What to expect

  1. Alto Vista Chapel

    We begin with a visit to the historic Alto Vista Chapel, Aruba’s first Catholic chapel and one of its most treasured landmarks. The chapel is a beautiful place to take a moment of peace and reflection, surrounded by panoramic views. As we guide you through, you’ll learn about the chapel’s cultural significance.
  2. Casibari Rock Formations
    30m
    Next, we’ll explore the Casibari Rock Formation, where you’ll discover massive, otherworldly boulders that create a natural playground. Take a short hike up to the top for breathtaking views of the island’s rugged, desert-like landscape. This is a fantastic stop for unique photos and an up-close look at Aruba’s geological wonders.
  3. Aruba Downtown Walking Tours

    Our journey continues north to the iconic California Lighthouse. Standing tall against the coastal backdrop, the lighthouse offers stunning views of the ocean and surrounding dunes. Your guide will share the lighthouse’s rich history as a beacon for sailors and its significance to the island.
  4. Tres Trapi Steps
    45m
    Our next stop is the unique Tres Trapi (“Three Steps”) – a natural rock staircase leading down to a clear, shallow swimming spot. This little gem is loved by locals for its incredible water clarity and occasional sightings of sea turtles. It’s a quick but memorable stop to enjoy the ocean views and get a glimpse of Aruba’s coastal charm. You can also book your snorkeling tour here to see the turtles.
