This was an awesome tour! Victor kept us engaged, entertained and educated throughout! The ride to the natural pool is pure chaos, but I loved the bouncing around! Be aware that there is a large flight of stairs leading down to the pool, and what goes down must come back up 🤣 the pool itself was nice and not overly crowded. The caves were cool to see and get a history on. The bats were minimal and didn't bother us. The fish pedicure was an unexpected little treat. I had a great time and would HIGHLY recommend hanging with Victor!

Amazing! Highly recommend! Wonderful tour guide Marcel! I went on the Jeep tour to Natural Pool & Caves Off-Road Safari. And our tour guide Marcel was the best! We got to see the beautiful rock formations at Ayo, the beautiful caves and of course the natural pool. Marcel took some really great pictures and made us laugh a lot! We even enjoyed the ride to the natural pool, it was a little; as Marcel would say “ bumby bumby, shakey shakey” but it was really fun. We got cold water! And some nice granola bars which were really great! So we really got cared for. Even though the natural pool was closed that day, Marcel took us to baby beach so we could still go out for a swim! He even had snorkels if you were up for a snorkel adventure. Marcel was really kind, thoughtful and really considerate of our safety. We even got a quick tour in the jeep from Aruba while we went back our the pick up places. I got to see more than expected, have beautiful pictures and I had a good laugh! I would highly recommend this tour and hopefully you also get a wonderful tour guide like Marcel!

The boat feels fantastic. It's sturdy and clean. The crew are amazing hosts. We did the snorkeling cruise. The highlight of the trip was seeing cuddlefish and two sea turtles. The wreckage of the Antila is incredible to view once you wrap your head around the size.
