About this experience
The Private Jeep Off-road Safari in Aruba by De Palm Tours is a private sightseeing and off-road experience for groups of 2 to 10 people. Guests travel in an open-air vehicle reserved for their group and can choose from existing Jeep and off-road itineraries or request a customized experience within the available tour timeframe. Half-day and full-day options are available.
One half-day route combines Arikok National Park, the Natural Pool, California Lighthouse and Baby Natural Bridge. Another visits Arikok National Park and the Natural Pool, stops at Baby Natural Bridge and passes the Ayo Rock Formation area. Half-day departures are available in the morning and afternoon, depending on the selected route.
A separate half-day itinerary explores southern Aruba, with stops at the San Nicolas murals, Red Anchor, Seroe Colorado and Baby Beach, where snorkeling is included in the published route. These options allow guests to select the itinerary that best matches the parts of Aruba they want to explore.
The full-day option runs for approximately seven hours and includes Baby Beach, Arikok National Park, caves inside the national park, the Natural Pool and lunch at a restaurant. The route also passes locations including San Nicolas street art, Aruba’s south coast, Red Anchor, Rincon Beach, Vader Piet Wind Farm and rock formations.
Round-trip transportation from most Aruba hotels is included. Guests should bring a swimsuit, towel, reef-safe sunblock, sunglasses, a hat or visor, a camera and footwear suitable for rocky terrain. Swimming and snorkeling at the Natural Pool depend on sea conditions, and access may be restricted when conditions are rough. The tour is not permitted for pregnant guests, people with back or kidney problems, or children younger than six.
