A great fun overview of some of the must see stops in Aruba.

It was an excellent visit in a safari jeep.We visited a small animal location with absolutely beautiful peacocks , interesting turtles, ostriches , and more .on to the first Catholic Church in Aruba high up in the mountain. Next came the now abandoned gold mine, a drive on backroads, a visit to beautiful caves. Our guide was most attentive, helpful, and informative

Aruba Outback Safari Jeep Tour - Lighthouse, Arikok & Conchi Pool

Setha_P, Mar 2026

Amazing day!

spent the entire day on a jeep safari with Andrew and it was honestly one of the best days of our trip. He took us all over the island we saw caves, water, a lighthouse, the natural bridge, fed animals, and even got to do some pretty crazy off-roading which made it so much fun. Andrew also made sure we were taken care of the whole day. He brought us fresh local food and drinks along the ride, which made the experience feel really personal and not just like a tour. You can tell he really loves what he does and wants people to experience the island, not just see it. If you’re thinking about booking a jeep tour, spend the day with Andrew. It ended up being one of our favorite days of the entire trip.
