Description

Our Elite Private Safari tour is the perfect choice for those who are looking for a more intimate and flexible experience. Determine your own starting time, length and route, making it the most complete experience available today. This tour is also available in a 6-hour version.


The tour starts from the moment we pick you up at your hotel or resort. You will be brought to our office, which is located only 10 minutes away from all major resorts, where you will be greeted by your tour captain.


Our knowledgeable local guides will help you create the perfect experience. Below are the top spots that you should not miss if you are a first time visitor to Aruba:


California Lighthouse: The lighthouse was named after the S.S. California - which sunk previous to its construction in 1910. Perched on a high seaside elevation, the lighthouse has become one of Aruba's scenic trademarks and offers a picture perfect view of the island's western coastline of beaches and coral shorelines.


Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins: In 1824, gold was discovered in Aruba, and the industry produced more than 3 million pounds of gold. An English company built a gold smelter at Bushiribana in 1872, a picturesque spot near the sea that was sacred to the island's original inhabitants, the Arawak Indians.


Breathing Rocks: the heart beat of Aruba, made up of volcanic rocks resulting in a seasonal refreshing Natural Pool.


Andicuri Beach: Situated on the island’s windward coast, Andicuri Beach boasts a breathtaking and scenic setting. The wide bay is enclosed by coral-stone cliffs of which some parts provide for a little shade. Due to its perfect waves and stronger surf, various local body-boarding competitions are held here. Locals love to come here for the peace and quiet.


Blackstone Beach: Lined with small and shimmery black eroded stones, Black Stone Beach is the only beach in Aruba boasting “black sand”. Erosion by the water not only created black pebbles but also rather sharp and edgy rocks that both characterize this location. Black Stone Beach is located close to three newly forming natural bridges in Arikok National Park. The beach is quiet and secluded.


Natural Bridges: Pounding waves and strong winds have slowly chiseled away at the limestone cliffs along Aruba’s north coast to create several natural bridges. Before collapsing in 2005, the largest and most photographed of these bridges was the famous Natural Bridge between the Bushiribana gold mine ruins and Andicuri Beach. The remains of this bridge are still visible, and you can witness the adjacent intact Baby Bridge being born.


Arikok National Park: This beautiful nature reserve is home to a variety of unique attractions and cultural heritage sites, including spectacular caves, original Indian rock drawings, unusual land formations made from lava, quartz diorite and limestone, guided nature walks through dry river beds to secluded bays like Moro, Boca Prins and Dos Playa.


Conchi Natural Pool: In a unique rock formation, volcanic stone circles a small depression, creating the tranquil natural pool of Aruba. The location of the pool is surrounded by some of Aruba's most rugged terrain, so a visitor truly gets the feeling of having "discovered" something when they reach the site. The Conchi Natural Pool is Aruba’s most remote, yet most famous natural attraction.


Baby Beach: Famous Baby Beach in the southern part of Aruba, close to San Nicolas, is a true Caribbean beach paradise. This gorgeous half-moon sandy expanse in a calm lagoon is ideal for families with small kids. Complimentary huts are placed throughout the beach to protect you from the sun.


Ayo and Casibari Rock Formations: These two ancient rock formations were created as a result of a collision of tectonic plates. The top of Casibari offers a beautiful panoramic view, while Ayo hosts a path to primitive Indian cave paintings. The rocks are surrounded by a “cactus forest” which is also nice to explore.


Indian Caves: Along Aruba’s windward coast, in the deep recesses of rock, you will find mysterious wall paintings left behind by Indians. The Guadirikiri Cave is famous for its two chambers, illuminated by the sunlight streaming through holes in the roof of the cave. The Fountain Cave is the most popular one for the Arawak drawings on the ceiling that provides a real sense of island history.


Dos Playas Beach: Visitors of the Arikok National park have access to Dos Playa offers two coves in pure nature. One cove is a go-to for island surfers, with a broad white-sand beach for sunbathing or relaxing under the shade of the sea-grape trees. It is a must-go for people who like an unspoiled beach experience.


These are some of the most popular spots in Aruba but if you wish to see something else, our guide will help to arrange it. Ice cold water water and sodas are offered throughout the tour and we can provide snorkeling gear if needed.


At the end of the tour, you will be returned to your hotel.

    We booked a private four-hour Jeep tour with ABC. Big G, our guide picked us up at our hotel and was an excellent host. He sprinkled facts about the island and was so attentive. He was willing to take our pictures and even found us some wild growing Aruba cherries to try. The Jeep was stocked with ice cold drinks and comfortable to travel in as we ventured around the island.

    Having the ability to build our own itinerary was so nice. We started off by off-roading to get to the natural pool. Here we swam and snorkeled, we even got the pool to ourselves in between your groups arriving. Being on a private tour we weren’t rushed and never had to worry about waiting for other people. Next, we ventured to the natural bridges and snapped a few pictures before making our way to the wishing stones and ruins. Our final stop was Boca Catalina, the quintessential Caribbean beach, to snorkel. Big G pulled right up to the shore and joined us in the water. He pointed out rock fish and different formations under the water as we snorkeled. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our first trip to Aruba.

    If you’re looking for a unique, customized way to explore the island, book the private Jeep tour with ABC. You can’t put a price on flexibility and individualized attention.

    We had an amazing private tour with Kenneth! We originally booked the 4-hour tour, but decided to upgrade it to the 6-hour tour the day before -- and we're so happy we did. The time flew by and Kenneth was a fun, knowledgeable, and energetic guide. He even got us to the Natural Pool at the perfect time: A large tour group had just left, and we enjoyed the pool with just a few other people. Then, as we were leaving, 3 large tour groups came in. We feel so fortunate and grateful to Kenneth for helping us experience the pool without all the hordes of people. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

    My husband, myself and our three daughters (ages 21,17,14) did the 4hr Private tour. It was amazing! We had a blast! Kenneth our guide was informative and really fun! He went above and beyond, everything from taking pictures to holding out a hand when walking across the rocks for our cliff jumping! He not only took us exactly where we wanted to go, he added some stops we were not aware of. This was a great way to see the island. So much fun for all of us!!!

    Today our family took A private Jeep tour with Patrick. The tour was excellent! Patrick took us to many of the popular island attractions and also off the beaten path. We loved stopping for A swim at the cave pool. It was by far our kids favorite stop. They also loved the off road driving portion of the tour. Patrick was and excellent tour guide. He listened to what we wanted and was very knowledgeable about the island and its history. We highly recommend ABC’s private Jeep tours and request Patrick has your driver.

    It was difficult deciding what tour to do while in Aruba (we were on a cruise), and the reviews on TripAdvisor really helped. We were so happy with our decision to book with ABC Tours (we didn't book through the cruise ship). They were fantastic from beginning to end! Every person we had contact with was friendly and helpful. There were 4 of us and Kenneth was our driver. He was GREAT!!! He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, HAPPY, and an awesome driver. We were able to see so many sites and also avoid the crowds being we had the BEST tour guide! It was also obvious what a fun and caring person Kenneth was by the way he interacted with the other tour guides. Spend the extra money for the Elite Private Safari - it's well worth it. If we go back to Aruba, we will definitely do this tour again. Thank you Kenneth and ABC Tours for an amazing day :)

    My wife and I and our friends (couple) went on the elite private Safari with Kenneth. We were greeted at the Aruba Port Terminal and and after a short visit to the ABC offices to sign off on our waivers, we were on our way. Kenneth had an amazing sense of humor and we instantly bonded cracking jokes as our Land Rover sped and bounced off road style in the along the outer part of Aruba. We didn't have a set plan for the tour so Kenneth made it up for us.
    The tour started with :
    California Lighthouse
    Alto Vista Chapel
    Son of Natural Bridge
    Bushiribana Gold Mills Ruins
    Natural Pool at Conchi Arikok National Park where we cliff jumped off into the deep part of the pool.
    The Huliba caves and the only natural spring on Aruba where we dipped our feet and received a free fish pedicure
    Baby Beach to round out the day relaxing in the beautiful water.
    Kenneth's real and humorful commentary along with the best off road wheeling we've experienced made it worth every penny. Kenneth's McGyver skills in fixing the busted muffler with his shoelaces after hitting a hard dip was CLASSIC! We took a short break at a little rest stop and ABC was there with a new Land Rover in 20 minutes
    Highly highly recommended and make sure you ask for Kenneth!!

    My wife and I did the private Jeep tour, with Kenneth as our guide and driver. He was great!! Very informative and fun!!! We always felt safe despite the roads being crazy, and he got us to our destinations quickly. He took us to the best places, and knew when to get there. We got to the Natural Pool right as an entire group was leaving and we wound up having it to ourselves for over 10 mins. It was incredible. We then stopped at so lesser know beach spot and had the whole beach to ourselves! He took us to a lunch spot that had great steak sandwiches and Aruba’s local beers for very reasonable prices! We continued on to the lighthouse and ended at the “Three Stairs” beach where we could snorkel and hang out. It was a great trip and tour! You will not be disappointed! Ask for Kenneth if you go!

    We had the honor of having Kenneth as our tour guide for our private elite tour! He stopped as special secret stops and educated as while having an absolute blast!
    One adventurous mountain drive was through the beautiful and preserved National Park. After many breathtaking stops along the way, he took us to the natural pools . This is a must see.
    He was so very focused on us getting the most during this one of a kind excursion.
    Some other stops were beaches, cliffs, the gold mines, twin stone bridges, Black stone beach ( oh an amazing REAL Arabian lunch in between) and more mind boggling cliffs with waves crashing like no one could even dream of.
    We also did an exhilarating cliff dive!!!
    The lighthouse was a must see; with a coconut milk rum drink named after Kenneth.
    We’ve traveled many places and have had so many excursions; and we have to say Kenneth is the BEST we have EVER had.
    We will be back for sure!
    Thank you Kenneth!!

    We wanted to go to two very specific sites and avoid having to deal with tons of people and places that weren't interesting to us. So, we booked a private 4-hr tour for the three of us (myself, my husband and our 14 yr old son). ABC matched us up with a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide named Patrick. We visited the ostrich farm and the natural pool, then he took us to a few additional sites along the way back. He was a very safe (and funny) driver and gave us lots of interesting background on the island during the tour. Patrick and Marilyn also helped us with a slightly unusual request to help find a store selling boogie boards and got us there before the store was closed!! Patrick was an absolute joy to have as a tour guide and we hope to have him take us on tour again someday. My son loved him too and said the worst part of the tour was that it ended so soon (where normally he doesn't even want to go). That says a lot!

    This was our second time with ABC for a day island tour and it was amazing. We did the private tour and started at baby beach, working our way back around the circle. Jorge took us to some of his favorite spots and beaches, some of which we were the only people at. A couple of the beaches and swim spots were places we never heard of but much nicer than the touristy beaches. Jorge allowed the day to unfold at a leisurely pace and his itinerary was spot on. If you’re a big group, definitely worth the splurge to do it privately. And ASK FOR JORGE!

    We booked a private 4 hour tour of the island. ABC picks you up at your hotel, quick stop by their office to complete paperwork and off you go. While a private tour is $400 usd, it is well worth the cost. Our driver/guide, Andrew, was awesome. We nicked name him "Topper" because the tour and his knowledge of history of the island was over the top. If I remember correctly he is 6th generation Aruban and is quite proud of his heritage. Andrew asked what we wanted to see and I said "as a native of the island show us what you would want to share". He brought the first round of balashi, Aruba beer, at our first stop at the old gold mine. He took us heavy duty off roading to see secluded beaches and places most tourist do not get to experience, again Andrew was amazing and truly a great human being. My only warning would be prepare for serious off roading if you choose the out of the way destinations. Andrew, aka "Topper" dropped us back at the hotel and we shared hugs after our time and 4 hour discussion. Truly a special day for my wife and I.
    Topper, many thanks our new friend in Aruba!

    We did the 4 hour elite safari tour today with our guide Edoardo. I am so glad we decided to do the private tour for my husband and me. This is our eighth trip to Aruba and we finally decided we wanted to see the island. However we wanted to tailor the trip to things that we were specifically interested in. I am thrilled that we chose this option because it was very informal and Edoardo was delightful. His knowledge of history, geography, geology, and culture made him the ideal tour guide for us. In addition to that, he was a great guy and we thoroughly enjoyed being with him. We successfully crammed a lot into a four hour trip, so we spent a lot of time doing off-road between sites. We highly recommend this private option, but I am sure that their other tours are also well done.
