Best Aruba Hike to Conchi

5.00The tour guide, Yari was awesome, knowledgeable and professional. Make the effort to get up early and beat the crowd. It was a very rewarding experience as some sights are out of this world. Highly recommend getting the park conservation ticket through the tour guide, not at the visitor center unless you planning on driving through the park yourself later. Also, bring hiking shoes and water shoes.

Gorgeous views, but rude and disorganized

2.00Let's start with the positives: the views are gorgeous. The natural pool is great. The tour is early in the morning, so there are almost no other people there. The sunrise is really quick; do not expect to sit and enjoy it - you will be walking. The WhatsApp communication was rude. Not a huge deal, but that can be easily avoided. Just read the listing description and their review responses to know what you will be dealing with. The rental car is recommended, but there's a drive from the meeting point to the park, and if you don't have a car, they will drive you. Realistically, you really needed a car only to get closer to the park, and that's it. Why not make a meeting point at the park border - they do provide coordinates anyway, so why go to the store instead? And, as I said, if you don't have a car, they drive you there. It would be interesting to see what they would do if more than 4 people show up without a car. They emphasize being on time, but they are late themselves. Keep in mind, you will be meeting in the middle of nowhere - the taxi driver who brought us back to the hotel checked the pickup address a few times before confirming the ride, as tourists do not go there. Sea turtle nesting mentioned in the description is only for a certain period of the year, but they say about it only when you are already at the park, like "that happens here, but we won't see it today".
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. I understand they don’t control the weather but then the choice would Of been mine If these were listed I would not of gone as I am scheduled for knee replacement next month.
Awesome morning hike through the desert onto the beach

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!
