Hooiberg Hill hike with Mikhael was a highlight of our trip. We went at sunrise and the view was fabulous. Hiking with a guide made the event much more enjoyable since Mikhael was able to give use some history of the location and point out various sites on the island. I would highly recommend going on this while you are in Aruba.

It could have been a self tour but I preferred with a local cause there were a lot of stray dogs who follows you. I’m scared of dogs. The tour guide was courteous and knowledgeable.
Highly recommend!

Very good experience. It had perfectly planned timing in the afternoon. We were able to get to the top and see the whole island in the daylight and then catch a beautiful view of the sky just before sunset. Mikhael was very friendly and helpful. He shared a lot of interesting information about Hooiberg Hill and Aruba overall. Very interesting and different experience from usual Aruba activities. Highly recommend!

Having a guide as we walked up the trail was very useful. Along with providing a background narrative of the trail, he was very patient and encouraging as we climbed. Overall, we enjoyed the challenge of climbing the trail and the beautiful views that awaited us when we reached the summit. We would recommend the experience to anyone who visits the country.
Stop hesitating, book with Mikhael.

As nervous as I was going into it solo, Mikhael was so kind. He waited patiently each time I needed a little breather and he provided history throughout the journey up the steps. He is very sweet natured and makes you feel as though you’ve known one another for many years. He even gave an unexpected gift at the end of the hike as a congratulations for making it to the top. If you’re even considering, don’t hesitate, and enjoy the climb. I did mine at sunrise and it was beautiful!
It's worth it!!

It was a beautiful experience to experience it. Also the piece of history. The view is insanely beautiful. And our supervisor (Mikhael) gave good explanations about everything. He was also patient.

This past Sunday I signed up for the sunset hike up Hooiberg. The hike was about an hour in total and offered stunning views of the island. This is a perfect evening activity to squeeze in before dinner. What a beautiful and memorable way to end my Aruba trip, thank you Michael!

Mikhael was the best guide ever! Very attentive to all of us in attendance. Made sure we were safe with every step we took. We had a beautiful view of a cloudy sunset! We even got a nice surprise when we completed hiking Hooieberg. I definitely recommend going on this guided sunset hike with Mikhael.
