    De Palms tours has the friendliest staff ever. They are all nice a d make you feel right at home. We did the UTV tour and it was so so fun! Half day was 4 hours and they have a full day that’s like 6 but the half day was perfect. Took us on rocky terrain and to natural bridges and finally to a beach. Great experience and would recommend to anyone. FYI you will be soaked in mud like soaked so wear clothes you don’t care that much about.

    Was not worth the money. Constantly putting you behind a pay wall. Everything is an upsell.

    My fiancé and I did the half Day UTV Tour. Amazing experience filled with beautiful views from start to finish. The tour guides were cool sadly I forgot their names. I would highly recommend doing this excursion when visiting Aruba. The best part is riding on the coast while the sun is setting its absolutely breathtaking😩

    We recently booked 2 different excursions with De Palm Tours -De Palm Island visit w/ bus transportation -Natural Pool Off-Road Adventure Both were absolutely fantastic!! Would highly recommend and would do it again!! De Palm Island: -Bus transportation was a huge help since we didn't have a rental car -Booking our private cabana on the flamingo beach was well worth it for our large group. We practically had the sea to ourselves in this spot as most people in the private area didn't swim. Bar tender was super friendly & sweet and accommodating. Made us feel extra special! We also got the opportunity to get great pics with the flamingos once they released them to the beach at 2pm -Kids loved the water slides & water park - it was nice to have something fun & different for them to do while visiting Aruba. No lines to wait in for the slides! -Banana Boat ride was so fun and we had no wait at all to get on! -Food & Drinks were delicious!! Our family of 9 all enjoyed it! -Snorkeling was incredible!! So many big & colorful fish. We were all in awe with how great it was! -Just wish we didn't have to board the boat at 3:45 - could have easily spent a couple more hours there since there's so much to do. Natural Pool Off-Road Tour: -First and foremost - Ivo is the BEST! He brought so much fun, positive energy, and happiness to the tour. He really brought this tour to LIFE!! -All the drivers were professional, friendly and great -Got to see the lighthouse, chapel, natural bridge, and natural pool.. had 45 min. to explore/swim in the natural pool -They are NOT kidding when they say it's a bumpy ride.. VERY bumpy but super fun! They are not joking when they say do not recommend if you have back/neck issues - as it truly is very bumpy. -Spectacular views of the natural side of the island. I personally wouldn't feel the most comfortable driving myself there on these rocky & hilly off road paths .. so this is the way to go! -They provided waters to drink & snorkel gear -They gave info & history at each stop and were always available to take pictures of you

    This was one of our favourite activities we did during our trip, the staff was upbeat, fun and always smiling. The snorkelling was the best I’ve done, we checked out a sunken ship, which was awesome, but our favourite stop had to be seeing the sea turtles. Highly recommend doing this one for anyone who hasn’t yet, thanks for everything it was great!

    I booked the Safari tour to the Natural Pool and enjoyed every part of it. Our guide Gigi made our experience fun and at the same time very informative. The other guides that were part of our group were also highly entertaining and helpful! I would book with their team on my next trip to Aruba. Great job guys. We hope to see you again soon!

    We visited De Palm Island at the end of March 2023. The island was awesome! We were picked up from our resort on one of De Palms buses. When we arrived at the dock we were promptly checked in and hopped on the boat. Once we arrived were were escalated to our cabana in the flamingo beach area. We opted to upgrade for this option because interacting with the flamingos was on the top of my list. It was nothing short of amazing! We take part in the waterslides and also went into the snorkeling area where we got to see more tropical fish than I could count. The food one the island was really good as well as the drinks! The only thing we didn’t get the chance to do was to ride on the banana boat, but the people we saw riding seemed to be really entertained. We would highly recommend making a stop here when in Aruba!

    We bought the tour to De Palm Island. I bus pick you up at your hotel then you get a ferry which is safe about 15min to the Island. I travel with 2 kids. When you get to the island you pick up the blue chair you do not need to buy cabana or anything check first if those blue chairs are available. When I went we have plenty of space to sit, so you save a money there. they have a water park small but good for the kids in the other side the have a water slide very fun. Few flamingos in an area about 8 to be exact. The have snack including in the entrance price such as chicken tender, burgers fries, open bar and drink all day except the shakes about 13 dollars.

    The Jeep tour was the wildest, dustiest, bumpiest, windiest, most adventurous thing I’ve ever done in my whole life! Ziggy & Clivens were our tour guides and they made it such a fun and memorable day! Great job to both of them!! They warned us up front how bumpy it would be - and they weren’t joking! (If you have physical limitations, I would pick a different tour.) If you want to see the real, raw, wild, beautiful island of Aruba and you can’t miss this Jeep tour! Thank you, Ziggy & Clivens!!

    My business partner and phenomenal husband and I decided to experience this adventure and it ended up being one of the best parts of our time in Aruba. Theo, our excursion bus driver was very prompt as he arrived at the exact time our reservation had stated. He was pleasant and started our adventure off to a great start. When we arrived at De Palm, the gentleman who guided the tours were warm, friendly, and funny. The bathrooms were clean too, which is always a plus. We came prepared with water shoes, but we needed goggles, which we purchased there. They provided a face/head covering which was very much appreciated. We were split in groups and we were part of the group to be lead by the amazing Clivens. He made the trip sooo much fun! So our jeep ride,once we arrived at the national park to see the natural pool, was like a roller coaster due to being in the desert. I love roller coasters so I was having the time of my life. He shared later that they gauge the group and if they have young children or older adults, they drive slower and more delicately. He gave our group a good time!!! He also stopped to give us an opportunity to take pictures. Once we arrived at the natural pool, we were all awestruck by its natural beauty. The water was refreshingly cool and the swim was enjoyable. After the natural pool experience, it was time to drive the UTVs. Clivens led us on an exhilarating adventure and we got to see the natural bridge, the California lighthouse, and gorgeous views of the beautiful island. Clivens was amazing and so much fun!!! Our bus driver on the way back to the hotel (apologies as his name slips my mind) was also excellent and friendly. The UTV driving was a highlight!! Just prepare to get dirty!!! We highly recommend this excursion!!

    My husband and I had a fantastic time. Our tour included the all day UTV tour with snorkeling, a nice lunch, and a grand tour of Aruba; which included traveling on rough terrarian, paved streets, mud, rain, sunshine... We experienced it all in one day! We enjoyed the UTV's. Loved it!!! Our tour guide was Joel. He was very knowledgeable and knew the island well. We learned quite a bit of history about certain landmarks and Aruba. We'll definitely be back again soon!!!

  • 5/5 Miguel R. 3 years ago on Google
    Best to reserve online at their site for their 25% off discount. Matthew and Donald were our tour guides, very friendly and attentive. The utvs were really fun, they are set to go 40mph an hour. The ride started at 2:30pm and ended around 6:30pm, we visited Arikok national park, snorkled at the natural pool, saw the bushiribana gold ruins, and the Alto vista chapel. This is a must do in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Kalie H. 3 years ago on Google
    Ricardo and David were awesome! Apart from being knowledgeable tour guides, they were just a blast to go on the UTV tour with. They were informative at every stop, at the same time being fun and hysterical. When it comes to De Palm tours, I would highly recommend requesting Ricardo and David as your tour guides. They encompass the friendly spirit that is Aruba!

  • 5/5 Mckinley W. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome tour with great tour guides. Just make sure you come prepared for all the dust. But the UTV tour was super fun.

  • 5/5 Kaitlin K. 4 years ago on Google
    The snorkel tour was awesome. They come and pick you up at your hotel and take you back after the tour. The tour stops at three snorkel spots. The first one is at the ship wreck. The ship is awesome to see. Keep in mind this is the hardest to snorkel at as the current is very very strong with the wind. The next snorkel spots are much calmer and more relaxing to snorkel at. While cruising to the snorkel spots you are offered snacks when you arrive such as fruit and sandwiches and of course the full bar. Lunch is good too as it’s a hot lunch buffet with dessert. It was a great time. I enjoyed see the ship wreck and seeing the coastline along the island.

  • 5/5 Barbara A. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I did the UTV tour and had a wonderful time. Our tour guides Mathew and Luis were phenomenal and funny. The tour was well explained and handled with the Covid situation. I highly recommend this tour for any age, in my opinion it's worth your money.

  • 5/5 Avri D. 3 years ago on Google
    I can’t say enough good things about our UTV tour with De Palms. Our guides were fun and professional (s/o to Donald and Albert). The guides were very knowledgeable of all our questions and were prepared to handle any issue that could arise when driving UTVs through rough terrain. They even squeezed in some extra stops since our group moved quick!!

  • 5/5 Greg W. 3 years ago on Google
    The sunset cruise was amazing me and my friend thoroughly. Thanks to the captain in the crew for making the adventure safe and fun.

  • 5/5 Kristen S. 3 years ago on Google
    We took the UTV tour this past month. It was a blast! Matthew and Gio(vanni) were so cool and fun loving. My husband and I really enjoyed their humor and adventurous spirit. I loved the National Park tour and snorkeling. It was pretty dusty and we both wished we had sprung for the goggles that they sell for $10 before you start the tour. Would have been worth it. I made my husband drive the whole time because the dust was too much for my eyes. Get the goggles! They do provide a free neck bandana thing that helps. It was so much fun; I'm so glad we took a chance on this excursion.

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 3 years ago on Google
    My husband and I went on the half-day UTV tour and had an absolute blast. We saw parts of the island we wouldn't have seen on foot or by car. Our guides-- Oco, Willem and Jaime-- were super friendly, informative and funny! Best tour & excursion provider in Aruba.

  • 5/5 Leigh B. 3 years ago on Google
    This tour was wonderful! Our guide, Benjamin , was very knowledgeable and told many great stories. He was very generous with his time and I felt like I really understood Aruba and its culture. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Iraida A. 3 years ago on Google
    We had an absolute blast on our half day UTV adventure. The tour guides are great and the destinations on our trip were amazing. If you want to get to know the land of Aruba and you enjoy exploring I recommend this your group. Alfred is the best!

  • 5/5 Kim K. 3 years ago on Google
    We did three excursions and the airport shuttle service by De Palm while here in Aruba. We used the express shuttle and we were the only ones in our van. I wish I could remember the driver’s name because he was very pleasant and gave us tidbits of info along the route. We did the Sea Explorer tour with Angie, she was wonderful! Very happy, knowledgeable, and quick with the jokes! Mac was our guide on the Natural Pool Off-Road Safari. He was amazing! Very funny and knowledgeable, and he definitely had us bouncing around in the back of that oversized off-road vehicle. This is a rough ride, make no mistake about it. Very fun and worth every penny (even though we didn’t get to go swimming in the natural pool because the surf was CRAZY that day!). We also did the De Palm Island tour. We were supposed to do the snuba but it turns out that if you take bp meds, you can’t snuba so we were offered the Sea Trek as an alternative. This was amazing! Very fun and incredible experience. We saw the 12 flamingos, that was neat. The rest of the island, with the exception of the gift shop, was closed. Disappointing for sure.

  • 5/5 Lydia B. 3 years ago on Google
    THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I had the pleasure of take 2 different tours with Donald Rombley and he is the most amazing tour guide! Such a fun family experience and we meet great people who quickly became good friends! Definitely the best tours on the whole island!

    We did the UTV tour with MaTThew and Gio today, 7-10-20. They were both great and informative. Not only will you get to see Aruba you will feel it as well. This company is top notch, one UTV broke down on the tour and at our next stop there was his replacement sitting there ready for him. Top notch service all around..

  • 1/5 Milton G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I only used the transfer. I know q in other countries tipping is normal. But on the bus it is written that the transfer fee does not include the driver's kickback. I found this warning unnecessary, as the tourist gives the bribe if he wishes. Care for those staying at the renasseince Marina hotel, as the transfer back to the airport is done at the other renasseince island hotel which is uncomfortable, despite having a cart that takes you from the Marina to another hotel. This is not a whim. But there is no point in making a transfer at another hotel that you are not staying at. Logistics issue poorly elaborated by the company. Seco.onibus no.can enter the front of the hotel at a certain time, the company should offer another type of logistics. That question is unpleasant. Everyone complains about it. I don't know how the transfer takes place at the other hotels. Their service is problematic .... (Original) Só utilizei o transfer. Sei q em outros países a gorjeta é normal. Mas no ônibus está escrito que o valor do transfer não inclui a propina do motorista. Achei desnecessário esse aviso, pois o turista dá a propina se desejar. Cuidqdo para quem se hospedar no hotel renasseince Marina, pois o transferi da volta para o aeroporto é feito no outro hotel renasseince island o que chega a ser desconfortável, não obstante ter um carrinho q te leva do Marina ao.outro hotel. Não se trata de capricho. Mas não tem cabimento realizar um transfer em outro.hotel q você não esteja hospedado. Questão de logística mal elaborada pela empresa. Seco.onibus não.pode entrar na frente do hotel em determinado horário, a empresa deveria oferecer outro tipo de logística. Desagradável essa questão. Todos reclamam a esse respeito. Não sei como ocorre o transfer nos outros hotéis. O atendimento deles é problemático....

    We had a good experience using the De Palm airport transportation bus but had a bad experience with the De Palm concierge at our hotel (Divi Dutch). The entire time we were at our hotel we seemed to always miss the concierge lady. She was never there when we went to get help from her. I called to confirm our time for the trip back to the airport and they told me that I must to to my hotels De Palm concierge person to do so. That morning I went over to talk to her before we had to leave for a tour and she was not there. When I got back from my tour that day she was still unreachable. This worried my husband and I, due to the fact that our airport transfer was still not confirmed. The Divi Dutch front desk said that we could meet with her at 830 in the am the day we were living. We arrived at that time and were able to finally meet the De Palm concierge (lavonne)and all she did was stare when I handed her our return ticket to schedule. She was extremely rude and lectured us on how we should not have been scheduling this the day of. We had no other choice since we tried two days ago and even called but had no luck. She continued to lecture and give us an attitude even after I told her our effort to try to schedule sooner. Without that encounter it would have been great! Just didn’t care for the

    Fun day at De Palm Island snorkeling, eating and hanging out. We got the private palapa with the private entrance into the snorkeling area. It was totally worth the extra money. We had a great day and would do it again!

    (Translated by Google) Seaworld Explorer Semi-Submarine tour Nice trip, Friendly staff and very helpful. Expectation was greater than the experience, but nice in itself once arrived at the Semi-Submarine and the official tour started was mediocre, sailing above the wreck was impressive but the visibility was not good everywhere (cloudy) Sometimes it was a bit better and you had a better view, maybe it was due to the weather or maybe also when the boat was moving, due to the thrust caused by the screw effect, occasionally you saw a school of fish to come, nice to see when you came closer, the view was somewhat limited unfortunately! (Original) Seaworld Explorer Semi-Submarine tour Aardig tripje, Vriendelijk personeel en erg behulpzaam. Verwachting was groter dan de beleving, op zich wel leuk maar eenmaal aangekomen bij de Semi-Submarine en de officiële tour begon was middelmatig, varend boven het wrak was dan wel imposant maar het zicht was niet overal goed (troebel) Soms was het iets beter en had je wat beter zicht, misschien heeft het aan het weer gelegen of misschien ook wel als de boot zich ging verplaatsen, door de stuwing wat wordt veroorzaakt door het schroefeffect, af en toe zag je dan een school vissen voor bij komen, mooi om te zien als je dichterbij kwam, het zicht was wat beperkt helaas!

    We had a freaking blast with these guys on our UTV tour around the desert side of the island. Went for our honeymoon and this was a highlight. We had a blast stopping at the natural pool which gets packed. And stopping along and grabbing a beer at the food truck. It’s a long trip and we came back a little sore but it was worth every minute. Do this!

    We spent 11 days in Aruba in December 2020 for the first time and it was the most beautiful island we have ever vacationed on. I recommend De Palm Tours to any visitor and our remarkable, energetic, kind, funny, intelligent, COVID safe, tour guide DONALD made our UTV half day experience an A+++. Our next vacation to Aruba in 2021 we will do the UTV half day tour again and will definitely ask for DONALD. De Palm Tours.... great experience!!!!!!!!

    Mr. Roland was the best driver and guide. I love his energy. The ride up is really rocky & bouncy & topsy turvy so wear your seat belt. Although, I never once felt unsafe. I recommend water shoes for the natural pool as the rocks are pretty slippery. The men who work there are very aware of the terrain under the water and guide your steps. Mr. Roland swims like a fish as do the other men who work for the park and the company. They cater to those who are less experienced in the water. Even if you don’t swim, it’s beautiful to just sit on the rocks and chill. Breathtaking! He pointed out the northern coast of South America. Yes you can see it off in the distance. Get fresh coconut at the chapel or at the lighthouse and talk with the friendliest and knowledgeable locals. This was the best part of my trip and Mr. Roland is my favorite Aruban, hands down! It’s a great way to see a great amount the island. Lots of info, laughs and just happy spirits all around...perfect tour!

    Booked a SNUBA package for me and my wife and we couldn’t be happier!! They picked us up right at our hotel and took us to the boat ferry that would take us to the island (about a 30 min drive) Astrid was our boat captain who took us to Palm Island, and couldn’t have been nicer. Once we got to the island, Jonathan was terrific and helped us with everything. For our SNUBA, our instructor was Greg and he was absolutely fantastic. I never went SNUBA diving before and it Greg walked us through exactly what we needed to do until we were pros. Just breathing under the water and seeing all the beautiful fish and coral and a giant manta ray...absolutely breathtaking!! After SNUBA - did some snorkeling on our own. Then after everything that they took us back to our hotel in a beautiful air conditioned bus! Can’t say enough nice things!!! Highly recommend !!! AAAA+++++

    I would not do off road tour again. We had fun in the natural pool however the trip getting there was tretchous and at times unsafe. The lady who booked us did not prepare us for such a nauseating ride, also didn't tell us about the need for water shoes. Dmetri and Williams did an amazing job pointing out things. I'm not a strong swimmer and Demetri stayed with me the entire time at the natural pool. Great experience at the pool.

    We did the Natural Pool Off-Road Safari with De Palm tours. Our driver was David. This is in the open-air Jeep. They need a certain number of people in the Jeep in order to weigh it down. I found out that 12 people cancelled that day because they found out that they couldn't swim in the pool. I don't know how they found out, but I wished we would have known. But, I don't blame the driver for that. That is out of his control and is something the local agent that booked our trip should have informed us about. They can call the Natural Pool place to find out. David was entertaining and knowledgeable and cared about the safety of the group. When we got to the pool and found out we couldn't go, David offered either 40 minutes there just looking at the pool or 40 minutes offroading. Someone in the group suggested 20 minutes there looking at the pool and 20 minutes somewhere else. We though of a beach stop and I had read from another review that the driver took them to a great snorkel spot, so we did 20 minutes at a beach. Well, what I didn't know was that many of the stops you would just sit in the Jeep for minute while the driver talked about the spot, and then move on. When we went to the lighthouse we literally drove by it. We never got out. When we stopped at the Gold Mill we just stopped, never got out, and drove on. If you want pictures then hopefully you are on the appropriate side since the driver didn't turn the Jeep around so everyone could get pictures. The last beach stop (that we used the 20 minutes for) was just down from our hotels at Palm Beach and had bad waves and it was as the sun was setting. We can see sunsets from all of our hotels on Palm Beach. There was no snorkeling here due to the waves and only one person in our group actually got in. Had I known this would be the beach stop and had I known we wouldn't stop, I would have suggested stops at a couple places instead of just passing by. The driver could have suggested that too instead of just "more offroading" since two people on the trip were sensitive to motion sickness. The driver also could have explained that the beach stop would be at the end and just down from our hotels in Palm Beach. Pay attention to when it says "pass by" on their website. If you want to actually stop at those sites, book another tour.

    My wife and I did the UTV tour with De Palm Tours. It was FANTASTIC!!!!! Our guide was Jonathan and he was amazing. If you can request him, please do so. He's very informative, very caring and makes sure to go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. My wife had difficulty with the UTV a couple of times, and he was very patient and supportive to help guide her through process. The views on the tour are breathtaking. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends. My wife and I will be back to Aruba and will definitely do the UTV tour again.

    Enjoyed the ATV ( UTV) rides, wish we could have stopped at a few more places along the way. Outside of that, everything was excellent.

    If the Renaissance Resort is giving you a hard time to see their flamingos this is a great alternative. If you sign up online there’s a 10 % off coupon. Travel to De Palm Island is all inclusive. The drinks and food are inclined in the price. This is well worth the price.

    We did a sunset cruise, it was sooo much fun! It was open bar and appetizers, great dance music and there were only about 30 people which was nice. The staff made this trip as much fun as it was, dancing, serving food and were just wonderful!! My only concern is the drop off area. You have to walk down a long dark alley to get back to the bus. In general aruba is safe, but it really gave you an eerie feeling.

    My mom and I went on the snorkeling trip from 9-1 and it was amazing! The music and food were great! The staff were very welcoming and accommodating! While snorkeling, we saw turtles, sea urchins, and lots of fish! I would really recommend going on this snorkeling trip!!

    My wife and I did a Jeep Cave tour with Gio as our guide. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable of the history of Aruba, the National Park and more importantly, the caves we went to see. It was a half day tour that took us from the hotel to multiple locations, getting out to see the sites and drink in the history of the beautiful Island of Aruba. We would highly recommend any tour where Gio is your guide.

    ARUBA!!! My husband & I signed up for the 5 hour UTV excursion experience that went to the lighthouse and the natural pool by the ocean. We had Mathew & Ivo as tour guides. They were nothing short of AMAZING. They had the best jokes, kept the atmosphere fun, and had everyone laughing and smiling the whole time. They definitely personified the motto of "one happy island" in ARUBA. This was one of the highlights of our trip.

  • 4/5 Luis De A. 2 years ago on Google
    We did the UTV experience. Great tour and the tour guide (Matthew with double TT) was even better. Great time overall. Did not feel rushed. Be ready to get dirty during the UTV ride. But it was a lot of fun.

    We had an amazing time on this tour. Our host was informative, funny, careful and patient. We also used their airport transfer services. Definitely worth it. See you again soon Aruba and De Palm.

    I couldn’t have asked for better tour guides- Willie and Sergio. They are sweethearts. They took photos of everyone with our own cameras. Willie was very calming when I jumped of the rocks into the water. I am scared of heights but I wanted to experience every part of our trip. It was the ATV 4hr Excursion. If you’re looking for a mellow ride through the hillside this is not for you. I had a ball experiencing my first ATV driving experience. It was fast and bumby. It was quick at the first 3 sites but then at the natural beach you got to swim, snorkel and enjoy the views. We had an awesome time!

  • 5/5 Joyce W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing excursion!! Ritchie and Chris (pictured) were absolutely amazing!! We had such an amazing time on this adventure...4 different stops including climbing the lighthouse!! Can't say enough good things about this place. You'll regret it if you don't partake... we went thru every mud puddle we could and got so muddy. It was great, everybody else in the group were clean and avoiding the mud!! 3.5 hrs of exhilerating awesome UTV riding and they give you a buff.

    Originally we were trying to find a tour company that was “smaller” so we could support a family/small business. It also helped us save some money. Well, that small business was over 30 minutes late picking us up and kept making excuses until we just canceled. We talked to our amazing navigator at our resort and he instantly helped us re do our plans. We did 4 tours through de palm (jeep, UTV, submarine, and sunset cruise) ALL were amazing!! They were always on time, professional yet had great humor, and gave great advice about the island. Jonathan did an amazing job with the UTV tour and he was very personable! Clive a (and the others) made the off road jeep tour exciting even though it decided to rain! They were all amazing drivers and I hands down will always go through De Palm for our tours from now on. THANK YOU!!! Thank you for being reliable and thank you to all your employees for being kind, helpful, and just over all have a great sense of humor! I’m so excited to start planning another trip to this amazing island.

    We took our teen son and we are still talking about the FUN we had on this tour even long after! Our driver was fantastic and we missed no bump, or view. Even though it rained in the morning our trip still went and the only thing that happened which no one had control over were overly rough water conditions so, although we did no get to swim in the Natural Pool due to very rough water, we got some fantastic photo opportunities we might now have had. For me, that was perfection too! Take as few items as you can with you, and plenty of cash (bathroom stops, and refreshments, ) and a way to hold your phone. Because of the terrain, I'd suggest sturdier shoes (for getting to and from the Natural Pool the steps and walking area need steady footing and beneath the feet it can be rocky). But tanks, shirts, bathing suits, and portable towels (those that fold to nothing) are definitely great to have. Hats become an issue and might even become a 'fly away' (yep we lost one) when you are doing some fun fast runs via the vehicle on the beach. One thing, make sure you buckle up and do not sit in the very back unless you want to BOUNCE big (we did) and you will FLY out of your seats even buckled (all good but would not have smaller children in the last 2 rows IMO) The lighthouse area is gorgeuos and this adventure definitley allows you to experience more of Aruba than just sitting idly by the pool and calm waters, you get to see the natural rough beach areas, and the bridges, which allow for a different appreciation of Aruba. If you get to go through the restaurant to take photos you will be awe-stricken at the view, so do it! Now that we took the tour, next time we will just do the 4x4's on our own to try somehting fun from the same tour operator! ♥

    We did Natural Pool, California Lighthouse and Bridge UTV tour. I recommend paying $10 for the goggle. It was worth the money. The dusts will get on your clothes, your faces and will get under the sunglasses The ride was bumpy but very fun. The swimming at the Natural pool was unforgettable. Probably the best thing we did here in Aruba. Make sure to do a dive from the rock. Our Guide, Willie?, was fabulous. He was funny, witty and very informative. I highly recommend a UTV tour and be sure to ask for Willie. If i don't have his name right, look for the guy with long curly hair.

    My wife & I booked the Half day UTV & De Palm Island tour with Snorkeling. Our tour guides Richie & Ziggy made us feel so welcoming from beginning to the end. They were both the perfect blend of fun, professional, and informative. Aruba is beautiful and this tour really highlighted the island’s serenity. They recommended few local restaurants & we had amazing food. I highly recommend this excursion & look for Richie & Ziggy. It’s definitely worth the price.

    The sunset sail with De Palm was amazing. There are spectacular views, fun music, and great people aboard. The ship is very comfortable and even had a restroom down below for those who needed it after the included drinks and apps. Not only would I recommend this beautiful tour to anyone, I would go again myself in a heartbeat.

    My husband and I booked an excursion through Royal Caribbean that was done by De Palm Tours. The title was "Aruba's Natural Bridge, Butterflies, and Beach Break". We went to the natural bridge, the Butterfly Farm in Noords, and Eagle Beach. Everything was wonderful in terms of learning about the island and seeing the desert climate Aruba has to offer. I doc a star because we didn't get much time at the beach. Only one hour which led to no one jumping in the water since you need at least 40 minutes to dry off. And Eagle Beach was BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I decided to book a separate trip where we will have more beach time. Disappointed that we couldn't lounge around for longer.

  • 5/5 Mary B. 1 year ago on Google
    We enjoyed our halfday UTV tour. Glad my husband drove and we had buffs and glasses. East side of island is totally different from the west side. Loved swimming in the natural pool at the end.

  • 5/5 Lisa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty fantastic! They start pouring early hhahhaha the slides are super fun ...the views up there incredible......def try to see the flamingos.....and the snorkeling.......was way better than expected. I DO WISH...... they'd regulate a bit more to support the dying coral in the snorkel area .... I've been in places in the Caribbean they say NO SUNSCREEN....wear a shirt or what have you....bc people can't be trusted they have on REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN.

    We booked the HD UTV and Jeep Natural Pool combo from our RIU Hotel, the excursion was fantastic! They picked us up from our hotel, the 2 guides, Matthew and Dalfi explained everything in a fun postive way. They were excellent from beginning to end! We loved their banter, humorous and joyful attitudes. The UTV part was so much fun (I do strongly recommend purchasing the googles it was very dusty), we had a blast zipping through the dessert and oceanside, visiting the lighthouse and natural bridge. The Jeep in the National park to the natural pool was also bumpy but again, fun fun fun! The views of the city and ocean were breathtaking. Then walking down to the natural pool and snorkeling was again an exciting adventure. What a thrill! We highly recommend this trip, do not miss out on seeing beautiful Aruba!

    We did Palm Pleasure Snorkel Adventure and it was awesome!! Fun boat with open bar and delicious lunch provided. Crew were fun and very nice. Everyone had a great time. Well worth the money.

    I did the Atlantis submarine tour and it was great. The tour guide and Captain were cool. The views were otherworldly. As an ex-Navy guy I always wanted to go on a sub. Everyone got to see the same thing because they rotated. Worth every dollar for being able to say you were at the ocean floor.

  • 4/5 Glen S. 9 months ago on Google
    The boat ride out to De Palm Island and back was enjoyable, and the features and amenities of the island were nice enough, but the reason for our excursion was to see the flamingos. These poor birds were sequestered in a wooden enclosure and not allowed to mingle with their human admirers, as usual. We rented a private cabana, but management moved us twice to make it more convenient for the service staff. Even after the move, our server became increasingly scarce as the day progressed. Eventually, we had to go to the bar to serve ourselves.

    We loved touring with Jonathan! Ours was the 4.5 hr Jeep Safari tour, touring the NE coast from the Natural Cave to the Light house.

    Our family did the HD UTV and Jeep Natural Pool Combo on a Wednesday morning 4 hour trip and it was a great experience to see and learn so much about the history and culture of Aruba ! We took the UTV’s first to explore the rocky, bumpy, dusty- but yet beautiful views of the island and the Caribbean ocean and then our group switched to a Jeep to go through their National Park and to the natural pool to swim and snorkel- so much fun!! Our guide was Don….aka Donnie, Uncle D, Big D- he was AMAZING!! He made us laugh, made us feel comfortable and made stops at all the perfect picture stops and even took lots of pictures of us all!! You could tell he loves his job and the people he meets!! Very enjoyable experience and very organized!! Highly recommend if your are adventurous! You will want to purchase the goggles at the start of the trip- $$ well spent! Thanks Big D!!

    My family did a utv tour with De Palm Tours while we were in Aruba. This tour was amazing. The best part was our tour guide Albert. He was very detailed in showing us the island and made us laugh as well. This tour was the best part of our trip. Thank you Albert for your hospitality.

  • 5/5 Lauren T. 6 months ago on Google
    We had such a blast on our off-roading tour to the natural pool, bridge, and lighthouse. Gigi was our tour guide and made this experience full of laughs and adventure. Would 100% recommend this tour if you’re looking for some adventure on the island!

  • 5/5 Terra D. 6 months ago on Google
    We had so much fun on our tour! Jerod was our tour guide and he was a blast! We were told by everyone we knew, before heading to Aruba, if we do one thing it’s go on the UTV tour! We’re so glad we did! Even the bumpy Jeep ride was fun.

  • 5/5 Mae M. 5 months ago on Google
    If you're looking for a UTV excursion that you will never forget request Matthew and Jared!!! They are the best guides anyone can ever ask for!!! Team Dukes loved every moment of the trip!!!! Thanks fellas💛💛

  • 5/5 Steve T. 5 months ago on Google
    Gio and Mac were the best tour guides ever. We had so much fun. I would have skipped the lighthouse and chapel to have more time at the donkey sanctuary and baby Beach but overall the experience was fantastic. Thank you.
