Aruba excursions: the wild north coast and the calm south
Aruba has two faces: calm white beaches on the south and west, and a rough, rocky north coast that you only reach on a bumpy track. These Aruba excursions show you both, with prices and reviews from Viator and GetYourGuide.

Natural Pool by jeep
Morning or afternoon4 to 8 hoursRock pool, caves and the wild coast
The Natural Pool is a ring of volcanic rock on the rugged north-east coast inside Arikok National Park. On most days the waves break on the outside while you swim in calm water inside. On rough days the waves wash over the rocks and swimming can be closed. The track there is rough, so jeep tours bring you, often with stops at caves and a beach.

UTV and ATV tours
Several start times3 to 4 hoursDriving the dirt tracks yourself
On a UTV tour you drive a small off-road buggy yourself, following a guide along the north coast. Stops usually include the old Bushiribana gold mill ruins, the remains of the Natural Bridge, which collapsed in 2005, and the California Lighthouse. UTVs are not allowed inside Arikok National Park, so UTV tours do not go to the Natural Pool.

Good to know before you book a Aruba excursion
What is the best excursion in Aruba?
Jeep safaris to the Natural Pool and UTV tours are the most reviewed Aruba excursions, each with thousands of reviews, followed by catamaran snorkel trips. If you want calm water instead of bumpy tracks, choose a snorkel cruise.
Can I drive to the Natural Pool myself?
Only with a real four-wheel-drive vehicle. Normal cars are not allowed past the park checkpoints, and you should ask your rental company whether its insurance covers the dirt tracks. Most visitors take a jeep tour, go on horseback or hike.
Which Aruba excursions suit cruise passengers?
Short trips of three to four hours fit best into a day in port: a snorkel cruise from Oranjestad, a UTV tour or a horseback ride. Check that pick-up is at the cruise terminal.
