What you'll do

The Natural Pool and Indian Cave Jeep Safari is a guided half-day run into Arikok National Park in an open-air 4x4, not a hike. ABC Tours Aruba drives and guides; you ride. The caravan stops at the Ayo rock formation, crosses the park, and drops down to Conchi, the Natural Pool, where a wall of volcanic rock shelters the water while the swell breaks over the far rim. About 100 steps lead down to the pool, and swimming happens when the sea allows it, never on a promise. The route also takes in the Indian caves, the Fontein garden and Dos Playa on the windward coast. The morning departure ends with a local lunch; the afternoon departure does not include one. Product facts checked September 12, 2026 against the operator's own Viator listing.

Prefer to reach Conchi under your own steam? Our guide walks through all four ways in, including the hike from Daimari and what a self-drive 4x4 really involves: Is the Natural Pool worth it, and how to get there.

Why it's on the Playbook

This is the riding version of the Conchi day, not the walking one. An open-air 4x4 carries you across Arikok to the Ayo rocks, the Indian caves, the Fontein garden and Dos Playa, and down to the Natural Pool, where volcanic rock shelters the water while the swell breaks over the far rim. Swimming depends on the sea on the day and nobody can promise it. Two things worth knowing before you book: the Arikok entrance fee is $25 per person at check-in on top of the ticket, and only the morning departure includes lunch.

Pro tip

You ride, you do not hike: the walking on this tour is the stops themselves, plus about 100 steps down to the pool and back up. Bring a towel, swimwear, a change of clothes and a driver's licence, and budget the $25 park fee per person at check-in. The operator does not take passengers from Carnival cruise ships.
