    Highly recommend this tour with Howard. He was a fantastic guide and was extremely conscientious. It was great getting an early start on our hike because he picked up our park passes the previous day. Howard also accommodated a late reschedule because our daughter was sick and then made sure to create a great experience for us. We particularly appreciated how he looked out for our family at the natural pool. He made sure we all enjoyed the day and got to appreciate the beautiful park and all it had to offer

    You aren't ready for this level of fun & adventure!

    I've traveled the caribbean for decades, even been to Aruba before, but this was hands down the best excursion for what I was looking for. i wanted a small, local, excursion to see the natural beauty and less trodden roads, and Uncle Howie delivered in spades. This fine adventurer gave us a sense for life in Aruba and took us to an incredble location for relaxing and swimming. We cannot say enough that if you want a REAL Aruba experience this is your man. A vigorous hike in the island nation's only national park, what sites!! A natural swimming formation with gorgeous fish and sea life. Wow Wow Wow is all I can say.
    Fantastic hike with a wonderful guide!

    Insane scenery, great value, expert guide

    I cannot recommend this experience enough! Howie was both knowledgeable and extremely personable. I went with my dad who is not a huge fan of hiking but went because I enjoy it. Howie was so kind and perfectly accommodated us (didn’t mind letting us take extra time/ was extremely patient). The hike is almost exactly 3 miles and is between easy and moderate. What the reviews fail to tell you is that, Howie is a firefighter meaning that we felt extremely safe! When we were at the natural pool there was a group from the bus tours and their guides were nowhere near as helpful or accommodating. This was by far the best tour we booked in Aruba! Do yourself a favor and spend the morning hiking and swimming in the natural pool/ non-touristy beaches!!
    A fabulous experience !

    Howie’s hiking tour in Aruba was the best! We had a large group, which was a first for him, and he handled it beautifully. He is knowledgeable, personable and capable- what more can you ask for? And he arranged for several add-ons which made our day perfect.
    Great experience!

    I had a great experience with this tour, it is personalized, the guide explained the most important information of the relevant spots, he explained more about the culture of Aruba and he was all time aware of us, I really recommend this experience…If you don’t like large group tours this is your best option…so nice!!!
    Wonderful hike in Arikok

    Howard aka Howie, picked us up at our hotel, with park permit, snacks/water, and a contagious attitude of adventure. He is delightful, attentive, full of information, and even took photos to document the hike. What a wonderful way to end our stay, a beautiful hike on the coast and a swim at the natural pool in Arikok Park! We highly recommend booking a tour through Uncle Howie’s.

    BEST hiking tour ever !!
    Loncey_E, Jan 2024
    Howard the tour guide was amazing !! He was very informative in explaining the different historical sites and was patient with me in allowing me to have time to dive and swim the natural pool. I overcame my fear of water and was successfully able to accomplish that overall feeling very optimistic!!
