Off-road to the wild north coast
A jeep or UTV tour is one of the most popular ways to discover the rugged side of Aruba. Tours follow dirt roads along the north coast and through Arikok National Park.
Typical stops are the Natural Pool, the Bushiribana gold mill ruins, the remains of the Natural Bridge, the California Lighthouse and the Alto Vista Chapel. The Natural Pool can only be reached by real 4x4 vehicles.
