Natural Pool Tours and Tickets

The Natural Pool is just that—a natural pool. It’s fed by water from the Caribbean Sea and enclosed by a volcanic rock basin. The Natural Pool is located in Arikok National Park on the eastern coast of the island of Aruba.

The best way to get to the Natural Pool is by booking a horseback-riding tour or 4WD tour. Active travelers also can hike there by following the trail markers from Daimari Beach. Due to rugged terrain in the park, it is not possible to drive with a standard vehicle.

Yes, it is generally safe to visit the Natural Pool. However, it is risky to visit during high tide or rough sea conditions, so check the weather and tide conditions before heading out. For peace of mind, visit with a guide who is familiar with the area.

When visiting the Natural Pool, you should bring enough water to ensure that you do not get dehydrated in the strong sun. Sun protection—including sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat—is also a must. Pack swimwear if you plan to swim, and wear sturdy shoes that can hold up to rugged terrain.

No, there are no facilities or restrooms close to the Natural Pool. There are sometimes vendors selling snacks and drinks nearby, but you should bring enough food and water to last your entire visit. Also, don’t forget to bring sunscreen so that you can reapply after getting in the water.

No, there is no admission fee for the Natural Pool itself, but there is a fee to enter Arikok National Park, where the Natural Pool is located. Pay the entrance fee at the National Park office at the park entrance, and you’ll receive a map and a wristband.
