Based on recent traveler reviews.

Our team's take

Did the ABC Island Ultimate Safari in one of their jeeps and it's easily one of the most comfortable off-road rides on the island, they clearly put real effort into that, it still bumps around like a safari should, just in a good way. Fun tip: you sit in a circle instead of regular rows, so you're always facing outward, way better view than being stuck in the middle of a normal car. At 8 hours it's the longest jeep tour ABC runs, and it shows, you go from the Lighthouse all the way to San Nicolas, hitting basically every landmark on the island, Natural Pool, Baby Beach, all of it. Lunch is included and genuinely good, a proper local plate with a choice of fish or chicken, plus a backup option if that's not your thing. Really nice full day to see a lot of the island.

    • 42,000+ verified guest reviews (Jan 2026)
  • Safety & Comfort First: ABC follows a simple principle - if it’s not safe and comfortable enough for their own family (parents, kids, and grandkids), it’s not good enough for guests.
  • Experienced Local Guides: Tours are led by knowledgeable, Red Cross-trained guides who prioritize safety and care.
  • Custom Safari Vehicles: Their signature Toyota Land Cruisers and Land Rovers are specially built in-house for Aruba’s rugged terrain. Designed for multi-generational comfort, the suspension seating is rebuilt approximately every 6 months.

Know before you go:

  • Off-road routes are rugged by nature. ABC is different because comfort is engineered; their fleet is maintained to a family-level standard. If it's not safe enough for their family, then it’s not good enough for their guests. On rugged off-road terrain, comfort is part of safety. Hard bench-style seats can feel harsh and tiring over a full day. ABC’s suspension seating is designed to absorb bumps and reduce impact so guests stay comfortable and relaxed. 
  • It’s real off-roading, so you’ll feel some bumps - the fun kind. Most guests giggle and laugh through it. ABC's guides drive controlled and always put safety-first.
  • Most guests can join this tour. However, if you have back or neck issues, are pregnant, or prefer the smoothest ride possible, please notify the team in advance. They will advise you on the best option.
  • When swimming/snorkeling is part of the day at the Natural Pool, ABC's guides stay present and actively monitor the group, so guests feel supported - not supervised from a distance. ABC assigns a dedicated lifeguard, plus a team trained in First Aid & CPR.

We booked the Cave & Conchi Natural Pool tour with ABC Tours, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Dave—he is hands down the best tour guide at ABC! He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great time. Unfortunately, another guide (who we were told is the owner’s uncle) almost ruined our experience. The main reason we booked this tour was for Conchi Natural Pool. Instead of going there first, we were taken to the cave, and when we finally got to Conchi, he told us not to go into the water because he claimed someone else had said the waves were rough. The problem? The conditions were completely fine. Every other tour group was in the water enjoying themselves, and once we got down there, the waves were calm enough to safely swim. There were even plenty of beautiful fish to see. It honestly felt like he just wanted to finish the tour early rather than let us enjoy the main attraction we had paid for. If the conditions had truly been unsafe, I would have completely understood—but that simply wasn’t the case. Thankfully, Dave stepped in and made sure we still had an amazing experience. After Conchi, we enjoyed a delicious lunch, which was another highlight of the tour. If you’re booking with ABC Tours, ask for Dave. He made all the difference and turned what could have been a disappointing day into a memorable one. He’s exactly the kind of guide every tour company should have.

Absolutely loved this tour, we had a great time!! It was my favorite day in Aruba. Dave was absolutely amazing, by the end of the tour he felt more like family. He was attentive, made sure we were hydrated and funny! He also kept us entertained. We did the Ultimate Jeep Safari Tour of the island and it was beautiful! Be prepared to have lots of fun, would highly recommend 10/10!!

An amazing and fabulous UTV tour! Highly recommend this thrill seekers tour with natural pool and cliff jumping. Awesome experience, so fun! Our tour guides, Cley and Jonathan were fabulous. Loved this adventure and the UTV’s were amazing, high quality ATVs. 5 stars, but I would give them a 10 honestly! Highly recommend!

ABC TOUR is a must do when in Aruba! Our driver Jack was wonderful and funny! All the drivers work together and they are very knowledgeable about the history of Aruba. They are so friendly! You get to do a lot in 8 hours! The lunch was great! & my favorite part with my littles was def baby beach! However they did survive the massage in the national park! Can’t be more happy with this tour!

What an amazing experience! Reservations were super easy. Got checked in quickly. Our guide was JoJo. Can't say enough about him. He set expectations before we took off. Very firm on what we could and could not do. Once we got to our 1st stop, he was a really great guide. Very funny, personable and knowledgeable. #TipJoJo The tour was about 4 hours in total. We had 5 people in a 6 seater. I would recommend splitting up into separate vehicles so that folks don't have to ride in the back. Some of the terrain was really rough, which beat the rear passengers more than the front seat. Literally the only "complaint". You won't be putting around the island. It's a fun off road experience. They provided lunch after the tour. Lunch was really good as well. Parking around the HQ is limited, so prepare accordingly. They offer a shuttle to a couple of nearby hotels.
