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!

Gabriel was the best tour guide. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Aruba. He took time to tell us about everywhere we stopped. He took pictures of us so we didn't need to just take selfie. My husband and I rented a quad & I'm really not a quad rider, I got nervous. Gabriel let me ride with him in his UTV. It was neat because I got my own little history lesson. The things we saw were amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

We had an awesome time on this tour! We were met by Nahym by our cruise ship and the energy was positive and hilarious. The safety briefing was easy and clear instructions on how to operate an ATV even if you’re a beginner. My wife and I learned so much about Aruba and its desert landscape whilst having a blast on the ATV. 10/10 tour and 10/10 service from Nahym. We can’t wait to return!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you had such an awesome time and that Nahym made the experience fun and welcoming from the start. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the ATV ride and learned more about Aruba. We appreciate the 10/10 feedback and look forward to seeing you again!

Brook_R, Mar 2026
Awful! We booked the excursion online. The only options to book were under the age pull down menu 12-99 yrs old. So I selected that. After I paid $450 they then emailed and said all drivers must be over 18. I had a 15 year old. I emailed back with more the 48 hours notice and let them know I need to cancel and refund. No one responded. I emailed 3 times and called. No response. I would never use this service. It’s a bait and switch.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would like to clarify a few important points for future guests.
Our booking page clearly states that all drivers must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license. While the age selection may allow a broader range for passengers, the driver requirement is outlined in the tour details and terms prior to completing the reservation.
We also did not receive any direct phone call regarding this matter. Guests are always welcome to contact us immediately so we can assist in real time.
Additionally, your voucher includes a cancellation link that allows for a full refund when canceled within the specified timeframe. Unfortunately, the request was made on the day of the activity, which falls outside of our cancellation policy, and at that point it was no longer possible to issue a refund.
We always encourage guests to review the requirements carefully and reach out as soon as possible if anything is unclear—we’re here to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

This was the best ATV experience that I have ever had. Tour guide “Nahym Monte” is the best! Well worth the price. I would highly recommend this high energy off road experience.

Nahym and Gabriel were incredible tour guides! My family and I had such a great time sightseeing around the island with them. We did a mix of ATVs and UTVs and saw a ton of places on the tour. The guides had such a great energy and you could tell they absolutely love their island and their jobs! Group sizes were small as well- we saw other tours with 15+ UTVS, ours was maybe 7 and that made a huge difference in my opinion. If you’re looking for a way to see the island that’s a little more on the wild side this is absolutely the place for you!! You won’t regret it!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for the amazing review! 🌴 We’re so glad you and your family had such a great time with Nahym and Gabriel. We love keeping our groups small and the energy high! Hope to see you back in Aruba for another wild adventure soon!

What a fantastic experience! Seeing the north side of Aruba in an off-road vehicle is a MUST—gorgeous views of rocky, desert terrain right next to crashing waves and natural bridges. You can choose either an ATV (uncovered, 4-wheel, motorcycle-like maneuvering) or UTV (covered, jeep like, with car steering). ATV riders get face-covering helmets while UTV riders should wear scarves over their noses and mouths to block all the dust. We chose ATVs, and the guides (incredible Gabriel and Rahym) were so patient as they helped us figure them out. It took us at least an hour of riding before getting the hang of the steering and acceleration. Choose a UTV if you don’t want to go through that learning curve. Everyone rides as a group—in a line of vehicles— from the store, through the paved areas of the town. Once you hit the unpaved areas, the wonders begin. The sites are stunning. The guides will give you a history of the island, the climate, and rock formations—all with such great energy! This excursion was the absolute highlight of my Aruba trip

Be prepared to be in the sun the entire time. I booked for my boyfriend. He really enjoys things like this and this did not disappoint him. He loved that it was not an amateur level feel ride. We went over really rugged terrain and he liked that. We had beautiful views throughout the tour. Our guides were great. Naheem was full of energy from start to finish which was much needed since we did the early tour. Him and Pancho were a great pair. Word of advice: If you are riding on the back be prepared to be sore. The way my boyfriend was driving, I was hanging on for dear life and bouncing around like a rag doll. Great core exercise😆
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for the fun and detailed review! We’re so glad he loved the rugged terrain and that the tour lived up to the adventure. Nahym and Pancho will be thrilled to hear your kind words! We appreciate you sharing your experience!

We had a wonderful experience on our ATV tour. Our guides, Poncho and Nyhem, were extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and worked well as a team. Most importantly they kept us entertained from beginning to end. Poncho gives the old school uncle type vibes while leading the pack from the front. Nyhem, also known as "Rasta Man," is the fun cousin who keeps you laughing but is low the smartest guy you know. Their knowledge and love for their country was evident during all 4 stops. The ride itself was a challenging yet fun experience that allowed you to explore the dessert terrain and the city streets. We highly recommend this excursion.

Thank you for the amazing review! We’re so glad you had a wonderful ATV experience and that Pancho and Nyhym made it fun, entertaining, and memorable. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to ride with you again soon!

It was so amazing Naheem & Darrell was the absolute best. Naheem had us laughing the entire time and Darrell was so protective.
We had a ball, and we definitely will come back to Aruba. Kini Kini was a safe and enjoyable experience. It made us feel like family while enjoying our family.

ScottRobert_J, Jan 2026
Great tour. Having ATV experience is definitely a plus. We had someone on our tour with no experience which definitely slowed us down at the beginning. Nadeem was great. Knowledgeable and full of energy. It was definitely an ATV tour with some sightseeing. Off-roading was a lot of fun. We did take a dip at Shark’s Bay Beach which we had to ourselves. Don’t be turned off by your guide asking for good review and a tip. They will have earned it.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are happy you enjoyed the tour and hope to see you another time again :)

Thank you for the review! We truly appreciate this!

Rahiem and his partner made this experience very lively. They remembered most of our names and made sure the group felt comfortable. From the continuous jokes, barking for approval, all mixed in with important landmark facts. We stopped at 4 different places and they allowed us to enjoy each stop for about 15-20 mins. We felt safe and my husband enjoyed zooming through the desert and streets.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
