This is one of my favorite places to visit in Aruba. If you are visiting the island don't leave this park out of your plans. The experience to see natural habitat if unique. Make sure to ask the staff in the visitor center for information. They are kind friendly respectful and resourceful. Enjoy the visit!

An absolutely must visit When you come to Aruba. This park reminded me of a tropical Joshua tree is very arid it's almost like a desert but it's on the ocean. There are huge cliffs caves windmills all kinds of natural pools It's an absolutely gorgeous park.

Really raw, gorgeous natural National park. Best seen by ATV. Had a rental car and was really limited on how much I could view due to narrow, rocky, dirt roads. Really loved how beautiful Arikok is!

This was truly an amazing experience. The caves were really cool, you have to see the beaches and the mountains. You definitely need a vehicle that has 4 wheel drive and high clearance. The hiking can be tough but a must see. The employees were really friendly and helpful. We learned so much from Robert about the park and also the whole island. He made the experience so well worth it. Thank you!!

If you are going to spend the day here , be aware that you cannot enter with an ATV , a jeep is acceptable but a small rental car will work just use caution on the roads. Plan on spending an entire day because the park has plenty to offer.

Do yourself a favor- rent a 4x4 and spend a few hours going through every bit of this park. It’ll be worth it, I promise! It’s beautiful and there’s a lot to see. And if you’re like me, you’ll want to get out the car to see them all so make sure you have enough time to do so. There are sand dunes, cliffs, tide pools, beaches, caves; you name it. My whole family had a blast just exploring and we’d do it all again.

This is a must do and can be done individually or as a guided tour. We went on our own in a little rental car and found there were a few areas we could not get to due to the rough terrain. However we were able to park our car and walk to many of these spots. The roads are rough and not well marked so if on your own be sure to have your gps available. Also, be sure to have comfortable walking shoes and plenty of water. There are a lot of beautiful spots and unique things to see. Our only regret was that we started our visit in the afternoon and were pressed for time to get to see everything. Recommended going in morning for this reason. Its worth the entrance fee.

I visited this place with some friends not so long ago and let me tell you..it was very beautiful. I enjoyed being in the nature like that. I can't explain how I felt but all I know it that I felt great and I recommend going so you can feel it too. Tip: Rent a car that you can go off-road with.

Aruba in all of it's natural beauty. Natural beauty doesn't mean lush flower gardens and towering royal palms... it means all of the natural things that God used to form this island, volcanic rock, lime stone, sea shells, and a few creatures every now and then. Some may call the terrain barren, but I see the natural beauty of the land, untouched by man! And that is a Good thing! We had a marvelous time exploring what God has placed here!

Well the park is absolutely amazing. A must visit with so many attractions. We rented a 4x4 jeep so we could drive ourselves to the Conchi Pool. Fun drive and beautiful pool. All the people driving jeeps were courteous and respectfuk of the other drivers. HOWEVER, the little local tour guides driving the open air multi passenger ATV'S were rude, pushy and disrespectful in their driving......a real letdown! They also brandished their own trails. I don't see why the park allows them access. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

The entrance is $20/person and its worth it! Go see the windmills and spend the day exploring this natural national park. Make sure you bring your own water bottle! There are some portable restrooms, but nothing to drink or eat. You can drive your own (rental) vehicle or there are tours that will take you. Remember to leave no trace behind.

A stunning place to explore the nature and wildlife of Aruba. Wonderful caves, beautiful birds, natural pools or bridges and much more....but for some places a 4 wheel drive is mandatory.

Great place to explore. Totally recommend renting a Jeep and driving at your own leisure. Driving is not for the faint-of-heart though. So much fun!

Aruba is doing an awesome job with conservation! Arikok National Park covers approximately 23% of the island, and it is definitely worth the visit. A conservation day pass (in 2023) costs USD15 per person (18+) and is free for kids 17 yrs and younger. There is so much to see that can easily take up a day of exploring. A must do when in Aruba.

Great day with the family at the natural pool and caves. You need a jeep and a great driver. It’s a crazy drive! But so fun to experience

We took our own Jeep and it was amazing! We found tons of spots just following random roads to great views and amazing pictures. I recommend getting your own vehicle to explore on your own

(Translated by Google) An interesting park.Before starting the tour, it is good to visit the museum.We liked the Caves.We did not get to a natural pool, since the road is not easy for any car.You can only go with a Jeep.Recommendation to bring enough drinking water, Since they can suffer dehydration, if they spend a lot of time in the park. The sun hits hard, the place is open. Unique landscapes! (Original) Un parque interesante.Antes de empezar el recorrido,bueno visitar el museo.Nos gustaron las Cuevas.A piscina natural no llegamos,ya que camino no es fácil para cualquier auto.Solo se puede ir con un Jeep.Recomendacion llevar suficiente agua potable,ya que pueden sufrir deshidratación,si pasan mucho tiempo en el parque.Sol pega fuerte,lugar es abierto.Paisajes únicos!

We rented a jeep and had a blast. The off roading very rugged but the coastline is so beautiful. Entrance fee was $11 per person. We saw a few people hiking but they were very hot. Personally I would recommend the jeep because there is no shade and the heat would be overwhelming. We were on a cruise ship and in Aruba for the day.

This is a must see attraction in Aruba! Especially if you have a family or like hiking and outdoor adventures! We had a blast! Be sure and rent a 4 x 4 jeep its totally worth it! I highly recommend it 👌 👍

Our trip to Aruba was amazing. Making us looking forward for the next visit. The Arikok national park is worth seeing. We toured it ourselves, the caves are incredible to experience and the ocean views are breathtaking. We had a rental car and couldn't see some areas cause of the terrains. Renting a 4x4 next time. Bring a camera, water or a cooler it's hot, especially in the cave. XL media tv, we documented Aruba well. Stay tune.

So much to see and do. We rented a 4 wheel drive jeep as our rental and used it to go on the 4x4 trails. Had Dos Playa to ourselves for lunch. Came back the next to checkout the caves and some of the other sites.

You must go, so many cool things to see and do, caves, natural pools, crazy beaches. Its a gem!

This park contains abundant natural places, its flora and fauna captivate first class. There is no photograph that captures so much majesty. ideal for tours of more than four hours to enjoy every detail and not miss a thing

Nice park with beaches, caves, cliffs, windmills, hills. I love caves, and I was surprised to see such amazing, beautiful, even in some way colorful caves. One of them was historical too. We visited the place on a regular sedan, so we couldn't go to the natural water pool Conchi, but we did climb till Arikok Hill on our car. Wasn't easy the last portion of it, was very stony even though map showed as a drivable on a regular car. Only 4or vehicles can go from Arikok hill till Conchi, but visually as far as we could see the road seemed better than climbing to the Arikok hill, but we decided not to take chance and went back. Visiting center was nice, clean, personel friendly. They sell coffee, sandwiches, snacks over there, there are sitting areas. If someone likes nature and adventure, great place to visit.

(Translated by Google) Nice park to have seen when you are in Aruba anyway. I would say just go. Recommended! 😎 (Original) Leuk park om gezien te hebben als je dan toch op Aruba bent.Ik zou zeggen gewoon heengaan.Aanrader!😎

This beautiful National Park in Aruba comprises almost 20% of the island. Enjoy gorgeous vistas of Aruba’s rugged terrain, desert-like hills filled with tall cacti, a breathtaking coastline and protected local flora and fauna.

Fun drive

If your car isn't a 4x4 please be careful driving up the mountain! This is a gorgeous national park with many things to see! Unfortunately, the park was closing when I arrived so I didn't get to see much! However, I did drive up the mountain to see the beach and parts of the caves! very cool experience!

We booked a tour through the Arikok park Aruba. with 2 jeeps on the road. Together with supervisors Jason & Jay from Fofoti tours. These men really know how to make something fun for the people. Lots of fun information. The lunch that was included in the tour was also very tasty! Definitely to recommend. The jeep tour is difficult for people with walking difficulties, if only to get into the jeep. Also difficult with small children, some terrain parts are bad and you bounce in the Jeep. we went to natural pool, then to the caves where a guide tells you about the history of Aruba. Then swim at Baby Beach at the end.

Very nice park! It's not very big, but you could easily spend a day here. Almost all of the park can be accessed with a regular 2 wheel drive vehicle, but some of the gravel roads are very rough. In particular, the gravel road to Dos Playa was probably at the upper limit of what you would feel safe doing with a conventional vehicle. If you're a little adventurous, it's completely doable. There is one small section of the park that you need a 4x4 vehicle for. In particular, the northern section of the park requires a true 4x4 vehicle. Unfortunately, you can't take a UTV or ATV, so if you want to visit the natural pool, you'll need to rent a 4x4 vehicle or go with a tour group. You could also just hike up there if you're okay hiking a few miles in the heat.

Great experience! If you don't want to do a tour it will be waaaay easier to use a jeep or a UTV/ATV. The views were absolutely gorgeous! If you're not a good driver I suggest doing a tour. It's a lot trying to navigate this park in the hot sun with a map. I had no signal out here so be careful if you'll be doing this and it's your first time.

Since it has been raining on and off, the park is completely green. Its very nice and untouched by human. Any nature lover, would enjoy it.

Wanted to visit the natural pool and swimming and snorkel. it was a nightmare. We were given multiple directions all of which proved worthless. Even the front desk misinformed us on how long hike was. Once we got close after 60 minutes of hiking we were told by another hiker it was closed due to high seas. We were still 30 minutes away. We turned back and gave up.

The natural pool here was great. Needed a Jeep to drive inside the park.

Must do in Aruba. $11 USD per person access fee, (cash and credit cards). Go rent a Jeep, make sure the rental company allows you to go off-road with it, because the big brands don't and go visit the park. You definitely need a 4x4 Jeep to go to the Natural Pool and renting one is a better option than doing a tour since you can visit at your own speed. Just take your time while driving the trail as it is rocky.

What a wonderful Park. Many different experiences in one Park. Caves with ancient drawings, natural pool, hiking trails though a dried up river bed that was used for rituals of the slaves. Goats, birds, the list is endless.

The staff was very helpful, friendly and patient. Answered all my questions politely and made sure to make me feel welcome. Would definitely recommend it for a walk in nature. There is also a small place where you can buy snacks and drinks.

With 11$ entrance fee i wonder where all the money is going because the roads are still the same as 20 years ago

My husband and I just scratched the surface of the national park. The views were breath taking. You can get close enough to feel the water spray your face and see tons of fossils. Would love to go back and see more.

Beautifull place for early morning hikes.... start early ... 6AM and watch the sunrise. It gets really hot after 9/10 am so bring enough water if you are planning to do a longer hike (more then 2 hours) or if you will be walking after 9am.

Great visit, we rented a jeep and toured the park. Natural pools were great to see

Beautiful

In love with this park

Be warned its a bumpy ride but lots of fun

Definitely recommend coming early as it gets very hot in the day. Lots of interesting things to explore, the tour guide was amazing that walked us through the cave and private garden area.

Arikok National Park was so much fun. We visited Conchi (the natural pool) and had a great time. Conchi is located on the northern tip of the island and is a natural pool formation of rocks surrounded by the wild waves of the north shore. The natural pool itself is crystal clear and calm and makes for a truly unique swimming experience. You definitely need a true 4x4 jeep or truck to safely reach conchi or you have to commit to a two hour hike each way. Beyond the natural pool, there are some nice hiking trails, sand dunes with ocean or sea grapes, which are edible when ripe (deep purple) and the caves. Upon exiting the national park on the north east end of San Nicolas, you also have a unique opportunity to get a close up look at the wind turbines that provide up 30% of the islands electricity. Go ahead and enjoy Arikok National Park.

Was soo fun I wrecked my jeep🤪

Beautiful views of our landscape and oceans

(Translated by Google) Natural wonder. (Original) Maravilla natural.

Great experience at the park. It is rainy season so we had spurts of rain showers and yet it would clear up. Lots to see and experience in the park.

(Translated by Google) Nice site, courtesy of guides, beautiful landscapes. (Original) Lindo sitio, gentileza de guías, paisajes hermosas.

(Translated by Google) Good place a bit old and from the 80s but to hang out well (Original) Buen lugar un poco viejo y de los 80 pero para pasar el rato bien

Amazing diversity of views, landscape, flora and fauna. It’s worth spending the entire day driving the coast from the California lighthouse to San Nicolas. Highlights are the cave drawings, rock pools, fish nibbling pond, bat cave.

I love it!!

Beautiful, There are no other words to describe this place if you want to see the real aruba the nature the beauty the history just go, thank me later.

Wow, breath taking views. Plan the entire day here. Pack a cooler. I added the map for reference. We had a SUV and was fine on the MAIN LOOP. Just use common sense, go slow over the drains so you don't bottom out. We entered at the southern (Vader Piet entrance) dirt road saw the both caves (Quadirikiri and Fontein). Then picked up the paved road though the northern loop and stopped at the main entrance visitors center. Prices are very reasonable. SUV is fine on this route, all others you need a 4x4.

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) A beautiful natural place, but to access the natural pool you have to walk about 45 min. You do not get there by car directly and the terrain is steep. (Original) Un bello lugar natural,pero para acceder a la picina natural hay que caminar como 45 min.no se llega en auto directamente y el terreno es abrupto.

Is okay. I would say it's some overrated. Only driving with car and few things to visit.

Amazing place to walk and relax.

Very nice place to hike or ride in jeep

(Translated by Google) The park evokes the plurality of activities that you can do trekking, walks, sunsets and the mine ruins will make your expedition the most pleasant ride (Original) El parque evoca la pluralidad de actividades que puedes hacer el senderismo, las caminatas , atardeceres y las ruinas de minas harán de tu expedición el más placentero paseo

Look at it.....wow

Where nature is untouched and the education and preservation on the island's resources are at heart

Magical hike

The Arikok National Park has remained open foe hiking all during lockdown and is as wonderful as ever to walk through. Presently it is very dry and all plants and animals are thirsting for some rain. Notwithstanding it is a beautiful place to walk through. There are not many visitors walking around so one can really enjoy of the solitude. Worth a visit. I go every week.

This is an amazing National Park. Highly recommend it, beautiful views. Definitely check out the caves! Worth the time for sure! Must have a rental car.

Nice place. Great park

Lots of sites to see. Trails are not marked for travel. A GPS is absolutely necessary. Good luck!

No bathrooms. Great scenic view of ocean waves crashing on cliffs. Caves.

This place needs to stop getting greased by the Jeep tour companies. Drove over in a UTV to check out the natural pools and they wouldn't let us in.....wanted $38 if we drove a jeep over ourselves. Totally disappointed and would never recommend this scam to anyone.

Everything is closed due to covid. They have bathrooms and you can go in and get your wrist band but that's about it. Watch out for the goats.. one got trapped in the deck and freaked out when my wife turned the corner 😂

The caves are worth a visit, a really neat place to explore.

(Translated by Google) Excellent nice parke new experiences (Original) Excelente lindo parke nuevas experiencias

Beautiful natural park. The scenic view is amazing and the three 4x4 trails make you live a closer to wild experience.

(Translated by Google) I love it, just nature (Original) Me encanto, solo naturaleza

Great!

Small building selling tickets to the national park. Friendly and helpful staff. Small place to but light snacks and drinks.

Arikok is an Amazing Place. You can't miss it when you visit Aruba.

Air & Sun on you skin....!!!

Nice original nature

The National Park is a Great Deal if U Travel to Aruba 🇦🇼 its a Must 👍🏼👍🏼

excellent service

The only national park in Aruba

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Bonito

Caves are open again

This was the highlight of our trip to Aruba. Rent side by sides for an entire day and experience the park at your own pace.

Very helpful and a must visit place

It was AMAZING!

Really enjoyed four wheeling through this area.

Really lovely place to be but more for walking than driving through.

We're love this national park! So much top explore.

Wonderful place! It has a natural pool!!! So magical!

A great ride in a jeep to the beauty of nature. Incredible sunsets, rock and desert. Like you are in a sweet post of another world just for us.

Would not recommend the natural pool if you don’t have some level of experience with off-roading. Once we got there it was very cool though! We went to both caves, and if you take a path across from the smaller one(ask the rangers) you’ll find a little pond full of fish that will nibble your feet.

About a 45 minute drive from Divi Beach is a preserve. Filled with wild goats and two cave complexes. Without a Jeep avoid the visitor centre and enter by the southern entrance.

Love this park. Beautiful views at every angle. Definitely visit this park

Must do when in Aruba! Rent jeeps and explore the natural pool and the rest that the park has to offer. Great places for pictures. Make sure to bring lots of sunscreen!

Of all the places I have seen in Aruba, I have to say that Arikok was by far and without a shadow of doubt the greatest. One needs to rent a car to go there and spend an entire day, but I have to say it is worth it. Driving through the desert, surrounded by huge cacti on hills was an experience I will never forget. The entire landscape is wild and mostly untouched. The main road that comes from the park entrance slithers on the coast giving the visitors the opportunity to watch pristine landscape, huge angry weaves and experience strong winds.

Our family group came here in an 11 passenger van. We are able to go deep into the caves which was great and very interesting to see. We also were able to put our feet in a pond where we all had a fish pedicure. Amazing. We really wanted to go to the natural pool but it is restricted to off road 4x4 vehicles.

An amazing sample of the wild side of Aruba, it's great to know it will be presented for many generations. Highly recommend taking the tour via family owned ABC with 'Uncle' Johnny. The ultimate tour gives you history and shows key points of the island which gives me a great idea of where I want to go and what I want to do for the week. I definitely will be back to the national park for hiking and ATV.

It was ok. $15USD per adult (not sure kids price). You need a 4x4 to go to the natural pools. We were not aware until we got there and were unable to see that attraction. The caves were cool enough. One is small and the other is a bit bigger. Not a must do for me on a trip.

Good little place to visit. Two caves and some beautiful vista's on the rough side of Aruba. We had a car but I think there are several tours that can take you here. Small caves but unique. Should see bats in at least one. Harmless little guys

Bring a Jeep if you're planning on traversing the park to Conchi Natural Pool. NO ATVs allowed and your rental car isn't equipped or capable to climb or descend the steep, uneven and VERY rocky path. This is not a challenge. Your rental car really cannot clear this terrain. That said, it's worth the modest price of admission and the not-so-modest price to rent a Jeep (or better yet, hire a driver). The trek was exhilarating and the views were unbeatable. Bring your swimming/snorkel gear for the hidden gem at the end of the path, the Conchi Natural Pool. Water shoes are a must as it's very rocky. Bring a camera to capture the black crabs on the black rocks.
