De Palm Tours · Oranjestad
De Palm Tours puts you in an open 8-passenger Land Rover, in a caravan behind a guide, through the countryside and Arikok National Park to the Natural Pool. The Viator listing lets you take the wheel yourself or ride as a passenger.
This is De Palm Tours' off-road safari. The listing describes an 8-passenger Land Rover in a guide-led caravan: you "settle in behind the wheel or hop in the passenger seat". On the way you pass the California Lighthouse and stop at what's left of the Natural Bridge, which collapsed in 2005. The listing gives 20 minutes there and 30 minutes at Conchi to swim and snorkel.
From $108 per person on Viator, with hotel pickup, snorkel gear, water and local taxes included, and child and youth prices for ages 6 to 17. De Palm's own page runs a 4-hour morning tour (8:30 AM to 12:30 PM) and a shorter 3-hour afternoon one, and says swimming is subject to sea conditions: the park can close access when the sea is rough.
Driving here is not a road trip. One guest called the ride "like a roller coaster", and another advises against it for anyone with back or leg problems. Hold on, or let someone else drive.
De Palm collects you from your hotel; the morning tour starts at 8:30 AM.
Then choose: driver's seat or passenger seat.
A pass at the island's northwest tip.
The remains of the coral rock bridge that once spanned about 30 metres.
Swim and snorkel inside the volcanic rock wall, then back to your hotel.
★★★★★We went in the morning and at first were tired, but Jeff and Jared brought the energy and fun we needed to wake up!! Once we hit the national park roads, we were wide awake and having a blast the rest of the day!!
★★★★★The off road experience was like a roller coaster ride!!! Bumpy is NOT the word so be prepared and hold on tight!! A good time was had by all.
★★★★★We were looking for a unique Aruba experience and getting to the natural pool was amazing.
