Admire the natural wonders below and above Aruba’s beautiful landscape.
Have your camera ready as your panoramic drive pauses at the unique Lourdes Grotto, a Roman Catholic shrine built into rocks. You'll also pass Linear Park, a vast walkway extending 10 miles across the island.
Absorb the atmosphere in the Fontein Cave at Arikok National Park and gaze up at the native Arawak drawings on the ceiling. Your guide will reveal the story of their origins, which date back 1,000 years, as you find out about the island’s early inhabitants. At the Guadirikiri Cave, marvel at the dazzling sunlight streaming in from the open roof above and peep into those darker recesses where nocturnal bats roost during the day.
Witness the fascinating site of the Casibari Rock Formations. These imposing, giant boulders dominate the landscape with their strange shapes. Wander around and keep an eye out for native flora and fauna.

Essential information
There is approximately 1½ hours of walking on this tour, some of which is over uneven ground, as well as around 20 steps to negotiate. The ground inside the caves can be slippery, therefore suitable footwear must be worn. Any guests wearing unsuitable footwear such as flip flops, will be unable to participate. Parts of the cave are dark; a helmet will be provided, as well as a flashlight (one per 2 guests). A bottle of water will also be provided during the tour. The bats are in their natural environment and may not be visible during your visit.
