Aruba UTV & ATV Tour: Animal Garden, North Coast & Andicuri Beach

About this activity

Aruba's North Coast is the part of the island a rental car can't reach. This guided Aruba UTV and ATV tour lets you drive your own vehicle across desert trails and along the volcanic coastline, behind a local guide.

The route links Philip's Animal Garden, Alto Vista Chapel, Baby Natural Bridge, Wariruri Bay, Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins, Andicuri Beach, Tripod Bridge, and Blackstone Beach, passing by Cave Pool, Shark Bay, and the Ayo Rock Formations.

Most guests haven't driven a UTV or ATV before, and your guide sets the pace. This Aruba Excursion also serves as a Shore Excursion for cruise passengers.

- Single or Double-Seater ATV, or a 2 / 3 / 4 / 5-seater UTV - you choose.

- Choose a 9:00 am or 2:30 pm departure.

- Drivers 18+ with valid license; passengers age 4+ (UTV) or 6+ (ATV).

- Swimming at Andicuri Beach depends on sea conditions.

This is a real off-road adventure, not a quick photo-stop loop. Explore beyond the resorts and experience Aruba’s North Coast by UTV or ATV.
