Highlights
  • California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - The California Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on the northwest tip of Aruba. This lighthouse was named for the steamship California, which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.
  • Alto Vista Chapel - Built by Spanish missionaries in 1750, services are still conducted in this little yellow chapel that is considered to be the first church established in the Caribbean.
  • Natural Bridge - Explore the rugged northern shore of Aruba and discover many natural bridges on your way; some small, yet all true gems.

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.

  • Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Experience remnants of Aruba’s gold history at various sites throughout the island, including gold mines and gold mills.

Now known as Aruba, a colorful history of gold prospectors has shaped the island’s history, dating back to the 1400’s and 1500’s, when adventurers searched the Caribbean for wealth and treasures.

  • Ayo Rock Formations - Step back in time and discover the islands mystical giants. Pathways are in place to better explore these ancient sites.

For such a relatively flat island, the presence of the unusual hills and huge monolithic boulders in Aruba are truly an enigma. Two rock formations can be climbed and explored: Ayo and Casibari.

These remarkable geological formations add aesthetics to the landscape as well as provide excellent vantage points from which to better view the island.

  • Arashi Beach - Last stop will be Arashi Beach , perfect for families to go snorkeling, swimming and sun-bathing.

the perfect spot for snorkeling in the Caribbean.

Arashi Beach is a white sand beach north of Malmok Beach, just off the road to the California Lighthouse, offering beach huts, a fun bar and large parking area. New features on this beach include showers, lounge chair rentals at occasionally live music at the bar. A fun beach for families!

Exceptional - Our first time in Aruba, and we couldn't have been luckier to work with such a professional company. Reasonable prices, excellent cars, and personal touch on the information provided for the most amazing places to visit. The experience from the first day to our last day was perfect. They truly know what customer experience is—highly recommended.

Best Aruba excursion - There is nothing like driving your own UTV in the presence of such and excellent guide. Shonn knew everything about everything - history, cuisine, geologic formations - never stumped hi m once. It was a great tour that we will be back for.

Best one I have ever been on !! - Highly recommend doing this UTV tour an awesome experience I have done these tours in Mexico all the way to Hawaii and this tour has it all!!! Marco was our tour guide for 5 + hours and the driving was absolutely awesome and enjoyable to be with and very helpful and informative!. The two seater and the 4 seater are comfortable and easy to drive. Don’t bother shopping around for a better deal this ran me 700 with tip for the 5 of us and was worth every penny! The scenery is great and only thing I would recommend is buy the goggles at the first stop they go up in price as you go ?? At other stops also bring cash it’s a dollar to use the bathrooms at the rest stops. Also wear shoes that you can climb with ie gym shoes and not flip flops the stops to do the jumping into the water. Enjoy !

Was stuck in the desert... - Was stuck in the desert for over an hour because the key fob battery was dead. We lost the best part of the trip which was making it to the natural pools with the lose time. I felt I should have been financially compensated. I have used Viator before and have had good experiences until now.

Not Happy - We showed up to our booked/paid tour and we were told upon arrival that they had been trying to contact the tour guide but he was not responding. They told us we could take the UTV and attempt to go to all the the spots the tour guide was going to take us on our own and they would refund us JUST $40. Keep in mind for 4 our trip was $380. This was knowing we do not know the area! We considered it then we’re told they didn’t have any snorkel equipment, again, it was supposed to be included in the tour price. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We should have been contacted prior to us showing up that they did not they could not provide the full tour so we could have made other plans.
