Action-Packed Half Day Aruba UTV Tour and Arashi Beach

Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Located in the center of the island, the Casibari Rock Formation is an exceptional spot to view a massive natural structure of diorite boulders. Exhibiting a unique view of the volcanic forces that created our beautiful Aruba, most of the boulders weigh several tons and feature peculiar forms. Aruba’s Indigenous Caquito people were attracted to the site thousands of years ago, leaving behind paintings on the rocks (known as pictographs) for us to view today. A path leads you to the top of these giant boulders from which you have a beautiful view of Aruba's landscape and often the coast of Venezuela for great pictures.

   15 minAdmission included

2. The Natural Bridge in Aruba, once a stunning geological formation, collapsed in 2005, but the site remains a popular attraction due to the nearby Baby Bridge and beautiful coastal views.

   15 minAdmission included

3. The first gold processing operation in the Caribbean was right here in Aruba at Bushiribana ca.1872. You can walk inside the ruins where they crushed the ore taken from the surrounding hills. Learn how manpower extracted the ore and donkey power hauled it to this gold mill. Today, the ruins consist of the remnants of the mill's stone walls, chimneys, and arches, which showcase 19th-century industrial architecture. Visitors can explore the site freely, walking through the ruins and climbing remnants of staircases for panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. Another great piece of Aruba history!

   15 minAdmission included

4. Alto Vista Chapel is the soul of Aruba and a definite must see. This charming little chapel is perched on a beautiful hill overlooking the scenic north coastline. Originally built in 1750 the Alto Vista Chapel was the first place of worship in Aruba. The Alto Vista hill was a spiritual place for the Caquito Indians for centuries before the Europeans came. A very deep and historical part of Aruba's culture.

   15 minAdmission included

5. The California Lighthouse, known by locals as Faro Blanco stands tall on a limestone plateau at Hudishibana, overlooking the Sasariwichi Dunes. This lighthouse was named for the steamship “California” which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891. Guests have an opportunity to get a panoramic view of the island while stretching their legs. Only if available, guests can pay an additional fee to an attendant to go into the lighthouse.

About Palm - Eagle Beach

Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are Aruba's two main beach strips, with high-rise resorts to the north and low-rise hotels along wider, calmer sand.

Palm Beach and Eagle Beach run in a line along Aruba's west coast, a short way north-west of Oranjestad, and between them they hold most of the island's resorts. Palm Beach is the livelier of the two, with tall hotels, water-sports stands, restaurants and casinos behind the sand. Eagle Beach is wider and calmer, backed by low-rise hotels and dotted with trees bent by the steady wind.
