Dh received via email a confimation for our tour today:

"BABY BEACH TOUR – Morning tour
After a short but informative briefing about the tour, driving instructions and safety features, you will be ready to operate the easiest and safest off-road car on the island. Just put the gear in forward and off you go!
Your tour starting point is located in the Cunuku (country) and only minutes from the Arikok National Park. This means you will be "off-roading" from the moment you get in the car! A sense of adventure and excitement surrounds as you follow your guide to our first stop of the day, Jamanota. At 620ft (188m), the highest point on the Island, you will experience amazing views of the whole island and on a clear day you can even see across to Venezuela. Don't forget you camera!
A rough and rocky road, surrounded by a forest of majestic pipe cactus, leads us to the next island highlight, Guadirkiri Caves. Legend has it that the headstrong daughter of an Indian Chief was trapped here with an unsuitable suitor and left to perish but their love-boosted spirits shot through the roof of the cave and into heaven.
Enjoy spectacular views of Caribbean blue waters and crashing waves and as we drive along Aruba's rugged north coast on our way to another great photo opportunity, the hard to reach Seroe Colorado Natural Bridge, a gift from nature just for you!
After our dusty journey, there is nothing more refreshing than a splash in the ocean at the spectacular Baby Beach... crystal clear waters and a beautiful sandy beach are perfect for everyone. Are you Hungry? Don't worry… lunch is served with a beautiful ocean view at "Boca Prins Restaurant"

We specifically booked the "Half Day Tour" only to get to the Natural Pool. We didn't need lunch and have seen the other sights, nearly a dozen times.

We were surprised, well actually shocked by the email, which does not even acknowledge the distinct change from our previous planned tour to the Natural Pool.

Dh called them directly just now and was informed they "no longer offer the tour to the Natural Pool because the water is too rough".

So we cancelled. Now we are searching our other options to get to the Natural Pool which do not involve dh driving or riding horseback.

Probably going to be via ATV through Daimari or Kini Kini. Dh is on the phone with them now.
