About ATV and Jeep Tours

ATV and UTV tours let you explore Aruba's desert, coast, and hidden spots that regular cars can't reach. Options include single- and double-seater ATVs, 2- to 4-seater UTVs, and combo tours that add the Natural Pool, cave pools, Secret Beach, or snorkeling and Aruban lunch. Most tours are half-day (2–4 hours) and run in convoy with a guide. Some include hotel pickup, water, and snacks; others add lunch or a swim stop. You'll need a valid driver's license for most ATV/UTV driving; age and license rules vary by operator.

Insider tips

  • Book ahead in high season—ATV and UTV tours sell out, especially morning slots.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes, long pants or clothes you don't mind getting dusty, and bring sunglasses. Avoid loose scarves or long necklaces that could get caught.
  • Morning tours are often cooler; afternoon can be very hot and dusty. Natural Pool and swim stops are a great way to cool off.
  • If you don't want to drive, look for UTV options with a guide driving or jeep safaris where the guide drives.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a license to drive an ATV in Aruba?
Most ATV and UTV tours require a valid driver's license to drive. Passengers typically don't need one. Age limits (e.g. 18+ to drive, 6+ to ride) vary by operator. Some offer UTVs with a guide driving so you can ride without driving.
What should I bring on an ATV or UTV tour?
Wear closed-toe shoes, long pants or clothes you don't mind getting dusty, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Many tours include water and sometimes snacks; a few include lunch. Bring a swimsuit and towel if your tour has a Natural Pool or beach stop.
What is the difference between ATV and UTV in Aruba?
ATVs are typically single or double-seater all-terrain vehicles; UTVs (side-by-sides) seat 2–4 people and often have a cage and seatbelts. Both are used for guided off-road tours. UTVs can be easier for couples or small groups who want to share one vehicle.
Do ATV tours in Aruba go to the Natural Pool?
