What To Expect

Your full-day Aruba 4x4 adventure takes you to two of the island’s most popular coastal sites: the Natural Pool and Baby Beach. Start with hotel pickup in the morning for the ride to the tour operator’s base, where you meet your guide for a safety briefing before taking off in a caravan of Land Rovers.

Take a seat in your open-air vehicle—designed with extra-cushioned seats for a comfortable ride—and set out toward Arikok National Park, a protected preserve that makes up almost 20 percent of the island. En route, stop for photo ops of historical and natural landmarks including the California Lighthouse on Aruba’s northern end. Hear about the island’s gold-prospecting days at the Gold Mill Ruins and view Natural Bridge, a limestone formation on the northeast coast that collapsed in 2005.

Around midday, enjoy a homemade barbecue lunch and then continue to traverse rugged terrain through the national park to the Natural Pool, a coastal swimming hole accessible only to 4WD vehicles. With free time here, snap on your provided snorkel and mask to explore the pool formed by volcanic rock, and refresh with a cool beverage.

Departing the Natural Pool, travel by Land Rover to Baby Beach, a crescent-shaped stretch of shoreline located on Aruba’s southern coast. Enjoy more free time to relax at this Caribbean paradise, using your snorkeling gear to explore the marine life in the shallow, tranquil waters.

On the way back to your hotel, stop at a few other cultural landmarks including the Alto Vista Chapel and Anchor in Memory of All Seamen for a few photo opportunities.

California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes

Named after a merchant British steamship that was wrecked nearby in 1891. After the accident merchandise was said to have washed ashore, which locals gladly picked and sold in town. Shortly afterwards plans started to build a lighthouse. The keeper lived near the lighthouse. In the present the Lighthouse is fully functional and the keeper's house has been transformed into an Italian restaurant. Here you will hike the area.

Traveler Tips

Wear sunglasses and a bandana or buff to help with the dust.

Uncle John made everyone feel like family, plus we learned about all over Aruba’s famous spots.Wear your bathing suit under clothes and good shoes!

I would recommend bringing both water shoes along with walking shoes as there is brief hiking to and from the natural pool.

The trip was amazing!! Donnie & Mike we’re the best… They stay on point with the panoramic photos too! Too much fun! Our group had an absolute blast and they have Bluetooth so you can have amazing music. I thought the sun would cook us in the jeeps… but it was breezy and fun ♥️

Darvin is the best!!!! Our future captain-in-line is the best driver and the one who will make your trip more exciting and thrilling. If you are looking for the best time, ask for Darvin! He is funny, energetic, and entertaining. He really wants you to have the best time will traveling the island.

Packed day —well worth it!

Sherria_R, Apr 2022

Bring closed toe pool shoes and a towel. Expensive, but worth it. Xavi, Big G and Darvin were the perfect crew. Ask for them!!! We left exhausted which was a great sign that fun was had by all. We took our nearly 80 yr old parents—-FYI there are about 90 steps leading to the natural pool. They were able to walk them. Beware.

Best family day on the Ultimate Jeep Safari
