36,822 reviews

With deserted beaches and rocky coves, dusty plains dotted with cacti, and ancient limestone caves, Arikok National Park feels worlds away from the luxurious resorts of Aruba’s north coast. Covering almost 20 percent of the island, the park, one of the best reasons to venture south, offers a spectacular backdrop for outdoor adventures.

Rocky was a fantastic guide! Knowledgeable, prioritized safety, great driver. Definitely book this over trying to do the park yourself! You can also customize the experience to see what you want!

Great experience with a personal guide!
We got to see so much of the park. Our personal guide Jason was amazing. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the hike. Got to go at our own pace. Loved the natural pools.

Wonderful Experience!!
Our guide was fantastic and provided lots of interesting history along the way. Baby Beach and the natural pool were breathtaking, and our guide helped those who needed it on getting out of the natural pool and navigating the slippery rocks. This excursion is definitely a must when you come to Aruba! Well done!

Outstanding Tour with Amazing Local Tour Guide
I cannot say enough positive things about this tour and our guide Rocky! We had an outstanding experience visiting the limestone caves and natural pool. Rocky was kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about Aruba, its history, and all of the sites. I would highly recommend this tour and would definitely even take it again on a future visit to Aruba!
