5.00Top notch experience with Howie. He was very accommodating and polite. Super knowledgeable about the island and history. The hike takes you on a path where there is almost nobody else around with great views and scenery. He also provided us with water, snacks and snorkels to use at Conchi. It was our favorite excursion on this wonderful island. I’d give him more than 5 stars if I could.

5.00We had a fantastic hike in the park with Howie as our tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Aruba and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Our conversation went far beyond what we saw on the trail. We also learned about the island’s government, culture, and history. Howie was personable, polite, and encouraged us to take our time exploring. We never felt rushed and truly appreciated the relaxed pace. I highly recommend this hike to anyone wanting to experience this beautiful country on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Excellent experience!

5.00My husband and I did this hike with Howard on February 22, 2026. Howard offered us the opportunity to be picked up at 6 AM to miss the crowds and enjoy the sunrise. we were not disappointed. He picked us up at our hotel and was right on time. Once at the park the scenery and sunrise were beautiful. Howard was an excellent guide. he was attentive to our needs, making sure the pace was right as we are in our mid 60s. He shared interesting information about the park, including its history, plants, and animals. The natural pool was not overcrowded and was a great snorkeling experience with Howard’s guidance. Plenty of colorful fish in a truly unique environment. In addition to being a great guide, Howard took about 20 photos of us and provided us a link to download them following the hike. To top things off, he treated us to a local snack from a popular bakery on the way back to our hotel. Thank you Howard for a memorable morning in Aruba.!!
