2.Aruba Natural Pool and Indian Cave Rugged Jeep Safari

“We had a lot of fun! Off roading, snorkeling in the natural pool, seeing caves and a yummy lunch too finish the day! Our tour guide was fun and offered a lot of information . Great for all ages! My only peeve is that it would have been cheaper to book directly with ABC tours instead of through Viator. My fault that I didn’t check before I booked but in the past I feel Viator always offer the best deal. It is discounted but when you add the extra $22/pp national park fee and the taxi fee to get there and back (both are paid for if you book direct)…”

He went snorkeling with us to show us the best places to swim and took a detour so we could buy a needed item. I wish Viator had listed the length of the tour in their description. As it was, Rocky had to get us back for a dinner reservation, so our tour was 45 minutes shorter than he had planned. But we covered a lot an learned much about Aruba from Rocky.”
