How To Do Self-Guided ATV Excursions in Aruba

aruba utv tour map

If you read our one-week guide to Aruba , you know that day two is your action-packed ATV tour of the Island! We would recommend taking an off-road adventure to anyone visiting, whether you do it with a tour or self-guided. If you’re looking to do self-guided ATV excursions in Aruba – we highly recommend you follow our guide. Take your time where you want to, skip the parts that really aren’t as impressive, and maybe avoid the tidal waves of mud we ran into…?

The perks of doing it yourself are especially beneficial for photographers . First things first – doing self-paced excursions in Aruba allows for a non-strenuous day. You don’t have to worry about your equipment while on your tour. The second thing we loved about doing our own tour was having plenty of time to see the whole island. During our 7-hour rental period, we got in some great shots!

**Remember that Aruba is a tiny island. Only 70 square miles, you won’t even have to fill up on gas to see all the sights on our list!!

Know Before You Get to Aruba: Language : Aruba and its neighboring island Curacao are actually owned by the Netherlands, (a tiny country in Europe). Dutch and the native Papiamento are the official languages but English is widely spoken. Currency: Aruban Florin: but as we were told ‘Cash is king’ and most places wanted and accepted $$ US Dollars. Best Time To Visit Aruba: The weather is pleasant year-round and the water stays around 78 degrees Farenheight, perfect for swimming! Closest Airport: Beatrix International Best Hotels: Hotel Riu , Divi Golf & Beach Resort Aruba Drinking-Water: Aruba’s tap water is drinkable!!

How To Rent An ATV/UTV in Aruba

First things first: If you don’t live in the Southern USA – you might not have grown up driving one of these bad boys and we respect that. (We, of the South, call them four-wheelers or buggies.. and we’ve been driving them from birth!!) Driving an ATV or UTV is really easy so no need to worry. You’ll get a little tutorial when you rent the vehicle, and figure it out as you go.

You might see that some countries require an international driver’s license like we thought before heading to Italy. When we got to Italy we were only required to have a valid driver’s license, and a credit card for the rental company to put a damage deposit hold on. Whether it’s Vespas in Italy or ATV excursions in Aruba, the rules are all pretty much the same.

To rent an ATV without a tour guide in Aruba, you need a valid driver’s license and a credit card for a damage deposit.

If you Google “ATV rentals in Aruba…” – you’ll find plenty of options. We recommend calling ahead to make sure they have availability for the day you want to go and watch the weather. Driving an ATV is incredibly fun, but after getting stuck in a crazy rainstorm, we know how important it is to check the weather!

We look back and laugh now – but it was terrible at the time. Cold wet rain from a near-tropical Caribbean storm pelted our legs, faces, and bodies!!

Your ATV Island Tour Itinerary

If you’re trying to determine how long you should plan to be gone for the day – make sure your rental covers full 6-8 hours. Regardless of whether you’re a photographer or an avid explorer – you’re going to want to take your time!! We started at around 9 in the morning and came back at around 4 (so we were gone around 7 hours.)

Most rental companies will want you to be back by around 5 so make sure to give yourself some cushion!! Are you ready to see private beaches, ruins, hidden coves, and centuries-old cave drawings?!

Tres Trapi Beach in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

1st Stop on Your Itinerary: Tres Trapi

Once you’ve grabbed breakfast from your resort and picked up you ATV – head to your first stop!! No ATV tour of Aruba would be complete without making a stop at one of our favorite hidden beaches on the island – Tres Trapi Beach.

Meaning ‘Three Steps’ – you’ll climb down three rocky steps into one of the most serene and private coves on the island. Spend a few minutes getting in a refreshing morning dip before heading on to your next destination!

**Many times when you book ATV excursions in Aruba they don’t take you here so that you don’t disturb the neighborhood with many ATVs zipping through a neighborhood. Doing it yourself gives you the opportunity to see little gems like this!!

Get our Full Guide To Finding Tres Trapi Here

Westpint in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.2 Boca (Westpunt)

This rocky northern tip of the island is a great place to take in a sea spray rainbow. Not a swimming destination – this quiet corner of the island is accessible by a dirt road leading away from the California Lighthouse.

We loved the views of the waves crashing against the volcanic rock cliffs. We recommend going during the day. That early morning sun will allow you to see the rainbow that you won’t see during sunset!!

  • How To Get To Westpunt/Boca: from Tres Trapi, drive your four-wheeler North on L.G. Smith Boulevard past the California Lighthouse. From this point, you’ll be offroad driving until you reach the sea!

You won’t spend a ton of time here – but it’s a great photography destination that no one else will be around. You’ll also get great views of the Arashi Dunes ! Located on the same northern tip of the island in Arasji – you only need a short 10 minute ATV ride to reach the dunes from the beach. With mounds covered in tiny cactus-like plants, you can’t ride the ATV through the dunes but they’re fun to walk around!!

TIP: You’ll definitely need to wear your sturdier shoes for this excursion. The rocks are sharp and there isn’t any sand.

The california lighthouse - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.3 The California Lighthouse

When you’re on your ATV excursion in Aruba, no trip will be complete without exploring Aruba’s famous California lighthouse! With 360-degree views from the top of this white-washed, green-domed lighthouse – it’s a can’t miss experience.

  • How To Find the California Lighthouse: Located in ‘Hudishibana’ on Aruba’s most northwestern cape, after visiting Westpunt Beach and the Arashi Dunes, head back towards L.G. Smith Boulevard. Before continuing towards the Eastern shore of the island, you’ll take the boulevard towards the California lighthouse. You can’t get lost! There is literally nothing else near this spot on the island.

Cost: Visiting the lighthouse is free – but climbing to the top is $5. (Visiting the lighthouse is one of our favorite budget-friendly excursions in Aruba!!)

At eight stories high, visitors can see all the way from Malmok Beach to Eagle Beach on the Western side of the island. When looking East, try to spot the Tierra Del Sol Golf Course or the Alta Vista Chapel. If you’re on a romantic trip – we highly recommend climbing to the top!!

Grab a coconut on a snack break in ARuba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

Take A Coconut Water Snack Break!

Before heading to your next destination – grab a coconut! Located around the lighthouse – you’ll see vendors selling street food and coconut water.

We chose to stop here and watch as a vendor expertly hacked off the top of a coconut and inserted a dainty straw for us to sip on. Enjoy one of the island’s easiest snacks!

Aruba’s Flora and Fauna On your stop – take a moment to notice the Mondis. (Large forests of cacti!) Amongst the cacti, you’ll see large yellow blooms protruding from their thorny buds throughout the year. Other flowers you’ll see are the large purple and white blooms of Magdalena flowers, hibiscus, and wild orchids!

The Alto Vista Chapel in ARuba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.4 The Alto Vista Chapel

Built-in 1953, visiting the Alto Vista Chapel is widely regarded as one of the best things to do in Aruba.

  • How To Get To Alto Vista Chapel: If you’re riding an ATV, taking the scenic route along the Eastern Aruban coast is the best way to get to Alto Vista Chapel. When you leave the lighthouse, take a right (away from the resort side of the island) and head towards the coast. Drive your ATV past the Tierra del Sol Golf Course, and continue along the costal road past the colorful beach house at Ranchero Curason. After another few minutes along dusty Alto Vista road – you’ll reach the chapel!

This tiny sunbleached yellow chapel stands at the site of the original chapel built in 1750. Venezuelan missionary, Domingo Silvestre was the first to convert the indigenous people to Christianity, after choosing this legendary spot with sweeping views of the sea.

** If you’re Catholic and would like to attend Mass- there are still weekly services held at the Alto Vista Chapel.

Tierra Del Sol Golf Course in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.5 Lunch at Tierra Del Sol Golf Course

Getting lunch at the golf course might sound silly – but we promise it’s worth the little 7-minute backtrack! We didn’t recommend heading here until after you’ve visited the Alto Vista Chapel because you may not have been hungry yet. Trust us when we say – you want to have an appetite for lunch at Tierra del Sol.

  • How To Get To Tierra del Sol Golf Course: From Alto Vista Chapel, head west away from the coast on Alto Vista road. You’ll come to a neighborhood, but if you stay on the main road you’ll run into Rte 2/Caya Frans Figaroa. Take a right and head north. Only a 5-6 minute drive, you’ll stay on Rte 2 until you see signs for the Tierra del Sol Golf Course. Take a right on Caya di Solo and you’re there!

We mentioned in our Aruban 7-Day Itinerary that Aruba is where Shelb’s love for beef carpaccio was born – and the golf course has an excellent take on this dish!

***When you get to our packing list for the day – stopping here is why we included a nicer coverup for your ATV excursions in Aruba. You’ll want to put on something a little nicer!

Bushiriba Gold Mill Ruins - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.6 Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins in Noord, Aruba

The next stop on your list is another one of the best things to do in Aruba. You can climb all over the Bushiribana ruins with views of the Eastern coast of Aruba for miles.

Designated as a National Historical Cultural Site for the Aruban people – it’s one of the few ruins we’ve been to around the world you can touch! Just remember to please be respectful.

Explorers looking for gold starting searching Aruba for this famed yellow treasure as early as the 15th and 16th centuries. After the first gold was discovered in 1892, the island produced 3 million pounds of gold. Operations soon ceased when the gold was depleted, but there are still two mills and one mining site left on the island.

  • How To Find the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins: From the Tierra del Sol Golf Course it’s a 24 minute drive. Take Rte 2 south towards Oranjestad for about 5 km, then take a left of Rte 3. Rt3 will eventually turn into Rte 6, and you’ll be on this road for 8.7 km (13 minutes.) You’ll be heading towards Matividiri and there will be signs for this little hamlet. From Rte 6, take the road called Matividiri to the Bushiribana Ruin. (There will be signs!)

If you have time – visit the Aruba Ostrich Farm only 2 minutes from the ruins!! Great for kids and families, stretch your legs on a guided tour while you feed ostrich!! $14 Adults | $7 Children

New Natural Pool in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

Bonus Destination: New Natural Pool

Only steps away from the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins lays a secret cove that most people miss!

Climb down a wooden ladder into this stunning lagoon carved out of limestone along the shore. This is part of your day’s adventures we highly recommend having water shoes in your backpack!! Jump from the rocky cliffs along the edge of the pool and enjoy a refreshing break!

Psttttt.. Not Up For A Do-It-Yourself Tour!?

Here are a few great tours we recommend to hit many of these sites. You may not have this full experience but you’ll still get a great feel of the island!

If you’re taking a guided tour of the island – your tours often take you to the Bushiribana Ruins, the New Natural Pool, and Arikok National Park.

Baby Bridge in ARuba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.7 Natural Bridge

You may have seen photos of Natural Bridge in Aruba, and it’s stunning right? Unfortunately, it collapsed in 2004 but remains one of the most photographed parts of the island. Like our home state of Kentucky – thousands of years of water and erosion on beds of limestone hollow out the rocks leaving behind these gorgeous limestone arches.

  • How To Find Natural Bridge: On Aruba’s Eastern coast, about 7 minutes south of the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins is where you’ll find these arches. Head South from the ruins until you hit Matividiri Road. Take a left and drive for about 2.2 km. The arches will be on your left along the coast.

While Natural Bridge fell in 2004, Baby Bridge nearby remains standing and you can walk across the top – or explore the bottom when the tide is low.

P.S. If you’re starting to feel a bit snacky – grab a snack at the cunucu house nearby!!

How to find Conchi natural pool in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.8 Conchi (Natural Pool)

Undoubtedly one of the most famous and well-traveled spots in Aruba is Conchi – Natural Pool.

Encircled by black volcanic rock, this dramatic pool on the coast is one of our favorite photography destinations in Aruba. Located inside Arikok National Park, visitors can only access the pool by ATV, horseback tours, or hiking.

When you get to the Natural Pool, you can expect it to be very slick getting in and out of the water. Again we remind you to bring your water shoes! As for what to expect in the pool, there are fish circling through the sparkly emerald waters and the ocean sprays you as it crashes on the large rock formation around the pool. You can’t miss it on your trip!!

How to find conchi natural pool in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

How To Get To Conchi Natural Pool in Aruba

Drive time from the entrance of Arikok National Park is about 45 minutes to Conchi Natural Pool and back. Keep that in mind when you’re planning out how long you’ll spend at each destination! This stop will take you around 2 hours.

How To Get To Conchi Natural Pool by Driving:

  • The first thing you need to do is head to the park’s San Fuego Entrance and pay the $11 entrance fee. You’ll be given a map and wristbands, at which point you can start heading towards Conchi Natural Pool.
  • Head north on the gravel road leading away from the park’s entrance and look for signs for the Sero Arikok Volcano (#14 on the map).
  • Continue on the gravel road past the volcano until you see a dirt path with a ‘4×4’s Vehicles Only’ sign.

This is where your journey will become more difficult – but doable.

The gravel road will end, and a dirt path will take you on the rest of your journey. Continue slowly on this rocky unstable road until you reach Conchi Natural Pool (#3 on the map) . Go as slow as your need to!!

  • How To Get To Conchi Natural Pool by Hiking: If you’re uncomfortable with the idea of driving all the way to Conchi Natural Pool, you can also get there by hiking. At the same trailhead Sero Arikok Volcano where you would start the 4×4 only dirt path, start your hike at a trial to the right. (This will save you time from having to hike from the visitors center!!) The hike to Conchi Natural Pool from this trailhead is 2.5 miles/4 kms. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and pack water!

Regardless of whether you hike or drive all the way to the pool – you’ll need to walk down 3 flights of stairs to get to the pool. (If you drove the ATV – make sure you throw your ATV keys in a dry bag and take it down to the pool with you!)

Guadirikiri Cave in ARuba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

No.9 Fontein Cave & Guadirikiri Cave

On a hot day – this last stop of your Aruba ATV excursion will be a cool reprieve from the island heat. Located close together in Arikok National Park are two of Aruba’s most unexplored treasures: the Fontein Cave and Guadirikiri Caves.

  • Guadirikiri Cave is the most well-known cave for its illuminated photos from the hole in the ceiling inside the 100-foot chamber. Definitely a photographer’s dream destination!! This two part chamber can be explored in about 10 minutes.

The Fontein Caves in Aruba - aruba excursions, UTV rental Aruba, ATV Rental Aruba, Aruba ATV Tours, Excursions in ARuba

  • Fontein Cave is for history lovers! When you get here – park rangers will give you guided explanations of the cave drawing by the Arawak Indians. They were originally Venezuelan indigenous peoples and became the first explorers of the island. Settling in 2500-1000 BC, they lived on this island until it was discovered by Spanish settlers in 1499!

P.S. If you’re looking for more inspiration to explore ancient native ruins and drawings, check out our guide to Arizona’s Native American Ruins!!

After you’ve explored the caves – it’s time to head back!! We hope you got to see everything on this bucket list and had an amazing day!

Need A Dinner Recommendation?

After exploring all day on your Aruba ATV tour – you’ll probably want something more low-key. We recommend grabbing fruity cocktails and tacos at Lola Taqueria !

Voted as one of the best restaurants in Aruba and winning a 2021 Traveler’s Choice Award from TripAdvisor – this trendy little restaurant is a must-try!

P.S. – If you’re not ready for the night to be over – try their sister bar ‘Craft’ for handcrafted cocktails!

How To Map Out Your ATV Excursion in ARuba

You can do a couple of things to map out your excursion and make the most of your ATV rental in Aruba.

  • #1 – Download the maps.Me app and add all of these locations to your offline maps.

P.S. If you want to come back to the lighthouse near sunset – you might even see the elusive green flash! Right before the sun sets below the blue of the Caribbean, for a second or two the upper edge of the sun will appear as a green mirage.

  • #2 – Save this post for extra guidance! Maps and directions are great – but sometimes you just need that extra hint to keep you going in the right direction.

What To Bring While You Explore Aruba

Considering that Aruba is incredibly rocky, sandy and a beach environment, pack what you need to be comfortable for the day. As with any excursions while on a beach trip, excursions in Aruba include hot tropical weather. Make sure you stay well hydrated and bring a reusable water bottle!! Other than staying hydrated – here is a list of our must-haves for the day:

Get our full beach packing list for any beach trip here!

  • Water Shoes
  • A Nicer Coverup – For lunch at the golf course.
  • Phones & Extra Chargers
  • Tech – Cameras, Lenses
  • Dry Bag – Especially around Conchi Natural Pool where the ocean spray goes pretty far up the beach!
  • Dry Clothes – You’ll proboably want something a little warmer as the sun goes down on this desert island!

A self guided ATV sounds like a great way to explore Aruba. We did a tour and were constrained by the tour timelines. We would love to use the ATV to visit one or more of the great beaches. And especially to find that secret cove!

' src=

Looks like so much fun!

' src=

Wow! So many beautiful spots to visit! Thank you for the great guide!

' src=

I’ve only ever seen people talk about Aruba in terms of beaches/sitting on beaches, which totally isn’t my thing. I’m actually super interested in going to Aruba after reading tis and seeing all the beautiful places you got to visit and take photos of! I am glad I saw this post:)

' src=

I would not have considered doing this kind of tour without a guide, but I see what you mean, it looks like you have an amazing (and non-stressful) time by organizing it all yourself. I love the spots you picked out too- such a good mix of gorgeous scenery, beaches and pools.

' src=

This is such a great guide! I love the California Lighthouse. So beautiful!

' src=

Magan Greeson

Could this also be done/modified for a jeep?

' src=

Hey there! I think everywhere we went you could also access with a jeep! However – I would confirm with the state park that you’re allowed to off-road in a larger vehicle. That’s the only place I could think you might have some troubles!

' src=

Did I miss the company you recommend renting the ATV from in Aruba? I love the idea of the self guided tour! How fast (mph) do ATV’s go? I am traveling with my 2 boys (20/18) and if I get to see sites – they need speed Thank you for sharing

There are a ton of different companies on the island that do it. We ended up being taken there by our Airbnb host and she basically got us set up. Pretty much any ATV rental place you can do the tour from! There are posted speed limits and the ATVs go as fast as those go! 🙂

Aruba: Self-Guided UTV Island Tour

aruba utv tour map

Located just 18 miles off of the Venezuelan coast, Aruba (also known as “One Happy Island”) is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It makes up 1/3 of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao) and at around 75 square miles it’s also the smallest of the three islands. While that is all very intriguing, one of the facts that people find most surprising about Aruba is that it is a desert island! Yes… You heard that right. A desert island. For that reason, we highly recommend taking some time on your visit to explore the interesting and unique landscapes that Aruba offers, and what better way to do that than on a self-guided UTV tour?? Yes, you can opt for a guided tour from many of the more than qualified tour operators, but we love being on our own schedule and stopping whenever and wherever we want. So, if you're like us and like to take adventure into your own hands, then you’re in the right place! In this blog, we’ve put together what we think are 8 of the best stops (from north to south) for a self-guided UTV island tour. While this itinerary can be achieved with a half-day (4-hr) rental you would really be pushing it to fit everything in (like we were lol), so we recommend a full-day (8-hr) rental to get the most out of the experience. That said, some of these will be quick 10-15 minute stops while others could take 45 minutes or more (mostly the “Secret Pool”), so plan accordingly… Especially if you opt for a half-day rental.

Note: If you are looking for a reputable company to book your rental through, we highly recommend Arubiana . We have no affiliation with them, we just had a great experience and felt they were fair and honest. Plus, they have an excellent app for Apple and Android with helpful information on all of these stops and more! So, even if you don’t book your UTV through Arubiana, we recommend purchasing the app for your tour.

If a self-guided tour sounds overwhelming, then check out this guided tour from GetYourGuide !

Be sure to check out our “Adventure Day in Aruba” vlog for a closer look at our self-guided UTV tour along with a snorkeling catamaran cruise!

aruba utv tour map

1. California Lighthouse (JW7X+GF Noord, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 15-30 mins

Cost: Free or $5 if you want to go to the top of the lighthouse

Quite possibly Aruba’s most famous scenic landmark, the California Lighthouse was named after the S.S. California which sank previous to the lighthouse’s construction in 1910. Perched on a hill on the northwestern tip of the island, the lighthouse offers incredible views of the island's western coastline. At the time of writing this (December 2022) Lighthouse tours are offered daily from 9am-7pm for $5/person which allows visitors to go to the top of the lighthouse for 360° views.

Pro-Tip: Don’t miss Yum Yum’s Place (AKA The Smoothie Bus) while you’re there! They have a variety of snacks and delicious fresh coconut and fruit smoothies as well as milkshakes and iced coffee!

aruba utv tour map

2. Alto Vista Chapel (HXGQ+9JC, Noord, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 10-15 mins

The present Chapel of Alto Vista was completed in 1952 and stands in the same location as the original chapel, which was built in 1750, making it the oldest church in Aruba. Although the chapel is quite small at only 50’x16’ this "Pilgrims Church" as it’s called is worth a visit.

aruba utv tour map

3. Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins (H23F+C9F, Noord, Aruba)

Constructed in 1872 by the London-based Aruba Island Gold Mining Company the Bushiribana Gold Mill closed its doors for good in 1899. Having been vacant for 120+ years now, the only structure that has withstood the harsh elements of the island is the natural stone walls. Visitors to the site nowadays can walk freely throughout the abandoned structure and carefully climb the remains of a staircase on the mill’s southern wall to enjoy beautiful, sweeping views of the Caribbean.

aruba utv tour map

4. Cave Pool Aruba AKA Secret Pool (H22G+W4 Santa Cruz, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 45-75 mins

This (not-so) secret pool is located just south of the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins. In fact, you can see the tour groups parking near the entrance to the pool from the ruins. And when I say “entrance”, I mean a rickety wooden ladder that you’ll have to climb down to access the pool. The “entrance”/ladder is easy to miss, especially if there are no other vehicles parked at the top, so be careful not to miss it! It’s also worth noting that this is the only pool accessible by UTV since Arikok National Park banned ATVs and UTVs in June of 2020. The more popular Conchi Natural Pool is inside the national park boundaries and is only accessible by foot (at least a 2-mile round trip hike depending on where you start from) or 4x4 (no ATVs or UTV’s). The Conchi Natural Pool also comes with an $11/person national park entrance fee while the Cave Pool is free to enjoy. And while it is “secret” it can get quite busy as many of the guided tours make stops here, but with a little patience and time, it’s not unusual to have the entire pool to yourself for a little while between tour groups. That’s one of the benefits of being on a self-guided tour!

aruba utv tour map

5. The Natural Bridge (G2RR+9Q Santa Cruz, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 15-20 mins

There was a time when the Natural Bridge was a must-see on the island, but the original, famous natural bridge collapsed in 2005 leaving only a smaller bridge called “Baby Bridge”. And while seeing “Baby Bridge” is pretty cool, this site is not nearly as impressive as it once was. Nonetheless, it is a good stop for a snack and/or bathroom break… Although either one will cost you at least $1.

aruba utv tour map

6. Ayo Rocks Formation (G2JH+GP Santa Cruz, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 30-45 mins

These monolithic rock boulders are a unique site for an otherwise flat and sandy landscape. The Arawak people (the earliest settlers on the island) used to visit the Ayo Rock Formations so that they could hear incoming thunderstorms closing in on the island. To this day, you can still find their carved paintings in rocks (petroglyphs) dating back thousands of years.

aruba utv tour map

7. Mangel Halto (F27J+V97, Savaneta, Aruba) 30-45

This secluded beach is popular with locals and tourists as it is a perfect sunning and snorkeling spot with calm, shallow waters that are rich in sea life due to the impressive network of mangroves. And while it is beautiful and offers the fairer-skinned visitors a break from the sun with the shade cast by the mangroves, the thick vegetation also attracts more bugs than many other areas, so if you do plan to make a visit to Mangel Halto, be sure to pack some bug spray!

aruba utv tour map

8. The famous Fofoti Trees at Eagle Beach (HW3V+RX7, Noord, Aruba)

Recommended Time: 30-60 mins

These famous Fofoti trees which are often mistaken for Divi Divi trees (an honest mistake… we did it! Lol) are an Aruban icon and 2 of the most famous ones can be found on one of the island's most beautiful beaches, Eagle Beach. Once you’ve gotten your photos of the beautiful trees, take some time to enjoy the beauty of Eagle Beach. That is if you have enough time left on your UTV rental!

Off-road Aruba: UTV Tours & ATV Tours

Off road in Aruba

With so much to see and do in Aruba, one of the most popular ways to explore is via an off-road tour or rental. In fact, you can choose from a wide range of ATV tours, UTV tours, ATV rentals, and UTV rentals. Aruba has many amazing options for those looking for adventure on land and in the water!

With such a good road network in Aruba, you might be wondering why off-road vehicles are so popular? Well, they allow you to get off-road to discover the island’s natural beauty and go beyond just the traditional tourist attractions.

With an ATV or UTV in Aruba, you’ll gain access to scenic spots, natural landmarks, and off-the-beaten-path locations that can be challenging to access with conventional vehicles. This includes places like Arikok National Park, which covers about 20% of the island, featuring desert-like terrain, caves, and coastline.

Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about tours and ATV and UTV rentals in Aruba.

Disclosure:  Some of the links below may be affiliate links. At no additional cost to you, we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase.

Why Off-Road in Aruba

Off-roading in Aruba is one of the best things to do on the island . It offers an adventurous way to explore, giving you the opportunity to visit natural wonders and less accessible areas. Not sure if off-roading in Aruba is for you? Here are some reasons why you won’t want to miss it.

  • Explore Arikok National Park: Aruba’s Arikok National Park covers almost 20% of the island. It offers a variety of landscapes, including rugged terrain, rocky coasts, and desert-like areas. Off-road vehicles are one of the best ways to explore this national park’s tough terrain.
  • Swim at Natural Pool: Off-road tours in Aruba often include a visit to the Natural Pool, a picturesque and secluded swimming spot formed by volcanic rock along the coastline. This hidden gem is surrounded by rough terrain which makes ATVs and UTVs the perfect mode of transportation to reach it.
  • Discover Hidden Gems: Get off-the-beaten-path to locations that can not be easily reached by conventional vehicles. This makes it one of the only ways to enjoy panoramic views, unique rock formations, and other scenic attractions that showcase the natural beauty of Aruba.
  • Get Your Adrenaline Pumping: Aruba UTV tours add an element of excitement and adventure to the exploring the island. Navigating through bumpy and challenging terrains can be thrilling for those seeking a more adrenaline-fueled experience.
  • Visit Cultural and Historical Stops: ATV rentals in Aruba allow you to visit cultural and historical sites that you may not visit otherwise. This may include stops to old gold mines, caves with indigenous art, or other points of interest around the island.

It’s important to note that while off-road island tours in Aruba can be an exciting way to experience the island, it’s essential to choose a reputable tour operator that prioritizes safety and adheres to environmental conservation practices to minimize the impact on the island’s delicate ecosystems.

ATV vs. UTV in Aruba

While often used interchangeably, ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) and UTVs (Utility Task Vehicles) are actually two different types of off-road vehicles used for outdoor activities. To help you decide what type of Aruba off-road tour or rental you want, let’s learn a bit more about each of them and how they differ.

ATV: All-Terrain Vehicle

  • Design: ATVs typically have a straddle-style seat and handlebars for steering, much like a motorcycle. They are designed for a single rider or, in some cases, may have a tandem seat for a passenger.
  • Use: ATVs are generally more agile and maneuverable. This makes them suitable for activities such as trail riding, racing, and navigating through narrow or rough terrain.
  • Stability: Due to their single-rider design, ATVs may be more prone to tipping over, especially during sharp turns or on uneven terrain. Proper rider technique and safety precautions are crucial when operating an ATV.
  • Power: ATVs are generally smaller and have a lighter build. They come with a variety of engine sizes, ranging from smaller engines for recreational use to larger, more powerful engines for racing.
  • Terrain: ATVs are well-suited for tackling a variety of terrains, including wooded trails, sand dunes, and rocky landscapes.

UTV: Utility Task Vehicle

  • Design: UTVs are designed with a side-by-side seating arrangement, allowing for a driver and one or more passengers to sit next to each other, like in a car. They also can have a backseat to allow for additional passengers.
  • Use: UTVs are often larger and built for utility tasks. They are commonly used for hauling cargo, carrying equipment, and performing work on farms, construction sites, or other industrial applications.
  • Stability: UTVs typically have a lower center of gravity and a wider wheelbase, providing increased stability. This makes them a safer option for tasks that involve carrying heavy loads or navigating uneven terrain.
  • Power: UTVs are larger and have a more robust structure to accommodate additional passengers and cargo. They often come equipped with more powerful engines suitable for heavy-duty tasks.
  • Terrain: UTVs are designed to handle rough terrain as well, but their larger size and utility focus make them better equipped for hauling, towing, and working in challenging environments.

Around Aruba, you’ll find both ATVs and UTVs are common. This means it is really up to you whether you want to drive or ride an ATV or UTV. Similarly, you can choose from joining a guided tour, where you will follow a guide around the island in your own ATV or UTV, or renting an ATV or UTV to explore Aruba at your own pace with your own itinerary.

Important note: The only thing you need to sign up for a tour or rent an ATV or UTV in Aruba is a valid driver’s license!

How to Select an Off-Road Tour Provider in Aruba

With so many options available, selecting the right off-road tour provider in Aruba is crucial for ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience. While we have vetted the ones above, there are many more out there.

Here are some tips to help you choose the best off-road provider.

  • Safety Measures: Prioritize safety. Ensure that the tour provider adheres to safety regulations, provides well-maintained vehicles, and employs experienced and certified guides.
  • Reviews and Testimonials: Read customer reviews and testimonials to get an idea of the experiences of previous participants. Pay attention to feedback on safety, the condition of vehicles, the quality of guides, and the overall satisfaction of customers.
  • Tour Options and Itineraries: Different companies may have unique routes, destinations, and attractions included in their off-road tours. Choose one that aligns with your interests and preferences.
  • Group Size and Atmosphere: Consider the group size on each tour. Some people prefer smaller, more intimate groups for a personalized experience, while others may enjoy the energy of larger groups. Check if the provider offers private tours if you prefer a more exclusive experience.
  • Environmental Responsibility: Choose a tour provider that practices responsible tourism and environmental conservation. Off-road tours can have an impact on delicate ecosystems, so it’s important to support operators committed to minimizing their footprint and preserving the natural beauty of Aruba.
  • Cost and Inclusions: Compare the costs of off-road tours among different providers. Be sure to understand what is included in the price, such as equipment rental, guides, entrance fees to attractions, and any additional amenities. Look for transparent pricing.
  • Cancellation and Refund Policies: Review the cancellation and refund policies of each provider. It’s important to be aware of the terms in case your plans change, and you need to cancel or reschedule your off-road tour.
  • Local Knowledge: Choose a tour provider with guides who have in-depth local knowledge. Guides who can provide insights into Aruba’s history, culture, and natural features enhance the overall experience.
  • Booking Process: Assess the ease of the booking process. A user-friendly and efficient booking system can contribute to a smooth experience from the initial reservation to the actual tour.

And there you have it. You’re ready for UTV tours, Aruba ATV rentals, and beyond!

Had a great time riding a UTV in Aruba. We saw many beautiful sites, such as the Natural Pool, and the gold mine ruins. Our tour guides Julissa and Robeet were alos excellent. They provided us with a great history lesson about the island and local culture.

Our guide, Milton, was awesome. The UTV worked great and the tour was enjoyable. Saw many things you would not ordinarily get to see. Milton was informative, pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour!

My husband and I enjoyed taking the UTV tour of Aruba. The UTV machines were in good condition and our guides, Brian and Robert, made the adventure fun and educational.

We had an awesome experience with our guides Brian and Robert! It was too rough to swim at the Natural Pool so they brought us to an alternate spot where we swam and cooled off near the end of our journey. Great equipment and great experience!!
