We covered a lot of ground in Arikok, starting with a hike to the gold mines and ending in the caves it was amazing. The park ranger at Quadiriki Caves was so knowledgable and helpful - he took great… Full review by Gail O

The cost to get into the park is $20 per person but well worth it especially if you have a Jeep to go on the off road section that brings you to the natural pool. The caves were cool and near the Fon… Full review by Audrey H

Just wanted to answer my own question. We visited in December. UTVs are not allowed. You do NOT need a 4x4 or jeep to tour most of the park. If you want to go to the Natural Pool you DO need a 4x4, but we didn't do this. We had just a regular sedan and we were fine. There are some drainage ditches, but we never bottomed out - just take it slow!
Do you need a car to see the national park or can you walk around it..

You need a 4x4 but suggest an ATV Will forward you an address in the morning where you can lease one. You can go with a group but you will be a bit limited in your movements. Say if you want to leave the west entrance near the windmills to go to baby beach. And you can do it in your time without a hoard of tourists of the group around you. Don't forget to bring along lost of water! Can stress this enough.
How long does it take to get there from the harbour and how much time did you spend in the park

The island is not big, we stayed in the northern end of the island and our driver got us to the park in less than 30 minutes. We only spent a couple hours in the actual park, touring through the rough terrain, enjoying the ocean views, riding to the highest point of the park and seeing the caves. It's a nice diversion from the rest of the island.

I would give yourself around 30 min to allow for traffic around the harbor, but it took us less than that. Time in the park is up to you. We had a Jeep (a must) to go to the Natural Pool (1 hour 30 min). We drove around the park, stopping at several places, including the caves, skipping the southern path (closed when we we were there)... all totaling about 5 hours.
Could you offer more details about booking the ranger tour in the Aruba National Park - exactly what we want to do. I don't see it on the national park website and could only find private tours with high prices and too many extras. The tour itself is what we want. Thanks for your time!
