Around Aruba Tours

We did the UTV tour and it was amazing!!! Wonderful unexpected surprises, starting with the animal sanctuary where we got to feed some of the rescued animals including a beautiful horse, donkeys and pigs. A third of the admission price goes straight to the animals. The monkeys were so adorable and an actual camel and peacock that showed off for us. Experienced (probably a once in a lifetime) sun halo 🤩 over this beautiful desert island that is Aruba. Our guide that was with us from beginning to end was Jordan. Jordan was the best-he picked everybody up from their respective hotels on time and led us the whole way-informing us on each stop with the history of each location and was super down to earth with a great sense of humor, making us laugh the whole time. Ride is not for the faint of heart but so worth it! They provide buffs to cover your face and water throughout. Goggles are a must though-you can bring your own or purchase at a few stops along the tour. Bathroom at the natural bridge store for a $1 was super clean and big and quite charming actually. The water at the natural pool beach was unbelievably crystal clear 😍 I can’t wait to go back and do this all over again!!!

Around Aruba Tours was hands down one of the BEST experiences I had in Aruba. I booked the “UTV Tour with Natural Cave Pool and Cliff Jumping” literally the night before (about 8 hours in advance), and everything went smoothly—super easy and convenient. The tour itself was absolutely incredible. Driving the UTV was SO much fun and honestly one of the highlights of my trip. You’re not just driving around randomly either—they take you across what feels like almost a third of the entire east coastline of the island, which is something you would never get to experience on your own. The views were insane the entire time—rocky coastlines, ocean waves crashing, and beautiful open landscapes. We stopped at multiple spots including one of the natural bridges and even another that had collapsed years ago, which was really cool to see in person. One thing I didn’t expect (but loved) was before the tour even started, they had a small zoo area that we could explore for free, and they even gave us food to feed the animals. Getting to see and interact with exotic animals like that just made the whole experience even more unique. Overall, the entire tour was organized and they give you context/the history behind every stop, exciting, and 100% worth it. The only small downsides were that we didn’t end up doing the cliff jumping, and we only had about 10 minutes to swim at one of the beaches—but even with that, the experience was still amazing. If you’re going to Aruba, you HAVE to do this tour. I’d recommend it to anyone.

We had an amazing time on the UTV group tour! Aigil was an awesome guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience fun from start to finish. The tour itself was a great adventure and definitely something I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to explore the island. The only area that could use some improvement is the UTVs themselves. Quite a few of the machines weren't in the best shape and could definitely use some updating. The owner should consider investing in newer machines, as it would make an already great experience even better and give guests a little more confidence in the equipment. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and Aigil absolutely made the experience worth 5 stars. I definitely recommend the tour!

Two incredible private tours! We booked a 4-hour private speedboat charter with Around Aruba Tours while still back home in the US. The booking process via WhatsApp was incredibly easy, Vicky was super helpful with great advice and always prompt with responses. We had such a fantastic experience on the water that we decided to add on their 5-hour private open-air jeep tour while on the island! Both the boat and the jeep were spotless, very clean, and in excellent shape. The Private Speedboat Charter: The captain and mate were fantastic. They took us south from Hadicurari down to Mangel Halto, where we got out to swim. We even cruised right past Flamingo Island and could see the flamingos from the water! The views all along the shore were unique and incredible. The crew took awesome photos and videos of us as planes were landing right over the water near Oranjestad. Afterwards, we made our way back past Eagle Beach and Palm Beach to snorkel near Boca Catalina. The Arikok National Park Jeep Tour: Our guide, Albert, was awesome. Because he's a native, he knew so much about the island's history and shared great stories with us. He took us to the Conchi Natural Pool, Fontein Cave, the Natural Bridge, and the Ayo Rock Formations, before ending the tour at the Aruba sign in Oranjestad. Both trips were highlights of our vacation. Highly recommend this company for a personalized, seamless experience!

The UTV tour was AMAZING. Our tour guide, Dave, was knowledgeable, considerate, high-energy, and the friendliest guide I’ve ever had—and that’s a high bar because Aruba has probably the friendliest culture I’ve experienced. Driving the UTVs was SO FUN. We traveled over diverse terrain from smooth dirt roads to steep, rocky hills. All of which had incredible views on the way to interesting sights like beaches, natural bridges and historic ruins in the Arikok National Park. Dave’s teammate, Beto, took good care of us, providing bottles of cold water, providing safety guidance on the trickiest terrains, and making sure our vehicles were always ready to go. It was also super convenient that they picked us up and dropped us off at our resort. I highly recommend this company and our tour guide team. I will probably do this tour every time I’m in Aruba!
