Itinerary
Walk among towering boulders shaped by time and nature. Climb to scenic viewpoints and admire ancient Arawak petroglyphs carved into the rocks.
Wander through two illuminated chambers filled with shafts of sunlight, natural formations, and local legends—this cave is as mysterious as it is beautiful.
Take in the dramatic contrast of Aruba’s wind-carved white sand dunes against the deep blue of the Caribbean Sea—a stunning photo stop and a glimpse into the island’s raw natural beauty.
Step into the mystical Fontein Cave, where centuries-old Arawak drawings line the limestone ceilings. Just outside, dip your feet into a natural spring for a playful fish pedicure—where tiny fish gently exfoliate your feet in a unique and refreshing experience.
Drive past Aruba’s renewable energy hub where towering wind turbines spin along the southeastern coast—a powerful symbol of the island’s commitment to sustainability.
Arrive at Aruba’s iconic Natural Pool, nestled between volcanic rock. Cool off with a swim or snorkel (weather permitting), as waves crash around this hidden coastal gem.

Great tour with very knowledgeable and friendly guide....... Be prepared for a true 4x4 ride........
So much fun and such an amazing experience! JP was our guide and we looooved him!!
Our tour guide was a natural historian and provided members of the tour with excellent descriptions of what we were seeing! This tour takes you through rugged terrain and would also be suited for young teenagers because at times it becomes interactive. A great way to learn about petroglyphs, and the history of the Ayo people… I highly recommend this tour…
Nice tour with Marcel! A bit rough but interesting places to visit for 1/2 of day trip.
Great adventure! It was fantastic to see another side of Aruba and our guide, David, was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. This is a must do for adventure seekers of all ages!
This was such a fun experience! Marcel was AWESOME as a tour guide-- funny, made sure everyone stayed well hydrated and fixed a flat tire pretty quickly! We enjoyed getting to see parts of the island ww had not seen before like the caves in Arikok and Ayp rock formation. ONLY bad thing I can say is we were picked up ahead of the time listed on our confirmation, BUT to Marcel's credit he went in to the front desk and asked for us so the hotel alerted us he was here (I have seen other tour companies literally wait 5 minutes and then leave, so his checking for us was MOST appreciated) Highly recommended. YOU WILL GET BUMPED AROUND A LOT IN ARIKOK PARK! Also, it is a BIG step up into the Jeeps but nothing we couldn't handle. Wear closed toed shoes as there are a lot of goat droppings around Ayo.
If I could give this trip more stars I would.. Marcel was a wonderful guide. He was humorous informative and patient. He took pictures of us and videos of us swimming and jumping off a cliff which we've already shared with our family and friends.
It is a great experience to learn about some of the history of Aruba and have a good time while doing so , enjoying the natural pool was amazing
Extremely fun and interesting from start to finish! Our guide JP was the best we had all trip and has a wonderful enthusiasm for the island!
JP. WAS AMAZING loved this so much
Marcel needs driving class!!! Just kidding he made it fun! It was a very interesting and enjoyabke tour, learned alot we didjt previously know before this tour, wouod give 6 stars if could!!!
Had an awesome time! Marcel was a lot of fun, and loved the stops! My favorite was the Conchi Natural Pool, but the caves and Ayo Rocks were beautiful as well!
JP was an awesome tour guide!! Breath taking views! Fun way to see the other side of the Island. Highly recommend.
We had so much fun on our Jeep Tour ! JP, our guide was funny and very knowledgeable! Just an FYI it is a bit of upward walking at the rocks but worth it. The caves were so beautiful but HOT. JP did a great job of taking pictures for us. The natural pools are at the end of a long stair case but 100% worth it. Bottom line, although it says jeep tour prepare to walk. In the natural pools JP got in with us and jumped off the rocks ! It was a BUMPY ride but amazing experience over all.
Great tour and a great value! We loved the extras like the Ayo Rock Formations and natural springs with goats and little fish that give you a foot pedicure. The caves and the natural pool for snorkeling were wonderful and they kept up hydrated with bottled water.
Great experience seeing the caves and the natural pools. Be sure to bring a snack since it can be quite a long tour!
Pelican Adventures Aruba’s Natural Pool and Caves tour was a fun, convenient, and worry-free experience, complete with hotel pickup, cold water and granola bars. Our guide, Marcel, was friendly, professional, and helpful with taking photos and finding the best angles. The small group allowed plenty of time to enjoy the Natural Pool, Quadirikiri and Fontein Caves, and Ayo Rock Formation, all worth seeing and made better with a little backstory for each. It was reasonably priced compared with renting a car and exploring on our own, not to mention risking damage for a rental car. Highly recommended—just note that the bumpy roads may not be suitable for people with back problems.
Make sure you know what time they are going to pick you up. Also, the ride in the back of the excursion vehicle is quite exhilarating when traveling inside the park. And a guide makes a difference…… Perhaps chance encounters and acts of kindness are more likely in small countries like Aruba, but I think this one is exceptional. We booked an Arikok National Park tour with Pelican Tours. Our tour guide was George. Our final stop was for a swim at the natural pool. Because I didn't plan well in advance, I wasn't wearing my bathing suit which necessitated changing outdoors behind a large container (George's suggestion). I accidentally left behind my favorite bra. Fast forward to the next day. My husband and I are eating breakfast and we notice the Pelican jeep pull up outside and to our surprise, George is the driver, again. My husband asked George if he would be willing to check the location to see if my bra was still there. Later that afternoon, we received a call from the front desk and learned that George was in the lobby with my lingerie! I am deeply touched by his efforts and I think it represents the quality of his hospitality. I will long remember his generous efforts on my behalf. - P.S. The jeep "massages" over rugged terrain will be long remembered.
We had a great time and JP was a great guide! Loved seeing the natural pool. You definitely need water shoes! I didn’t snorkel but my husband did and he saw lots of fish and an eel. It’s a bumpy ride but well worth it. It’s a must do trip!
The guide was late picking us up. The guide was very nice and had lots of knowledge but you could not always hear it. He did a great job keeping everyone involved and taking everyone’s pictures. His driving skills left a lot to be desired especially in the park. It was an extremely bumpy and and uncomfortable experience sitting in the vehicle. No leg room if you are tall or have long legs
Jean Pierre a.k.a JP Morgan, JP Friday made the whole experience amazing with a lot of good laugh and knowledge to share.
JP Morgan WAS A GREAT GUIDE very knowledgeable
It was an amazing experience, Jean Pierre ( JP Morgan) was an awesome tour guide. We absolutely recommend it.
Today we had the pleasure to tour with JP and he was great! I’m not just saying this cause he asked, he is legit. Best tour guide hands down. Even jumped right into the water to show us no fear for taking the plunge!! I also want to add that because I was at the bottom of the island and hit work and school traffic the pelican team helped me get to a destination that I would be picked up from even though I was running late because of local traffic. 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
JP was a great tour guide. Trip was great, views were amazing. Be prepared for a bumpy ride, but definitely worth it!
The caves were great. The National park and natural pool were wonderful. The Jeep, not so much. I do not recommend for over 70 or slightly handicapped. Very rough. But all in all, excellent
It was an amazing tour and well worth the price. JP our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. I would definitely recommend this excursion.
JP was an exceptional tour guide…very knowledgeable, entertaining, as well as helpful to anyone that needed assistance! Please do consider that this is NOT an ideal tour for anyone with neck/back problems, motion sickness, doesn’t do well with heat/humidity or respiratory problems. Much of the park has roads that require a jeep/commercial truck to navigate. Other than those cautionary thoughts…this is a “bucket list item” excursion!
JP was the best! We LITERALLY booked 10 mins before the departed and they were very accommodating. JP made the tour super fun and shared a lot of Loco knowledge and restaurants to eat locally. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOOKING WITH JP from Pelican Adventures.
This tour was a great way to see other parts of Aruba, other than a resort! I really enjoyed seeing the wild goats (I had no idea Aruba had so many goats!), petroglyphs, caves, bats, an owl, crabs and swimming in the natural pool. My guide, Jean Pierre (JP) was incredibly kind and ensured everyone had a good time while keeping everyone safe, especially in and out of the natural pool.
Caves and Natural pool were great. Our guide was very informative with items of interest about Aruba.
We had an amazing time! JP was a fantastic tour guide and provided a great experience! The views and sites were one in a million :)
Had a great tour with JP as a entertaining guide. Visited the natural pool and had time to take a swim. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend going on the Natural Pools and Caves tour! I was pleasantly surprised to know that the tour goes around the whole island, which can save you money if you planned to do multiple tours. Plus we went snorkeling in the natural pools! David was the best tour guide. He offers water, granola bars, and many pictures wherever you’d like. The experience was fun, safe, and very interesting.
Our tour was amazing, im so glad that we choose the guided tour so that we knew what all we were actually looking and the history behind it. Our tour guide John Pierre ""JP" was the greatest. Very knowledgeable and very curious. He gave use background and history of everything we did as well as keep smiles on everyone's faces and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. 10 star reviews for him and the business, and will recommend.
David is our guide. He is awesome! Very knowledgeable about Aruba’s history. Had a great time and will go back again.
Great tour!! Beautiful scenery!! JP Friday was knowledgeable and fun!!
We had an amazing day with David! He was with two other guides, and they made us laugh all day long. They also gave us plenty of time to take pictures at every place we visited. The Natural Pool was closed, so they took us to Baby Beach instead. It was a great alternative, and we had an amazing time! We highly recommend this tour and the guides!
David was fantastic! The Jeep tour to the caves and Natural Pool was so much fun, and he made the whole experience unforgettable. Great guide, super friendly, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
The tour guide was awesome! Calls himself JP Morgan lol. Very fun and makes you laugh. The tour was great. The views, the caves and the natural pool was super cool. Would definitely book again with the same tour guide.
JP Morgan is an excellent guide. Makes the tour extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended
Victor was absolutely amazing! I have been on three tours here in Aruba and Victor was by far the best tour guide. He is friendly and knowledgeable. He makes you feel comfortable and safe. This tour is definitely my favorite thus far and it is because of Victor. Thank you for giving my son and I a great experience from pickup to drop off and every stop in between.
Had an amazing experience. Our tour guide Marcel was the best & most of all we were having such a good time as a family. He made the whole tour a special experience for us.
It was a fun and informative experience. I really enjoyed seeing the Ayo Rock Formations, exploring the caves and learning about the history, seeing the beautiful scenery of Aruba on the exciting jeep ride, and swimming and discovering crabs in the refreshing natural pool.
Marcel was a Great tour guide and the day was amazing. We learned lots and were able to see some incredible places
Our experience was wonderful. The tour guide taught us about the beauty and wonder of this one happy island, and also helped us feel safe. He provided just enough information without inundating us. I would recommend. Please be aware this tour involves lots of stairs to navigate.
Great experience from start to finish. JP Morgan was great. We really appreciated his energy he brought to the group
Just want to say that we had overall a pretty good time on the tour. The tour guide was super knowledgable and nice throughout the whole tour, he was really funny and kept the whole group laughing. All of the spots we got to see were beautiful and full of so much history. The only downside we found is for guests with nut allergies. The tour offers water and a granola bar for a snack which is really nice but unfortunately all of the granola bars contained nuts. My wife has a severe nut allergy where even just touching a surface that someone else touched who ate nuts can send risk sending her into anaphylactic shock. We notified our guide of the severe nut allergy and were hoping that he would give out the granola bars after the tour due to the allergy so at least people would be able to enjoy whats expected on the tour. Instead, he decided to give everyone a granola bar right after we told him that she is allergic, so every other person on the truck was eating nuts around us while driving to the next spot. Once we reached the next spot, we didn't feel comfortable enough to get back onto the truck and risk having her touch a surface not knowing and take a trip to the hospital, so we notified the guide of the situation. He was super apologetic about the whole thing and brought us to a park ranger to help get us get back to our hotel since we had no service to call a taxi. Unfortunately, the company itself did not want to bring out a car to come bring us back to our hotel so it was either spend a ton of money on a taxi or somehow find a ride. Luckily the park supervisor was super nice and understanding of the situation as she also had a nut allergy. She tried to work with the Pelican Adventures to see if they would get a car to bring us back as it was their fault we were in this situation in the first place. Although she talked with them a bit, they thought it would be nice if the park supervisor would bring us back to our hotel instead of the company providing us a ride back. This is NOT HER JOB, she gave the company that as an option as a last case scenario as she felt bad about us having to spend so much money getting a taxi from the park back to our hotel. We were a 30+ minute drive away which for taxis in Aruba is not a cheap ride. Luckily we had someone as nice and amazing as her to help us out but it should not have come down to that in the first place.
JP Morgan was a great guide! Would do this again!
