Overview
This is a six-hour UTV run operated by ABC Tours Aruba out of their base on Schotlandstraat 61 in Oranjestad. You drive your own UTV in a convoy behind a guide, bouncing along dirt and rock tracks through Arikok National Park toward Conchi, the Natural Pool, with a swim stop and several short sightseeing breaks along the way.
The route stacks up quickly. After check-in there is a brief stop at the Arikok entrance, then roughly 45 minutes at the Natural Pool, passing Wariruri Bay on the way. Bushiribana Ruins and Alto Vista Chapel each get about 15 minutes, and the tour finishes with half an hour at Tres Trapi before the drive back to the base.
It suits travellers who want an active, dusty, off-road day rather than a bus tour. You need a driver's licence, moderate fitness, and a tolerance for rough ground. It is not suitable for pregnant travellers, people with back problems or serious heart conditions, and it is not wheelchair accessible. Expect extra charges at check-in: US$25 per person for the national park and a US$50 insurance fee.

What To Expect From The Tour
A few practical points come up again and again in reviews, and they shape how much you enjoy the day.
- Bring goggles. The listing sells safety goggles rather than providing them, so plan for that before you arrive. One reviewer called goggles and a dust mask a must, saying sunglasses alone do not hold back the dust.
- Water shoes. One reviewer found the Natural Pool approach slippery over uneven rock and recommended water shoes for the swim stops.
- Pace and fitness. The listing asks for moderate physical fitness and a valid driver's licence. One reviewer felt rushed at the pool stop, so expect some variation depending on the group.
- Food and drink. Lunch is included on the morning departure only, and reviewers describe pizza and a cold drink at a local spot. Ice water is provided if you bring a reusable bottle to refill.
- Dust and terrain. The ride is genuinely rough, which most reviewers count as the fun part. Closed-toe shoes and casual clothes are the recommended dress code.
- Weather matters. Wind can close the Natural Pool to swimmers, as one reviewer experienced, and the operator may cancel for poor weather with a different date or a full refund offered. Check conditions on the day and have a backup plan.
Common issues. The add-ons at check-in surprise some travellers: the operator collects a per-person Arikok park charge on the day (check the park's own page for the current price) plus a mandatory US$50 insurance fee, both listed but easy to miss. One reviewer felt rushed at the pool. Wind can shut down swimming at the Natural Pool entirely. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers to run, and cancellations for weather or low numbers come with an offer of a different date or a refund.
Common Questions
What Is Included In The Price?
A professional local guide, lunch on the morning departure, snorkel equipment, and ice water for refilling a reusable bottle are included. A US$50 mandatory insurance fee is also listed as included in the tour price structure, but it is collected at check-in. Gratuities, safety goggles, and the Arikok National Park entrance fee are not included.
Is The National Park Entrance Fee Extra?
No. The park entrance is not part of the tour price; the operator collects a park charge at check-in, and the official adult day pass is USD 22.
Is Hotel Pickup Included?
Pickup is offered per the listing. The tour itself starts and ends at ABC Tours Aruba, Schotlandstraat 61, Oranjestad, so confirm the pickup arrangements for your location on the booking page before you go.
Can Children Or People With Limited Mobility Join?
The listing does not set a minimum age, but it requires moderate physical fitness and a driver's licence from anyone driving. It is not wheelchair accessible, and it is not recommended for pregnant travellers or people with back problems or serious heart conditions. Families have reviewed the tour positively, travelling with adult children.
What Is The Cancellation Policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window there is no refund and changes are not accepted. Weather cancellations come with a different date or a full refund, and if the minimum traveller count is not met you are offered a different date, a different experience, or a refund.
What Should I Bring?
A driver's licence, closed-toe shoes, water shoes for the rocky pools, goggles or wraparound eyewear for the dust, and a reusable water bottle. One reviewer also suggested a dust mask. Gratuities are optional and the park fee and insurance are paid at check-in.
