Start and Finish Point
Ayo Rock Formation are monolithic rock boulders on the Island of Aruba. Earlier settlers of Aruba called the Arawak people used to visit the rock formation so they can hear incoming thunderstorm closing in on the island. You will see their carved painting on some rocks.
The national park has many different sights and sounds. Depending in what areas you are, in the park you can see wild life, the tallest peaks in Aruba, stunning coastlines and arid vegetation that most people have not seen before.
Located in the national park, you will see the Natural Pool is made out of vulcanic rocks. It offers a wall of protection against the big waves from coming in. You will see that waves crashing at the back of the rocks, only to splash gently into the pool. You will see that it takes almost 100 steps to get down to the pool.

We had such a fun time on this tour! The highlight for us was definitely the Conchi Natural Pool—the water was so clear and beautiful. We didn’t bring swimming goggles or snorkeling gear, but I would definitely recommend bringing them if you have, so you can fully enjoy the experience. Marc and Josh were both very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour even more enjoyable. They were great hosts and made sure everyone had a good time.
Diamond Donny and Dave were knowledgeable and fun guides, committed to giving everyone an educational and lively trip. Lunch was good and the waitress Jellybean was very sweet. We hadn’t packed keens or water shoes (which would be ideal for the entire excursion) and did fine with sneakers / taking them off before the natural pool. I recommend that over flip flops for safety on the terrain and caves. Our trip ended up starting late due to some logistical issues with another vehicle. That was the main drawback as a bunch of young kids didn’t get lunch until 1:45 and then back to hotels until 2:30. Overall I would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to see some memorable sites / experiences without needing to drive their own vehicle (or can’t due to being outnumbered with kid to parent ratio). The drive is very bumpy but they navigate it like pros.
This was a wonderful half day excursion. Beautiful scenery through Aruba’s national park. Marc, our tour guide and driver was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny and attentive. This is a must do excursion.
This was my 3rd experience with ABC Tours. AMAZING. You can’t beat this experience. Perfect amount of fun, excitement and safety!! I’m not a tour person and I love ABC tours! IVO was our guide…the best in the business! What a wonderful time we had because of him!!
The ABC folks from the admin team to the guides were top notch. I cannot tell you how impressed I was with their customer service. I had made a bad error when I had originally booked our trip. I had booked for the say AFTER we were to leave the island. I reached out to them and their responsive communication and flexibility accommodated our family to schedule the very next day. Now, the 1/2 day trip was amazing but IVO and JOSH made this the absolute best!! They shared so much information about this beautiful place and IVO turned up the entertainment! The meal upon returning was also very delicious! This is a must do and when we return, we look forward to booking with ABC Tours.
Totally worth the time and money. Ivo and Josh were the best guides. They were knowledgeable and friendly. Our family did the Aruba Natural Pool and Caves tour. We went to the National Park and the views & caves were amazing. The natural pool was so pretty, so be sure to grab the provided snorkeling gear. Be sure to hold on tight because the terrain does get rough! After the tour we went back to ABC for a fantastic meal. I was blown away of how tasty it was. It was the perfect way to end our day and I can’t wait to go back to Aruba for the next ABC adventure!
This was an awesome experience! You need sneakers and flip flops/crocs no need for a towel the wind is good enough. I would recommend wearing your swim suit under your athletics clothes and brining a cover up as well. Jack, Mark and Gino were amazing guides! Our pick up time at our hotel was scheduled for 7:45 and the jeep arrived at 8:15. After being picked up the rest was awesome. It was bumpy so if you have motion sickness beware. We had a blast the tour guides made it so fun and lunch was yummy too I had grouper. 10/10 would do again!
Had a great time. Tour guide Jack had a lot of energy, which was great. A great mix of adrenaline and information.
This was the nicest excursion I’ve been on during my stay in Aruba. The cave and natural pool were beautiful. Our tour guide Marc was so kind and thorough
Kurt was fantastic. The best. It could have not went any better.
