of the day, with nothing taken at the gate.
Three quarters of an hour at Conchi
Long enough to swim, snorkel and, when
the sea is right, jump.

plans.
Guiding in English, Dutch and Spanish
Three languages on one small
jeep.
What this day is actually about
Depth inside the boundary rather than breadth across the island. Most Aruba safaris
spend half an hour in the park and three hours at the lighthouse, the natural bridge and
the gold mill ruins; this one inverts that. Two hours crossing Arikok National Park, then
six named stops, five of them inside it.
That is the only listing in the set whose own itinerary names Boca Prins, Quadirikiri
Cave, Fontein Cave, Dos Playa and Conchi together. If your reason for coming to Aruba
includes the park itself rather than a day out with a swim in it, this is the shape you
want.
The second thing it does is make the money simple. The entrance ticket, every fee and
tax, a snorkel and mask and bottled water are inside the fare, so eighty-five dollars is
what the day costs and nothing is collected at the gate. Travellers name Dre and Andrew in
review after review, which is unusual consistency for a small operation. There is more on
who charges what on the conservation pass page.
Your day, stop by stop

Who this suits, and who should book something else
Book this if
You came for the park. Nothing else in the set names five stops inside the boundary,
and having the conservation pass in the fare means the eighty-five dollars is the whole
number. It suits anyone who would rather see Boca Prins and both caves than another rock
formation outside the gate.
Book something else if
You want a swim at a calm beach to finish, or you are staying on Palm Beach and would
rather be collected from the lobby than meet at Paradera. The
signature jeep
does both, at a lower fare, with the conservation pass paid separately. Under-fours cannot
travel on this one at all.

Next step: pick your date and see live availability, the exact pickup time and travellers' own photographs of the day.
Where it meets you, and when
Departures leave from Matividiri 60 in Paradera, in the middle of the island, and
pickup is offered. Paradera is ten minutes from Oranjestad and fifteen from the hotel
strip, so it is central rather than remote. The operator runs grades from two hours to
six, and the six-hour version is the one that reaches all six stops.
Ask which grade you are booking. The short grades exist for people fitting the park
around something else, and they do not cover the full itinerary above.
Know before you go
Nothing to pay at the gate. The entrance ticket is in the fare, so no
cash is needed for admission.
Water shoes at the caves and the pool. The operator recommends them
for both, and they are right.
Good walking shoes for the caves. Sand, worn rock and a staircase at
Quadirikiri.
Minimum age four. Younger children cannot travel and no infant seats
are carried.
Not for back or neck trouble. Travellers describe being thrown about,
cheerfully.
Check the grade. Two hours and six hours are very different days on
the same booking page.
Questions people ask before booking this one
Is the conservation pass included in the price?
Yes. The entrance ticket for Arikok National Park, along with every other fee and tax, is inside this fare, so nothing is collected at the gate. The pass page sets out which other departures do the same and which take it at check-in.
How is this different from the other jeep safaris?
Five of its six named stops are inside the park boundary, which no other listing matches. Most Aruba safaris spend half an hour in the park and the rest of the day outside it. The jeep tour comparison shows the split across every departure.
How long is the tour actually?
It depends on the grade you book, from two hours to six. The six-hour version is the one that covers all six stops above. Ask the operator which you are on before you travel.
Can children come?
Not under four — this listing sets that as its minimum age and carries no infant seats. Over four, under-17s pay nothing for the conservation pass and the caves are usually the part they remember.
Will we get to swim at the Natural Pool?
Forty-five minutes are allowed for it, with a snorkel and mask provided, and whether you can get in is decided by the sea on the day. The Natural Pool page explains what decides it. Free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead covers you if the forecast turns.
What if I want a swim at a calm beach to finish?
This day ends at the Natural Pool rather than on sheltered sand. The signature jeep from Palm Beach gives you an hour at Baby Beach instead, and collects you from your lobby. You trade three of the park stops for it.
What if I would rather walk than ride?
One operator runs a half-day guided walk up Arikok Mountain that finishes with a snorkel at Conchi, which is the quietest way to see the same country. The trails guide covers the routes you can walk unguided.
You learn about a part of Aruba most visitors never see. We loved the caves, the Natural Pool and Dos Playa in particular. Andrew and Dre went well beyond what the day needed.

★★★★★
We booked this for our nineteenth wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. Andrew and Dre are a wealth of knowledge about the island, its heritage and the places they take you to. I expected to be escorted around and instead got a proper history of the place.

★★★★★
Dre and Andrew made sure we reached the best spots before the crowds arrived. The other tours out there had far too many people on them. Being in a small group made the difference.

If this one is not yours, the other two featured days are these: the cheapest seat into the park, collected from a Palm Beach lobby; the most-booked day on either platform, meeting at an Oranjestad office.
