Love on the Rocks

5.00The trail is a little rugged and getting into the pool requires some rock walking, but absolutely worth it. Genesis was a great guide. Being in the pool, seeing the fish, while the sea waves break over the rocks beyond was a magnificent experience. Highly recommend.
Great time and superb scenery

5.00What a great way to start the day!! It started early, but once we met our guide Genesis, it was worth it. Great scenery, good knowledge and folklore, and the pool with the crashing waves was really awesome.
Great experience

2.00The trip did not llist the uneven walk through the park. It also did not list if the weather was rough the swim in the pool would not happen.

5.00This was an awesome adventure hiking the hilly desert terrain to the secluded beaches of the national park in Aruba. Our guide Genesis was incredibly knowledgeable of the history of Aruba, the area, and local culture. We rented a car and met her at a market. We then drove to the park entrance to start the hike. Super fun, would recommend sleeves as it pretty windy but warms up as the suns gets higher. My group was unable to enter the natural pool due to the strength of the tide, it was still a super neat experience with plenty of photo opportunities. Would definitely recommend!
Hike and swim with Yari.

5.00It was great. Very educational. Our guide, Yari, was fantastic and knew a great deal about the flora, fauna and history of the island. She took good care of us offering drinks and snacks at the swimming hole. She also joined us during the swim pointing out fish and geography.
Worth it! Interesting guided hike with time and SPACE in the natural pool.

5.00This was my husband's favorite part of our vacation. My two teens and I loved it too. The hike was easy for anyone who is in decent shape - almost no elevation change except the hill back up to the truck at the end, and yet we felt like we got a good enough workout to earn our beach day afterword! Lots of changes in scenery. The natural pool was incredible, and yes, DO brink your snorkel gear. Only three other people in the pool, besides our group of 8. Genesis was sweet and offered to take pics of our family at key places. Getting up so early was very worth it. We were never hot on this hike due to the constant wind and low morning temps.
Worth waking up for

Aruba Hike

5.00The hike was rugged as expected. Definitely need sturdy shoes. Our guide was very informative, and as a frequent traveler to Aruba, I learned some new things about the island. If you like to hike, I would highly recommend this experience.
Beautiful way to start the day!

5.00This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Yari is a wonderful guide and confidently led our group on the hike. We left on time and were able to watch the sunrise on our hike to the pool. An added bonus was a goat herd sighting on the way! Definitely suggest water shoes and some of the climb is a bit challenging, so I wouldn't recommend it for someone who has difficulty walking.
