Responsible off-road exploring in Aruba
Aruba’s landscapes are fragile, so responsible off-road exploring is important. Stay on marked trails, follow your guide’s instructions, respect restricted areas, and keep a safe distance from wildlife. Always take your trash with you. To protect Arikok National Park, UTVs and ATVs are not allowed inside the park — only jeeps, cars, hiking, or biking are permitted on designated routes.
