ABC Tours Aruba · Schotlandstraat 61, Oranjestad
An open-air 4x4 takes you past the Ayo rock formations, through Arikok National Park for two hours, then to the Natural Pool for an hour in the water. The guide does the driving, and it's the cheapest Natural Pool tour on this site and the most reviewed of all nine.
With 9,750 reviews, this is the most reviewed tour on our list, and the format explains it: you sit in an open-air 4x4 and let the guide drive. The listing's itinerary gives 20 minutes at the Ayo rock formations, where the Arawak left rock paintings, then 2 hours in Arikok National Park and 1 hour at the Conchi Natural Pool. The overview also names Dos Playa beach and the Fontein garden among the park stops.
It costs $99 per person, the lowest price of any tour on this site that reaches Conchi. Children 2 to 12 pay a reduced price. The catch: on Viator the Arikok entrance fee is excluded, and the listing puts it at $25 per person. Lunch comes with the morning tour only.
The pool sits in a basin of volcanic rock that the listing says shields it from the big waves. You climb down over rocks to get in, and the sea decides the rest: ABC's own page says swimming there "is never a guarantee if sea condition is rough". Several guests wrote the same thing: wear water shoes.
Hotel pickup, or be at ABC Tours on Schotlandstraat 61 by 8:00 AM or 1:30 PM.

★★★★★Had a great time with curt worth every penny just for the ride out there. But definitely bring a pair of water shoes if you plan on doing the pool since you have to climb rocks
★★★★★Josh and Ivo were amazing guides. They were very entertaining and fun, yet also very informative on the culture and history of the island. Definitely recommend this experience because you'll learn more about Aruba and that it's not just a beach / resort island.
★★★★★Great experience! Kids loved the pool and the guides did a great job explaining the history. Highly recommend!
