Aruba Off-Road Adventure: Jeep Tour and Optional Snorkeling Cruise

Summary

Set off over the rugged terrain of Aruba during a round-island off-road adventure, starting with hotel pickup. At the tour base, meet your guide for a safety briefing and hop into your selected vehicle; a Kia Sportage gets you behind the wheel if you wish, while a Jeep Wrangler pus you in the passenger seat while you leave driving duties to your experienced guide. Each vehicle holds a maximum of four people. Roaring along Aruba’s remote northern coast all the way down to the southern end, you’ll stop at numerous natural attractions, such as the rocky ruins of Natural Bridge, an eroded limestone formation that collapsed in 2005. View the California Lighthouse, the remnants of a 19th-century gold mine and Boca Mahos cove.  Bounce over back roads to Arikok National Park to observe the Amerindian petroglyphs of Guadirikiri Cave. When you reach Baby Beach at the island’s southern tip, dig your toes in the sand and marvel at the shallow, tranquil waters of the Caribbean Sea. Circling back to the northwestern coast to Pelican Pier, end the off-roading portion of your tour with lunch at the Pelican Nest Seafood Grill. Enjoy waterfront views as you dine on a lunch of chicken or fresh fish. If you’ve chosen the half-day tour, you’re taken back to your hotel.  If you’re on the full-day tour, board your catamaran for a snorkeling cruise and enjoy snacks and drinks at the open bar. Your expert crew ensures a laid-back ride, topped off by calming sea breezes. Use the provided snorkel gear to explore the tropical marine life at two locations — the Antilla shipwreck and Catalina Reef. Your tour comes to an end when you return to the pier with drop-off at your hotel.
