You’ll have a great time on this four-by-four trip, especially if Gabriel is your guide! We had an absolute blast and would highly recommend this to anyone! Wear sunscreen and something to cover your face for the dust, but it’s well worth the price, especially if you do the 2-seat and ride together!

Itinerary

Explore the natural beauty of the northern coast on a half-day Aruba ATV adventure, starting with hotel pickup and a safety briefing. All riders hop aboard Honda Ranchers 420cc's—then follow your guide in a caravan toward your ultimate destination.

A winding road leads to Alto Vista Chapel, built on the hilltop site of the island’s first Catholic church constructed in 1750. Snap photos of the shimmering Caribbean Sea from this beachside locale before continuing along the remote coastline.

Next up is Baby Natural Bridge, a 25-foot-long (8-meter) coral limestone formation sculpted by eons of wind. You also find hundreds of stone pyramids dotting a shoreline at a nearby wish garden where you can add your own devotional spire.

Continue on to the partial-stone wall ruins of Bushiribana, and learn about the abandoned mill that smelt three million pounds of gold during Aruba’s gold rush in the 19th century.

Refresh with bottled water and a leisurely swim amid tropical fish before re-boarding your ATV for the return trip, ending with drop-off at your hotel.

We were a party of 17 friends and family. Gabriel and Myron were our tour guides and to be honest, we couldn't have ask for anyone more fun and knowledgeable! They both were more than amazing with so much energy. They both absolutely made this tour what it was! The tour was fun, rugged with history of Aruba with the most spectacular views of the island! I would do this tour over and over! Thank you Gabriel and Myron!

First time in Aruba/First time ATV tour

Shantwane_M, Sep 2026
Gabriel was a great tour guide, he’s informative when it comes to explaining the history of Aruba. He’s very passionate about his job and the future of Aruba, he stated the ATV tours are in jeopardy of going away because the people that be want to save the birds on the Northern Coast, the tour did not harm any birds or any wildlife in that area at all. It would be a great loss if these ATV tours were to go away, it was a pleasure experiencing Aruba on an ATV and only seeing parts of the island you can only get to by off roading. I would recommend this tour to all my friends and family that decide to visit Aruba. I would definitely do this tour again the next time I decide to vacation in Aruba.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

hank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Aruba with Gabriel and appreciated his passion for our island’s history and nature.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Excellent off-road adventure

If you’re looking for an adventure with some rocky roads and lots of bumps, this tour is for you. This was one of the best off-road experiences we had. Nahym and Gabriel were super entertaining, exceptionally knowledgeable about the island and attentive to safety as we crossed through the streets. Kini kini did not disappoint!

Book this excursion!

Lakisha_M, Jul 2026
Nahym picked us up at the time we were given. He was very funny & upbeat! He explained everything perfectly, & let us know that the ride was rocky & rough. He told us things about Aruba that was informative, & I enjoyed that. We stopped at a couple of places along the ride. We were able to get food & drinks from a food truck also. This was the best ATV experience I ever had! Expect to get dusty & dirty, but that’s expected on an ATV ride. Definitely book this excursion if you’re in Aruba!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Kini Kini Tours was the best!

Natalie_R, Jul 2026
This excursion is a must-do in Aruba, and you HAVE to go with Kini Kini Tours if you want a fun time! They’re family owned, and made us feel so comfortable the entire time. Our tour guides Gabriel and Nahim were incredible, Nahim has the best laugh! Transportation is included, and it looks awesome (picture included). You get to drive on the main roads it’s so cool, and they make sure you’re safe the whole time. They bring you to all the best spots, and explain a lot of the history and culture behind Aruba. They even taught us some phrases in Papiamento, the language Aruban locals use. I can’t recommend Kini Kini enough, I had such a great time, thank you!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you had an amazing time with Gabriel and Nahym. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them, especially about Nahym's laugh! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on your next visit to Aruba!
