Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Your UTV tour begins by cruising alongside one of the best beaches in Aruba, Malmok Beach. This beach became famous after the German SS Antilla ship sank off the Aruban coast during World War II. Malmok Beach is also famous for its gorgeous powder white sand and underwater reefs teeming with marine life. Additionally the area has many sprawling homes and villas where the rich and famous have built their gorgeous local dwellings.

Stop 2

The first stop on your UTV Tour will be the California Lighthouse ca. 1916 where the view of the island is spectacular. Your guide will escort you up to this beloved landmark and take the most perfect pictures of you and your companions with Aruba as your backdrop.

Stop 3

Alto Vista Chapel is the soul of Aruba and a definite must see. This charming little chapel is perched on a beautiful hill overlooking the scenic north coastline. Originally built in 1750 the Alto Vista Chapel was the first place of worship in Aruba. The Alto Vista hill was a spiritual place for the Caquito Indians for centuries before the Europeans came. A very deep and historical part of Aruba's culture.

Wariruri Beach is a sandy cove along Aruba’s rocky, wave-pounded north coast. A native fishing site of the Caquito Indians for centuries, many locals still regularly cast their lines and bring home their catch today. A popular surfing spot for experienced locals and tourists plus those who just love to watch. Wariruri is also home to a very picturesque limestone natural bridge for that postcard perfect pictures.

Stop 5

The first gold processing operation in the Caribbean was right here on Aruba at Bushiribana ca.1872. You can walk inside the ruins where they crushed the ore taken from the surrounding hills. Learn how manpower extracted the ore and donkey power hauled it to this gold mill. Another great piece of Aruba history!

Stop 6

Known as the “Cave Pool” or “New Natural Pool” this hidden gem is definitely “hidden”. A local secret you will remember forever! Situated near the Bushiribana Goldmill Ruins, you will descend a sturdy ladder down to a sizable, craggy limestone slab which hides this precious natural pool from the pounding surf. Sit on the limestone and gaze at the crystal clear water with a gleaming white sandy bottom or jump in. Either way, you will love it!
