Arikok National Park and Natural Pool Jeep Safari
Make your own way to the meeting point in Oranjestad. Jump aboard your open-air Jeep and head for Arikok National Park. Before entering the park, make your first stop at the Ayo and Casibari Rock Formations to learn about their significance to the Arawak people and see the rock paintings they made. Upon arrival in Arikok National Park, go offroad and explore the rugged landscape and stunning coastline. Head for the Natural Pool, in a basin made out of volcanic rocks, which offers a wall of protection against the big waves from coming in. Step into the pool and watch the waves crashing at the back of the rocks while soaking in the water. Your tour ends back at the pickup point.
