About this experience
Venture off-road across sun-kissed trails in a guided 4x4 safari that reveals the island’s raw and radiant beauty. Begin your journey at the dramatic cliffs of North Cape, where desert meets ocean, then wind your way past the weathered ruins of Bushiribana—echoes of Aruba’s gold rush era. As the trail unfolds, the streets of San Nicolas burst to life with vibrant murals, telling stories through color and culture. Finally, surrender to the calm of Mangel Halto and Baby Beach, where soft sands and crystal-clear waters invite you to swim, snorkel, and simply be.
