Yari provided one of the best experiences on the island. Her promptness, warm and friendly personality, and extensive local knowledge made the early morning hike absolutely worth it. She pointed out hidden in plain sight features and shared fascinating stories about the island's history, making the journey come alive.

Great hike and swim!

Nickeya_M, Mar 2024

It was quite fantastic swimming in the natural pool. You can see a lot of cool fish! The guide was quite friendly as well. Highly recommend this activity!

Awesome hike and pool visit

Christopher_W, Mar 2024

It was a beautiful day for the hike… and the natural pool was perfect! Our group was the first group there and only ones in the pool for the 1st 20 mins…. Awesome. Even when other hikers join it was not crowded and we had plenty of time in the pool before any big tour groups showed up! Would have like a bit more Tour guide info along the walk, but would definitely do again!!!!

Amazing

Samantha_C, Feb 2024

This hike is a must-do while in Aruba! The views were outstanding and we got so many wonderful pictures. Getting to swim in the natural pool was so fun and our tour guide was so friendly!

Great way to start the day in Aruba!

Nate_D, Feb 2024

Genesis was a great guide! Park was gorgeous and it felt like we had it all to ourselves, especially while swimming in the pools. Just enough exercise without being strenuous. Saw some interesting birds and lizards.

You have to do this!

Book this hike now! You won't regret it. It's a beautiful guided walk about a mile maybe, through part of Arikok National Park, to the Conchi Natural Pool. Yari is friendly, personable, professional, and knowledgeable. Such a great guide! The terrain is hilly with some loos rocks, gravel, but it's definitely a walk, not a climb. There are lots of little stops along the way when Yari explains history, flora, and fauna, and these give you a lote break. My mother is 70, and not I perfect shape, and she was fine. That said, you do have to be comforts ly ambulatory with decent balance. I loved this trip and I would do it again!

Thanks Yari!

David_I, Jan 2024

100% recommended. Yari is friendly and punctual. Knowledgeable and articulate in several languages, and takes you to the coolest places.

A must do activity on the island!

Jordyn_I, Oct 2023

This morning hike to the natural pool was amazing. Becuase of the timing of it you also get to see the sunrise on your drive to the meeting spot, which is always a soul filling experience as is. The hike itself is probably about 45 minutes to the pool, with plenty of time to relax in the water, and hike back is probably about an hour, just because some of it is more uphill than on the way there. My husband and I ended up being the only 2 people on the tour and had the entire natural pool to ourselves. The hike there and back was filled with many different plants and flowers, and we even saw some goats too:)

Definitely recommend

Amanda_H, Oct 2023

Great experience. Our guide was excellent. We got to see the natural pool early before all the rest of the tourists showed up and before the day got too hot. Would definitely recommend!

Morning Adventure with Breathtaking Views

Hayley_W, Aug 2023

> Stunning views from start to finish - from desert to rocky coastline to natural pool. > Perfectly timed to avoid the crowd at the natural pool and the heat of midday. The natural pool is truly special. Bring goggles if you want a closer view of some of the friendly fish there. You can swim a bit or just grab a seat on a nearby rock and soak in the energy and natural beauty. > Make sure to bring water and sunscreen - the sun is intense on the way back even before 10am, and there’s a bit of a hill to climb at the very end of the trek back. > Our guide kept us on track and watched over us at the natural pool. Absolutely loved this morning adventure and would 100% book again.

Definitely worth it!

Jennifer_C, Jul 2023

I don't usually write reviews however this is worth one! We met early and drove to the spot and hiked about 45 min to the spot (natural pools). It was absolutely amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable. She was so kind and personable. She made the whole excursion completely worth it! The nice part is, unlike going with a large tour, we got to spend more time at the natural pools. Also, because it was early, it wasn't as hot. The only thing I will say is that on the way back, there is a good size hill to hike up (its not terrible, but if you have someone in the group that's not in great shape or has medical issues, it may be a little more difficult). Overall, it is definitely worth it. The best excursion I've ever done anywhere!

Best walk/hike to the Natural pool!!

Chris_W, Mar 2023

We had a great time on this small group walking/hike to the Natural Pool. Our guide Yari was awesome and told us about many interesting things along the way. The time in the pool was a blast, We had the whole pool to ourselves for 45 mins! Highly recommend and would do it again!!

Great hike!

Terrestrial downpour but both guides were terrific. My 21 year old daughter loved it. We were the only people at the natural pool. Will do it again the next time I’m in Aruba and hope for better weather.
