Aruba ATV Island Tour with Ayo Village, Natural Pool Swim
Explore the natural beauty of the northern coast on a half-day Aruba ATV adventure, starting with hotel pickup and a safety briefing. All riders hop aboard Honda Ranchers 420cc's—then follow your guide in a caravan toward your ultimate destination. A winding road leads to Alto Vista Chapel, built on the hilltop site of the island’s first Catholic church constructed in 1750. Snap photos of the shimmering Caribbean Sea from this beachside locale before continuing along the remote coastline. Next up is Baby Natural Bridge, a 25-foot-long (8-meter) coral limestone formation sculpted by eons of wind. You also find hundreds of stone pyramids dotting a shoreline at a nearby wish garden where you can add your own devotional spire. Continue on to the partial-stone wall ruins of Bushiribana, and learn about the abandoned mill that smelt three million pounds of gold during Aruba’s gold rush in the 19th century. Refresh with bottled water and a leisurely swim amid tropical fish before re-boarding your ATV for the return trip, ending with drop-off at your hotel.
Highlights
- ✓Explore the island’s rocky terrain, desert interior, and dramatic cliffs and beaches
- ✓Visit Alto Vista Chapel, Baby Natural Bridge, and gold mill ruins
- ✓Choose between a morning or afternoon departure
- ✓Safety briefing, bottled water, entrance fee and round-trip transport from most Aruba hotels included
What you'll see & do
- ✓Check in for your safety briefing and instructions.
- ✓Start your tour with the first stop at the historic Chapel of Alto Vista. The yellow chapel of Alto Vista is considered to be the birthplace of Aruba's Catholic religion, the first Chapel to be built on the island by the Indians and the Spanish Pioneers in 1750. The chapel offers a sense of peacefulness to all those who enter its sacred doors to meditate and pray, with a beautiful landscape as its surroundings.
- ✓A natural formation you'll visit is the Baby Natural Bridge, which succeeded with original Natural Bridge in 2005 after its collapse. You'll be in awe to witness how nature can create such beautiful constructs that still stand and attract thousands of visitors from all over the world.
- ✓We include one of the most amazing historical landmarks of Aruba, which was once a prided mill that processed gold on the Island, Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins. Dating back to the 1400s when Aruba was being dug up for wealth and riches, the gold prospectors finally found gold mines and eventually constructed this fort-like mill out of stone boulders. Fun Fact: The mill was built to resemble a fort to scare away pirates!
- ✓Explore the unusual design of this Rock Formation placed in close proximity to each other and explore the history of Indian cave paintings.
