Wow, talk about ghetto. I had booked the ATV tour to the natural pool with Watapana tours. First off, the bus to pick me up from the hotel was 30 minutes late, and i stayed at the Marriott which was the first stop. Second, the bus was just a broken down school bus that was painted lime green with all... More

The bus showed up on time! And although I know they have several colorfully painted school buses they use, the bus that showed up to pick us up was an incredible tour bus - which looked to be brand new (when we returned, we returned on one of the school buses). We had 'some' issues with the woman up front... More

I just got back from Aruba yesterday and my overall experience was Wonderful! However, this may have been the one low point on my trip and I was very disappointed by the inside staff. The actual tour guide was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly. He also exhibited great patience considering our unexpected occurences during the trip. We booke dthis tour... More

This excursion was amazing and totally worth the price!!! The two guys--Jonathan and The Crazy Dutchman--made the day exciting, safe, informative and FUN!! We got to see some of the best sights in one afternoon on safe and clean ATVs. If you want to see the island and all it has to offer, which you should, then definitely check this... More

Just got back from our afternoon ATV tour and I wanted to post this to let other interested people how great the tour is. Although it rained half the tour, Sebastian was knowledgeable, courteous and one of the best guides I have had traveling abroad. I highly recommend this experience and would tell everyone to disregard the poor reviews. They... More

The lead driver took us everywhere we wanted to go, and it was a very rough ride. Would not recommend for the elderly. We had a lot of fun, but the jeeps were not very safe. Seat belts did not work,no shocks, hard to move the seats to get in and out, and roof did not peel back all the... More

Not for the sissy, it's rough and dirty. You can ride alone or tandem. See the natural bridge, a gold mine ruin, and light house. Didn't know what to expect but expectations were exceeded. Guides were strict for safety but very fun as long as you worked with them. Ron V More

We just got back from an afternoon tour with Sebastian and had to get online to praise his tour. We were lucky to go out with a small group and had a blast! This is one of the big highlights of our honeymoon. Sunglasses and a bandana to cover your face are highly recommended to protect yourself from the dust.... More

My husband, best friend and I recently took the jeep tour because it was cheaper (and we mean cheaper versus less expensive for a reason). We started out in a jeep that did not have working seat belts which is a very bad thing when you are four wheeling on Aruba. Half way through our trip our jeep broke down... More

My wife and I decided to book a tour with these people on our honeymoon. The issues started immediately. First, the bus was 15 minutes late picking us up (a minor annoyance) but then we were taken to the facility and we're made to wait another hour in line for people to pay. We had already paid with one of... More
