Know before you go:

Off-road routes are rugged by nature. ABC is different because comfort is engineered; their fleet is maintained to a family-level standard. If it's not safe enough for their family, then it’s not good enough for their guests. On rugged off-road terrain, comfort is part of safety. Hard bench-style seats can feel harsh and tiring over a full day. ABC’s suspension seating is designed to absorb bumps and reduce impact so guests stay comfortable and relaxed.
It’s real off-roading, so you’ll feel some bumps - the fun kind. Most guests giggle and laugh through it. ABC's guides drive controlled and always put safety-first.
Most guests can join this tour. However, if you have back or neck issues, are pregnant, or prefer the smoothest ride possible, please notify the team in advance. They will advise you on the best option.
When swimming/snorkeling is part of the day at the Natural Pool, ABC's guides stay present and actively monitor the group, so guests feel supported - not supervised from a distance. ABC assigns a dedicated lifeguard, plus a team trained in First Aid & CPR.

We took an ATV tour while in Aruba. Our guide Jj was amazing. So funny, kind and knowledgeable. He helped us have a great experience. The views were amazing. Loved snorkeling at the natural pool! It was one of the highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend this tour. Definitely buy the goggles, It gets dusty. Wear good water shoes. The rocks can get slippery. We rented a 4 seater and paid for the upgraded one. It was so worth the upgrade for comfort in the backseat.

We had an amazing experience with ABC Tours Aruba from start to finish. The absolute highlight of the tour was our guide, Big G. He didn’t just guide the tour, he elevated it. His knowledge of Aruba’s history and culture was impressive, and he explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. He kept the group organized, made everyone feel comfortable, and somehow balanced being funny and professional at the same time. He took great photos for us, answered every question with patience, and kept the energy high the entire time. You can tell he genuinely takes pride in what he does. The food was also outstanding. We ordered the grouper entrée and it was absolutely delicious. Huge thank you to Jelly Bean at the restaurant! incredible service and such a great attitude. She made the dining part of the experience just as enjoyable. Even the other tour guides from the same company were welcoming and helpful throughout the day. Professional, organized, fun, and worth every penny. Highly recommend ABC Tours Aruba if you want a memorable experience on the island.

The Perfect Aruba Sampler – Do This First! The ABC tour was hands down the best thing we did in Aruba. We took it on our second day, and it was the perfect "sampler" for the island - we saw more in that one day than we could have ever covered on our own. It gave us the lay of the land, which made it so much easier to decide exactly which spots, like Baby Beach, we wanted to head back to with our rental car later in the week. The crew was phenomenal - Big Sexy, Little Sexy, and Mark are absolute legends who kept us laughing the whole time. The food was great (definitely try the fish), and having fresh Chill beer and cold lemonade waiting for us was the perfect touch. We even hit a viewpoint near the highest point on the island where I snagged a photo capturing 60% of the island coast-to-coast. My only advice is to bring a bandana to cover your face since it gets a little dusty on the trails, and if you like a rougher ride, grab a seat at the back. It is a must-do experience.

Kiki and Big Sexy were our guides and they did an excellent job of making sure that we had a fun and safe experience. The tour takes you to a few spots in the national park, there were caves, a beach and the pinnacle is the natural pool. On the way back they take you to a rock formation which was nice enough and had some of the local burrowing owls. The open air jeep was a fun ride and the views it takes you to are unbelievable. I would suggest this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy some of aruba's rugged beauty.
