Saved to wishlist!
Explore the natural beauty of the northern coast on a half-day Aruba ATV adventure, starting with hotel pickup and a safety briefing. All riders hop aboard Honda Ranchers 420cc's—then follow your guide in a caravan toward your ultimate destination.
A winding road leads to Alto Vista Chapel, built on the hilltop site of the island’s first Catholic church constructed in 1750. Snap photos of the shimmering Caribbean Sea from this beachside locale before continuing along the remote coastline.
Next up is Baby Natural Bridge, a 25-foot-long (8-meter) coral limestone formation sculpted by eons of wind. You also find hundreds of stone pyramids dotting a shoreline at a nearby wish garden where you can add your own devotional spire.
Continue on to the partial-stone wall ruins of Bushiribana, and learn about the abandoned mill that smelt three million pounds of gold during Aruba’s gold rush in the 19th century.
Refresh with bottled water and a leisurely swim amid tropical fish before re-boarding your ATV for the return trip, ending with drop-off at your hotel.

Itinerary
Start your tour with the first stop at the historic Chapel of Alto Vista. The yellow chapel of Alto Vista is considered to be the birthplace of Aruba's Catholic religion, the first Chapel to be built on the island by the Indians and the Spanish Pioneers in 1750. The chapel offers a sense of peacefulness to all those who enter its sacred doors to meditate and pray, with a beautiful landscape as its surroundings.

We include one of the most amazing historical landmarks of Aruba, which was once a prided mill that processed gold on the Island, Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins. Dating back to the 1400s when Aruba was being dug up for wealth and riches, the gold prospectors finally found gold mines and eventually constructed this fort-like mill out of stone boulders. Fun Fact: The mill was built to resemble a fort to scare away pirates!

Given the name by the small and shimmery black stones lining the coast, the Black Stone beach is the only beach in Aruba boasting "black sand". Added bonus is the Tripod Bridge located next to this beach, a rocky formation formed by thousands of years of pounding waves and strong waves that have chiseled away at the limestone cliffs along the North shore of Aruba.

Visit one of the most secluded beaches in Aruba. Known for its strong currents and waves it is famous with bodyboarders. While swimming and snorkeling is not recommended, it is known for its tranquility, its beautiful landscape (the beach is surrounded by limestone coast with ledges that offer shade) and the very clear water that is always moving.

Traveler Tips
- "Water shoes are recommended for the natural pool and something to look at all the fish." See review
- "I would definitely recommend wearing water shoes even though it's not required but once you get to that Natural Pool, the rocks are slippery and hard to walk on with bare feet." See review
- "If you're considering doing this, wear long sleeves and actual shoes and prepare to get super dusty." See review
