I would take an ATV tour, but rather than going through Watapana/De Palm, use Kini Kini.

Dh rode with our 12 yo and I rode single. Dh especially was nervous about riding the ATV, nevermind driving it. Kini Kini made us feel very comfortable and gave us a good run through before our butts even hit the seats. If the ATV's were not new, they were "like" new.
During our stop at the Natural Bridge, a rider on a rented ATV from another company admired our ATV's saying, "We [meaning us] got the good ones."  Our guide Ray allowed us to drive at a speed comfortable to us. By the time we left the lighthouse we were of course off road and I know I personally was feeling very comfortable driving.
This was our third visit to the Natural Pool. The first two were via 4 x 4. Getting there on ATV, was BY FAR, the easiest and quickest way in which to get there. It was still a little "hairy" but by following our guide Ray, we knew exactly where on the path to follow. I might add I was grateful the brakes worked!  Never once did I fear for my life though. Imo it is more dangerous swimming in the Natural Pool than getting there via ATV.
Downside? Now I know where they got the saying, "Eat my dust". Ugh, by June the island had not had any significant rain since February. The island did see significant rain June 24 and 25. In 17 visits I have never seen the island as dry as it was.
Clothing? Wear the junkies clothes and footwear you own. My t-shirt from that day just went into the trash, no amount of bleach was ever going to get out all of that dust.
Sorry if any of the info was duplicated from my previous posts. Just have to say this was by far, in addtion to the helicopter tour, the best tour we have taken in all of our visits to Aruba.
