What is the best excursion in Aruba?
For most visitors it is an off-road trip to the Conchi Natural Pool in Arikok National Park — by safari Jeep if you would rather be driven, or by ATV or UTV if you want to drive yourself.

An excursion in Aruba means one of three things: going off-road into the desert interior, going out on the water, or renting something with wheels and writing your own route. This page lists every excursion we run, what it costs, how long it takes and who it suits.
All excursions are operated on the island by our partner Around Aruba Tours, with hotel pick up from Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Oranjestad and the cruise terminal.
Aruba is only 32 km long, so most excursions fit in half a day and you still get an afternoon on the beach. Use this as a shortcut:
Shared group excursions start around $60–$95 per person. Self-drive off-road vehicles are priced per vehicle rather than per head, which usually works out cheaper for two or more people. Private charters and private Jeeps are billed per hour for the whole group.
Prices below are the operator's own rates — we do not add booking fees and you pay the operator directly on the day.
If you only do one thing off the beach, make it the Natural Pool. It is the single most memorable spot on Aruba and you can only reach it by 4x4, ATV, UTV or on foot.
The second thing worth booking is time on the water: the Antilla shipwreck is a shallow, easy snorkel that even nervous swimmers manage, and it is reachable on both the catamaran sail and a private charter.

Yes. Every guided excursion includes pick up and drop off at hotels and rental homes in Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, Noord and Oranjestad, and at the cruise terminal.
In high season (January to April) book three to seven days ahead. Outside those months a day or two is usually enough, and same-day requests are often possible.
Most are. Safari and catamaran excursions take children from 4 years, ATV passengers from 6 years, and drivers must be 18 with a valid licence.
