Overview
Seeing Aruba’s wild side on your own is difficult without the right vehicle or local knowledge. This full-day off-road safari solves that by taking you across the island in a rugged 4WD Land Cruiser to places most tours can’t reach, including Arikok National Park, the Natural Pool, and Baby Beach in one trip. Stop at key landmarks, swim and snorkel with gear provided, and enjoy a homemade BBQ lunch—all without worrying about routes, equipment, or logistics.
- A 4WD vehicle helps you reach spots that are otherwise inaccessible
- No need to pack or hire gear—all snorkeling equipment is provided for ease
- Enjoy a combination of guided tours and free time to explore independently
- Maximize your time in Aruba by visiting multiple natural highlights in just one day

Itinerary
Set out on a full-day off-road journey across Aruba that combines coastal highlights, desert landscapes, and remote natural sites. After meeting your guide and receiving a safety orientation, climb aboard an open-air 4WD vehicle built for rough terrain and head toward the wild side of the island.
Travel across the island’s northern and eastern coasts, passing through Arikok National Park and stopping at several of Aruba’s best-known landmarks along the way. Photo stops may include the California Lighthouse, the historic Gold Mill Ruins from Aruba’s gold-mining era, and the remains of the Natural Bridge on the northeast shore. As you continue through the national park’s rugged interior, break for a homemade barbecue lunch before heading deeper off-road.
Reach the Natural Pool, a secluded swimming area formed by volcanic rock and accessible only by 4WD. Use the provided snorkeling gear to explore the water, take photos, or relax and enjoy the dramatic coastal setting. From here, continue south to Baby Beach, a calm, crescent-shaped bay known for its shallow waters and excellent snorkeling. Spend free time swimming, unwinding on the sand, or spotting tropical fish.
On the return journey, make additional scenic and cultural stops such as the Alto Vista Chapel and the Anchor in Memory of All Seamen, before heading back.

Our tour and guides were amazing! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the entire island.
This was a long excursion but well worth the price and value. You get a unique view of the entire island, and spots you wouldn’t easily see for yourself renting a car. What made it especially memorable were our guides, Andrew, Luis, and Big Sexy. You can tell they love their jobs and have a passion for the island. Our driver and guide was Andrew, he was so personal and insightful. He explained the history and cultural of the island but made it fun. This a long excursion, 8+ hours but we literally saw the entire island (North, South, East and West). We started at the light house, did some off-roading to the chapel and to the natural bridge, and then headed to lunch. After lunch we headed to the national park, which beware is a very bumpy ride. The views were spectacular and it was helpful to know our driver knew the roads well (no need to fear Andrew is here!) we also got to go into one of the natural pools (note the water can be choppy here and there are many slick rocks). Then we got to explore the caves before heading over to baby beach. At Baby beach we got to snorkel, where Andrew showed us the best snorkeling spot (a brutal lazy river full of marine life). Easy to say we were exhausted by the end but well worth. Once again the tour was great, but our guides Andrew, Luis and Big Sexy made it excellent. They worked as a team, making sure the group was safe and having fun!

We had an amazing experience on the Island Ultimate Jeep Safari with ABC Tours Aruba! Andrew was an excellent guide; knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly engaging. We saw all of Aruba’s major highlights in one day, including snorkeling at Baby Beach and the Natural Pool. Andrew shared so much interesting history and kept us entertained and engaged throughout the entire tour. Highly recommend this experience, and if you can, ask for Andrew. You won’t be disappointed!
This excursion was amazing. This was my birthday trip to Aruba and I wanted an experience that was more than just beaches and shopping- I wanted to learn a little about the culture of this island too. Mission accomplished. The tour guides Rey and Curt knew their stuff. They were personable and made everyone in our group comfortable. They made every stop on the island a small history lesson and on the in betweens there was never a dull moment… especially when we took that rollercoaster ride through the national park. Even after spending literally all day with these guys they were willing to offer us some suggestions on how to spend the rest of our trip. I have no notes. ABC you have an amazing crew here in Aruba. I would def spend my day with Rey again!
A great way to see the whole island. Our guide Donny was great, very energetic and his love for Aruba showed.
Unfortunately, our experience with ABC Tours was negatively impacted by our tour guide, Curt, and by how management handled the situation afterward.
At the California Lighthouse, Curt told us that we could go inside and gave us about 10 minutes. However, he did not know how long it would actually take us to complete the lighthouse. Once inside, there was one way up and one way down, so we had to follow the designated route and could not simply turn around and leave when the 10 minutes were up. When we returned, Curt yelled at us to rush and clapped his hands at us.
I completely understand that tours have schedules, but there is a respectful and professional way to communicate with guests. We relied on our guide telling us we had enough time to go inside, so being yelled at and clapped at afterward felt disrespectful and humiliating. The interaction caused me significant emotional distress, and I was crying while traveling to our next stop.
Another concern was that the schedule provided by ABC Tours gave us less time at the stops than the timeframes advertised through Viator, which made the situation even more frustrating.
During lunch at ABC Tours, I reported what happened to management. Although I received an apology, I felt the response became defensive. While I was in the bathroom crying, management discussed the inconvenience of possibly having to find another driver for us. At a time when I was already extremely upset, this made me feel as though my distress was being treated as an inconvenience rather than a legitimate concern.
Afterward, Curt told us we could continue and finish the excursion, which we ultimately did. To be fair, the experience improved after the incident. However, completing the tour should not be interpreted as meaning we were satisfied or unaffected by what happened.
I later contacted Viator requesting a partial refund due to the emotional distress and negative impact on our experience. ABC Tours has continued to decline the refund because we completed the tour, even though we continued after the situation had already occurred and after discussing it with management.
At the end of the excursion, Curt asked other guests to leave reviews but did not ask us. I cannot say why, but given that we had already reported the incident, it stood out.
There were enjoyable parts of the excursion, and I want to acknowledge that. However, the shorter schedule compared with what was advertised, the way Curt treated us at the lighthouse, management’s response while I was crying, and the refusal of even a partial refund overshadowed the positive parts of the experience.
I believe requesting a partial refund was a reasonable attempt to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, based on how everything was handled, I cannot recommend this experience.
We had a great time. It’s a great way to experience all of the island. Our tour guide diamond Donnie was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun and just it was a great experience overall I would highly recommend.
This was one of the most exciting experiences of my Aruba trip! We visited several incredible locations, including the Natural Bridge, California Lighthouse, Bushiribana Ruins, Alto Vista Chapel, Fontein Cave, Natural Pool, and Baby Beach.
The off-road ride was an adventure in itself—lots of bouncing over the rough terrain, but that made it even more exciting and fun! Rey and Dave were outstanding guides. They were knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, I had a fabulous time and highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and adventurous way to explore Aruba!
ABC tours with Dave and Andrew were great! They are so much fun and were very informative about the island!
10 out of 10!
Fantastic tour around the island. Hit all 4 corners. Andrew was a phenomenal tour guide, really showing his knowledge and passion about Aruba.
Party of 10 - check in was easy and quick. Tour Guide "Jeep" was fantastic. Prepare for lots of bumps on the roads, high winds, music, laughter and heat! Highly recommend bathing suit attire and water shoes. Bring water and plenty of sunscreen. Excellent tour!
Rey & Dave were AMAZING!!! Very knowledgeable about the area and stuck to the schedule. We had the best time. Could not have seen near as much stuff by trying to do this on our own. They made the off road experience fun & exciting. Thank you guys!!!
Curt is the best tour guide. His enthusiasm, his energy, his music.. everything was absolutely amazing. With him the whole crew enjoyed the full experience. Overall we got to see so much as well! Definitely would recommend booking!
ABC tours was absolutely the best thing about our trip. We stopped and passed by so many different scenery and our tour guide Ken was the best. Very funny, knowledgeable, and made us feel very safe. I highly recommend booking this excursion and requesting for Ken. Trust me you will enjoy it so much as much as I did!!
Our Island Beach Safari was so much fun and very informative. We would not have visited so many sites and probably not have known so much background information had we decided to do this on our own. Our guide, Andrew, was funny, knowledgeable, helpful to us when we needed it, and concerned about safety both driving and exploring the attractions. We would love to do this tour again when we re-visit the beautiful island of Aruba.
Curt was a great guide. Super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this excursion for any first time travelers to Aruba. The lunch was really tasty as well!
Awesome experience, we had an incredible host, Rey. Trip took us all over the island. Great value for your money. Highly recommend.
This was a great full day experience and Ivo is the best guide. The day was action packed and had a little for everyone
We had Andrew as our tour guide, he was absolutely amazing. We got to see the entire island and more. He is full of knowledge and super friendly and made our full day perfect.
An excellent all day experience. Dave, Rey Sunshine & Jellybean were exceptional guides and hosts. This our third tine visiting Aruba and by far the best land based excursion we had ever done. We saw so many of the top spots. Laughed a ton with all our Landcruiser guests and learned quite a bit of Aruba history. The Grouper lunch was good size portions and very tasty. It's a full day, with wind in your hair, bumpy rides and dusty trails. And yes, I'd do it again in a heartbeat, with these three ABC characters!
Amazing experience from the pick up to the drop off. Curt our driver was the best! Our kids loved Baby Beach and Conchi Natural Pool.
Had so much fun on jeep excursion. Curt was our tour guide and was so knowledgeable about everything. He was also very funny and made the day. We had a great group of us and the day was a 10/10.
Our guide Andrew was amazing and very informative and helpful. We truly enjoyed the jeep adventure and all the great stops. I would highly recommend it.
Don’t hesitate to book this tour. It’s a little pricey but well worth it! The national park was a $25 extra fee for each adult, but one of our favorites parts of the tour. We travelled with 13 family members ages 7-73 and everyone had a blast! ABC tours are such a well run company. Our check in was seamless in spite of the crowd when we arrived. .Ken was such a great tour guide. He has a great sense of humor and made our day so much fun from start to finish!
You get to see the island in one excursion. The itinerary is jam packed. All the stops are interesting. Baby Beach and Conchi are a lot of fun. The lunch at Waka Waka was delicious. The tour guides, Captain Donny and Dave, were great. They are fun, helpful, and very informative. Overall, a great experience.
We had a great experience!! Highly recommend it. So much fun.!! We had Mr. Tiny and Mr. Mark as our tour guides and we truly loved them. They had a lot of knowledge and they made our tour more fun. You could tell they loved their jobs. Mark was very helpful to us if we needed to get through some rocky areas. Tiny was always making our adventure more bumpy as he drove us through the National Park.
We had a fantastic day out on this full day tour of the island. The team of Big Sexy, Tiny, Joshua & Kurt all looked after the group of 4 cars in a convoy. Don't forget that this is off road so expect some bumpy terrain. They assisted all the guests at each of sites and especially navigating the rocky area into the Natural (Conchi) Pool. If you come to Aruba, be sure to put this tour on your list of must do's.
Andrew from ABC Tours was an amazing tour guide. He’s extremely knowledgeable in the history of Aruba and he made the trip worth over penny. Our group had 9 adults and 2 children. Every aspect of the tour was great. I highly recommend using this company-ABC Tours for this full day excursion.
It was a fun trip. Got to see the highlights of the island and it was easier doing it this way vs trying to do it on your own(especially without an off road vehicle. lol). Curt did a great job for our group. Only suggestion would be to provide some refreshments on the ride back to the hotel after the last stop at baby beach. An Aruba Aribi.would have been great! Would definitely recommend this trip to others.
The best tour ever! Big Sexy and Marc were hilarious, informative, and connected with every member of the group - they were a real dynamic duo! The tour was high energy, lunch was amazing, and the roads were the bumpiest ever! We did the 8-hour tour and it was the highlight of our vacation. The only regret that I had was not scheduling it earlier in our trip!
Felt taken cared of throughout this whole excursion by all of the crew (Kiki, Josh and Chris). Not only did they skillfully tackle the crazy bumpy terrain, played lifeguard when we hopped into Natural Pool, continued their touring experience underwater near Baby beach they also surprised us and dropped off at our airbnb at the end of it all. This excursion had a little bit of everything and both my husband and I would highly recommend it!
Our whole family had such a blast on this Ultimate Jeep Tour with Curt our tour guide. He was the BEST- funny, engaging, attentive, a bit wild ;) (but safe), and all around great guy. It was a FULL day and I felt we got to see pretty much the entire island and all the different landscapes and natural wonders. We had already done an ATV tour a couple days before this so I was a little unsure if some of it would be repeat and thus not as interesting for my family of 5 (adults and teen kids). But Curt got us to some of the sites earlier than any other tour group (like the Gold mine ruins) and so we got to experience it differently without the crowds and tourists. It was phenomenal. Warning: The ride is like a roller coaster at times and to say it was bumpy is a huge understatement, so definitely not for those with back issues, but our family thoroughly enjoyed it. Curt gave us the ride of our life with lots of bumps and sharp turns, but we felt safe the whole time. Highlights of the trip were- swimming in the Natural Pool, seeing the Fontein Cave with native drawings, and snorkeling at Baby Beach at the end of our trip. We saw some large colorful fish during the snorkeling time and that was a sight to see.
Lunch was served by Jellybean and her team and they did a phenomenal job attending to us and feeding us well midday. We enjoyed every minute of this trip and while a whole 8 hour day seems long, it was worth the cost and having a tour guide who also can navigate the rough terrain well. I cannot imagine driving ourselves in the national parks. So glad we chose ABC tours to experience it all. Highly recommend and they are a well-oiled machine with great customer service.
