Route

The safari truck takes you through Arikok before a swim at Baby Beach and the return through San Nicolas.

    1. Arikok National Park

    You stop at Arikok's visitor center after entering. The visit lasts 15 minutes.

  2. 20 min
    2. Conchi Natural Pool

    Conchi gives you a 20 minute swim stop. Volcanic rock surrounds the pool.

  3. 20 min
    3. Fontein Cave

    Your 20 minute Fontein visit covers Indigenous drawings and a fish pedicure at the pond.

  4. 30 min
    4. Baby Beach

    You get half an hour to swim in Baby Beach's shallow water.

  5. pass by
    5. San Nicolas

    The return to Oranjestad passes through San Nicolas. You'll see murals from the truck without stopping.

The stops account for 85 minutes of your 5 hours. Departure is at 8:15 a.m. Baby Beach is the final swim stop, with San Nicolas on the drive back.

Pickup and meeting point

  • Hotels: You get pickup and return transport at selected hotels.
  • Meeting point: Meet at the tourist information kiosk on the corner across from Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort. Pickup is at 7:30 a.m.
  • Cruise port: Come outside gate 5 and turn right to Ocean Drive. Look for the blue wall with a yellow logo.

From the desk

  • For the swimming time question, I'd weigh the 20 minutes at Conchi against the 5 hour day. Port pickup makes it useful if you're happy with a short pool stop.

Fit

Is this tour right for you?

Choose the 5 hour loop for Conchi and Baby Beach if your children are at least 4. The fare is $95 per adult with park entry included and cruise port pickup available. Conchi gets 20 minutes, making the pool a short part of your day.

For more pool time, you get 35 minutes at Conchi on AGW's safari within a 4 hour tour. For a walk among the murals, RockaBeach's safari stops in San Nicolas for 15 minutes.

Means: I'd pick the 8:15 a.m. safari if you need cruise port pickup and accept 20 minutes at Conchi.

  • Children under 4 cannot join this tour.
