Question re: Aruba ATV Tours

I would like to take an ATV tour that goes to the Natural Pool while I am in Aruba. Does anyone have any recommendations/experiences they can share? Has anyone tried the Kini Kini or the De Palm ATV tours? Are there any other companies that anyone knows of that offer ATV tours of the island? Do ATV tours need to be booked in advance or can you book them while on the island? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Question re: Aruba ATV Tours

DePalm has good tours and you can book it when you get there..Advanced booking will asure your chosen day and time. Also Check out www.visitaruba.com and www.arubatravel-guide.com . Those are additional sites with good BB boards as well and other great info. Read about all the different tours and prices offered. People will have reviews of them all. You decide which is most fit for you. I hear they are all pretty good. Check out getting an Aruba Plus card. Save's $$$ on everything.Just about everywhere.
Have fun
Deb in Ma.

There are variuos operators that do the ATV
Kini kini is one of them also.

Your Hotel concierge(not the tour desk) at the hotel can help you

Re: Question re: Aruba ATV Tours

Having just returned from Aruba, I can tell you that many of the ATV tours do go to the Natural Pool. Most only stop there for approximately 20 min. which is just not enough time. When we were there this past March/April '07 there were also other Atv tours, Depalm Jeep Tours, and a large horseback riding tour also, along with people touring with 4X4 jeeps. I would ask which ever tour you decide to use how long they stay at Natural Pool.

We aren't exactly the younger set. (66 and 61) and took the ATV trip last year. It was the most "alive" I've felt in years. Yeaah, you get hot and dirty. Who cares it's vacation! Wear goggles. I didn't, only sun glasses. Wished I had taken the goggles since I was bringing up the rear. You will ba able manage a day pack while driving with sun screen and water, although they stop frequently to give you drinks, a snorkle and ended the day with DePalm Island. Don't miss it if you like a little actioin. Our guide was a hoot and a great study in the geology of the Island. Have fun!
depalm website is www.depalm.com

But for heaven's sakes be careful.

Folks were killed on the ATV tour last year.

Will the goggles fit over a pair of eye glasses?
