Detailed itinerary

1

Perched on Aruba’s northwestern tip, the California Lighthouse offers sweeping views of the coastline, crashing waves, and golden sand dunes. Named after the S.S. California shipwreck, this historic structure is a favorite for photo ops and sunrise watching. Your guide will share the lighthouse’s backstory and let you soak in the scenery.

2

Dive into paradise at Tres Trapi, a hidden cove on Aruba’s northwest coast, famous for its calm, clear waters and frequent turtle sightings. This small beach with volcanic rock steps offers a gentle entry into the sea, making it perfect for snorkeling — especially for spotting sea turtles, starfish, and colorful reef fish.

Note: We offer snorkeling equipments for this part of the tour and we have a guide for every 4 person in your group. We will take professional underwater footage to capture this special moment of swimming with beautiful sea turtles in Aruba

Known as the "Pilgrims Chapel," Alto Vista is a peaceful sanctuary perched on Aruba’s northeast coast. Surrounded by cactus-studded hills and scenic ocean views, it’s the oldest chapel on the island and a beloved spiritual site. Whether you come for quiet reflection, to light a candle, or simply to admire the beauty, it's the perfect final stop to end your morning on a tranquil note.

Venture off the beaten path to discover one of Aruba’s hidden gems — the Cave Pool. Nestled among rock formation, this natural pool is tucked inside a cave-like setting where adventurous travelers can climb down and take a refreshing dip. Surrounded by jagged cliffs and echoing waves, the spot offers the perfect mix of thrill and tranquility. Your guide will assist you down the rocky path and ensure safe access to the pool for swimming or snapping unforgettable photos.
