Donovan was our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the island. Really enjoyed the tour, went to the pool area and then to the caves. Baby beach was the last stop! Had a blast! Highly recommend the tour!

My husband and I chose the Half Day National Park and Baby Beach Tour. I have been to Aruba several times but my husband was a newbie! So I wanted him to see the National Park side of the island and Baby Beach. We stayed on Eagle Beach but I wanted him to see more of the island. This tour was perfect! A few of the highlights of the National Park including the caves and natural fresh water spring. Perfect for him to see the arid dessert beauty that is Arikok National park. We ended the tour with an hour at Baby Beach. Great snorkeling there and great for families with children as it’s shallow and protected. Our tour guide Jess was good! Answered all our questions and gave us good information about the island and the park. He was prompt on pick up time at our hotel and was a safe driver and navigated the island with ease and knowledge. I recommend this tour for anyone looking to get a good idea of the National Park and one of the many beautiful beaches of Aruba. You also got to ride through several neighborhoods of the island and see a lot. Quite a bit packed into just a few hours!

Went on the full island tour and had a blast! With Cross Aruba Tours you’re able to see the island from a different perspective with a local who is very knowledgeable. Our guide was Donovan, who was super friendly and made sure we were all having a good time during our tour.
