This is a fun tour and my family loved it. We saw some incredibly beautiful scenery in the Airkok National Park. We went to the ruins as well as the lighthouse. JP & Alejandro were great guides and made it fun. Some takeaways: PURCHASE THE GOGGLES! You will be glad you did. Also, one section of the route is EXTREMELY rough terrain over pretty much all rock at a fast pace so be sure you are good with that! We loved seeing a different part of the island.

Ivo guided us on this amazing UTV journey! We stopped at numerous places for beautiful pictures and some education about Aruba. It was so interesting to see the landscape! The vehicles were clean and looked new. I would highly recommend this excursion. It was such a fun way to see the island.

A fun experience with my husband and friends. We did a 4 person UTV. The desert roads were very bumpy and harsh on the body. It was good to see the other side of the island. Jo-Jo did a great job leading us.
Debra_H, Feb 2026
This was absolutely fantastic and a day we will always cherish. Jojo was our guide and he is the best. His energy and positive attitude set the tone for an awesome adventure. Highly recommend!

I have been on 20 cruises and have done excursions on all of them and this was the most fun and well run excursion I’ve ever done! It’s not for everyone because it’s a little on the wild side, but it was so much fun! If I go back to Aruba. It’s the first place I’m going to go! JJ was our guide and he was terrific !!
John_K, Feb 2026

We were running late and they still made it work. They are top notch. The tour was amazing and a lot of fun! Gabriel and Iveo took care of us and we're fantastic tour guides. You will not be disappointed! Family owned business, so that makes it even better!

Good tour. Was a little chaotic and delayed upfront as earlier newer late and we were probably shorted a bit but it was enjoyable and the right amount of time

We had an amazing experience on the Wild Side UTV Tour: Explore the Northern Treasure in Aruba, and it was absolutely perfect for our family—even with two young children. Our tour guide, Alejandro, was outstanding. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt comfortable and safe the entire time, especially with the kids.
Alejandro was very informative and shared interesting facts about Aruba along the way, but he also kept the tour light, engaging, and genuinely fun. He was helpful at every stop, patient with our family’s pace, and clearly cared about making sure everyone had a great experience.

Clay was an excellent guide. He made the tour fun and was informative at our stops. He dropped us back at the pier after our tour, which I know he didn't have to do. Thanks Clay for a great day in Aruba.

Cley was awesome - we did some pretty serious off roading in the UTV’s and visited some awesome spots. The trip ended with a quick snorkel at a really nice beach. Highly recommend this one it won’t disappoint.
Jill_F, Nov 2025
JoJo and Ray were phenomenal tour guides — We had the BEST time with them — Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!!
Carra_S, Nov 2025
We had a fantastic time on the ATV tour. It was a great way to see the island and experience some fun and adventure. Alejandro was a great tour guide making sure everyone was comfortable driving, keeping us together, making us laugh and taking the best photos. Remember your sunglasses, the wind and dust is hard on the eyes.
Jeannie_L, Nov 2025
This UTV tour was amazing! The whole experience was so much fun from start to finish. The places we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the snorkeling was incredible — we even saw angelfish up close! Our tour guide, Jojo, was FANTASTIC. He was super friendly, personable, and made the whole tour extra fun with his energy and knowledge. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! 10/10 experience, I’m so happy I did this on my trip to Aruba.
Alicia_A, Nov 2025
It was amazing and Jo Jo was an amazing person and he made sure we were having a good time. We would come back
Sharyn_D, Nov 2025
A perfect day of UTV riding with our very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable tour guide, JP! He led us to the north end of the island where we made many stops, as he spoke of the rich history, and landmarks of this beautiful island. We also felt the strong reverence he has for his land, and it was palpable as he talked to us about her. JP told me he had been doing this job for many years, and can't imagine doing anything else. Not everyone has the opportunity to go to work everyday to do a job they love and believe in, where everyday is an adventure! He made this excursion tap into our natural curiosity and excitement to want to learn more about Aruba's wonderful heritage. This is all thanks to ABC Tours, and their phenomenal tour historian, JP!
I will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to have an exciting adventure where you'll learn a little something along the way!
