruises! - It was a lovely raucous time. This is off-roading with amazing stops! We were coming from a Royal Caribbean cruise and were only staying in Aruba for one day. The pickup was sooo easy and I felt like we really got to see the island in that time. Our tour guides were also the best. We had Alejandro and Donny. Alejandro took the BEST photos of our family and kept the energy going all day. Donny was so knowledgeable about the island and so patient at the natural pool. It was rocky getting down and he helped us the whole way. The day will feel a bit long if you have kids 10 and under so pack snacks but otherwise they will keep you well hydrated and engaged. (I will also note our vehicle had an issue and the company addressed it right away. It is a rare thing but reassuring to know they have a team on backup to swap out cars immediately if needed!! Well done!!)

Fantastic experience - I can’t say enough good things about this tour and our tour guides, Uncle Johnny, Alejandro, and Xavi! We were treated like family as we explored areas of the island that we had no idea existed. Thank you for a memorable experience. We hope to come back soon and will definitely book another tour!

Best Day of our Trip - This tour is a must when visiting the island. We had a blast with our guide Alejandro lead by Uncle Johnny. The Island is amazing and this truly is the way to experience areas you would never see without the knowledge of these folks. They proved to us why this is “One Happy Island”. This was the best part of our entire trip and that speaks volumes. Thanks ABC your family!!! “Aruba” Ariba!!!!

Best tour of Aruba - We had such an unforgettable experience. Everyone we spoke to at the ABC tours was kind and welcoming. Uncle Johnny was the most fantastic and passionate tour guide/driver, so sweet and caring to all of us. He made the trip lighthearted and fun, you can tell he loves to meet new people and show his country. He knows all the history, answers all the questions you can think of, and makes you feel welcome and comfortable for the whole ride. Truly such a sweet and kind human. We took the 8hour tour and although it is a busy itinerary of seeing a lot of places, I couldn't have asked for a better trip. We saw such breathtaking views all day (literally everywhere!), learned history, swam, went into a cave, drove through the beautiful national park, fed some wild donkeys, and more. We were able to see so many different parts of the country, truly an amazing experience, it makes you fall in love with Aruba! Would do it 1000X over, completely worth it.

UNCLE JOHNNY IS THE BEST - I had an amazing time in this excursion. My best friend had booked this excursion for the both of of for my bday trip to Aruba and it did not disappoint. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Uncle Johnny. It literally felt like he was your uncle . He shared with us stories of Aruba, his favorite places, funny jokes and just genuinely cared for each one of us. The best part of the tour was when he saw my friend and I providing water to the strays at baby beach and he had himself bought chicken for the strays as well. It was absolutely amazing. He even took us to our resort after the excursion 🥹 BOOK this excursion and HOPE that uncle Johnny is your tour guide he was the best !!

ABC ROCKS...As Nike says: Just do it! - OMG! We could never have imagined all that this excursion was. We took the Ultimate 8-hr.Jeep Safari adventure (not listed on this site), and it checked all the boxes. I would highly recommend this ABC Tours company for any off-road adventure. This very well-run company has it all going on: Nice vehicles, professional staff, great selections re choice of different tours. Kenny, Johna & BOGO, our jeep drivers/guides were so much fun, courteous, yet so informative and stopped at all the points of interest along the way to a next stop on the tour. After check-in, we boarded our ABC Jeep which accommodates 10, we were 9 "family" on this tour, and Kenny lead the way followed by Johna & BOGO in their jeeps with their passengers. Our first stop was the ole Gold mill ruins, then onto Alto Vista Chapel & other stops before having lunch. Btw, lunch at ABC was VERY tasty, and the very efficient & friendly servers provided service with a smile. The owner, Marvin, came over to our table to graciously thank us for allowing ABC tours to join in on our vacation. We resumed our adventure after lunch "up the mountain" and to the Natural Pool. The best was saved for last, with snorkeling & swimming at the beautiful calm, crystal clear waters of Baby Beach. This is the best way to experience the hidden raw Aruba "off the beaten path", still in its natural beauty. Full disclosure: Even though everything ran like a well-oiled machine, you will hit a few bumps in the road, some bigger than others, but at the onset, Kenny told us 'safety Aruba! Thanks again ABC! The adventure was most memorable, and we are grateful for the experience. Aruba Ariba!
