Half Day Hike at Arikok National Park & Snorkel

Such a great experience! Both our guides were very knowledgeable about the island! Would highly recommend!

What a fantastic way to spend half a day in Aruba! We left early so the first part of the hike was very comfortable; it was quite hot after 11 am. We almost made it to the pool before the crowds, but the hike along the way was worth it no matter what! We saw the sun rise over the ocean, watched native birds and wild goats dominate their natural environment, and had wonderful conversation with our guide. There were only a few others taking advantage of this amazing part of Aruba. I'd highly recommend it for all ages - it'll be a highlight of your trip!

About 6 miles out back, rocky terrain, very beautiful in its own right Snorkeling experience really good. Jason as a great guide - very informative!

Solid hiking about 5 miles round trip. Saw shipwrecks and natural pools and blowholes and goats and crabs and ate sea grapes and some delicious cactus fruit. Do it

We had a nice paced hike with Mick and saw the natural beauty and snorkeling in the natural pond. We saw goats roaming and learned about the various types of cactus and got to taste it as well as the sea grapes. Mick was very patient as it was rocky and steep in certain spots.

We had a great time with our guide, Mick, doing a 5.5-6 mile hike in Arikok and snorkeling in the Conchi Natural Pool. Mick was extremely knowledgeable about the plants and wildlife and was an excellent guide. We got to the natural pool before the rest of the tours showed up and had it to ourselves for 30 minutes or so. The terrain was very interesting and definitely worth the time hiking. Theoretically, you can do the hike without a guide (and we are experienced hikers) but wouldn’t recommend it as we would have missed a lot of the interesting features and probably would have started too late (sun gets brutal after 11am). Overall, this tour was one of the top 2-3 highlights of our vacation in Aruba.

A very beautiful hike through Arikok National Park. Mick was a great guide. He provided great information about the wildlife in the national park and answered any additional questions we had about the culture of Aruba. The operator’s car broke down at the pickup point for the end of the hike, so Mick drove us back to our hotel at no extra charge. Even when something went wrong, they made it right. Great experience!

Our tour guide Mick was outstanding. He let us set the pace of the hike, and we were able to stop and take pictures or soak in the landscape. He taught us a lot about the plants and animals along the way. The volcanic basin swimming hole was amazing. There were so many beautiful fish! Make sure you bring a mask. The water crashing over the rocks into the pool was unlike anything I've ever experienced. It was difficult getting in and out of the swimming hole area. Mick gave me his hand when I needed it. I would recommend wearing Keen water sandals or something similar with a rigid sole. Mick did an outstanding job of making this an unforgettable adventure.

This day was spectacular! My friend and I had an awesome hike learning about the natural Aruba, it was hot but Mick, our guide kept us motivated, engaged and safe. He put thought into when to rest, hydrate and brought apples/water. Mick made sure we had time in the natural pool, recommended lunch and was simply great company. Aruba is breathtakingly beautiful. I highly recommend this tour. (Mick too)

This was one of the best ways to explore Arikok National Park with a private guide. Jorge was great and very knowledgeable!
