Amazing experience - The scenes totally worth going on this trip. Erold was really friendly and helpful, communicating well with us over what's app when our taxi did not show up on time. The timing of the trip was amazing. Not hot at all. The pool was beautiful and unique. You cannot take picture over there as you might risk your phone. I suggest to take another cheaper phone with you, if you really want to have the picture.

Unique Experience and Must See! - This tour and Erald were great. We met early in the morning and had a beautiful hike before sunrise that was cool and not under the sun. Took some beautiful pictures along the way. The natural pool was a little wavy but very secluded and not crowded for how early we went. Erald also supplied some delicious lemonade and crackers. We saw lots of crabs (harmless!) and lizards. Overall, this is a must do if you are visiting for Aruba and looking to do something unique.

Great way to see the Sunrise and be at the natural pool before the jeep tours - What a lovely way to explore the real country side of Aruba, by your own foot without making an impact to the local nature which is not much left. Through this secluded trail where we were pointed out the flora, fauna, history and fun facts about the island, it was a truly great experience. The guides are well passionate of their island Yari and Erold were so friendly, knowledgeable and they give you the real local tips where to eat out of the tourist trap. One important thing is that they offer this experience early in the morning to avoid the heat which is after 9 am and to be and leave the natural pool "Conchi" before the crowded jeep tours arrive. The pool is not that big area and when they get there is very crowded. Top experience to explore this side of the island. Highly recommended

Hike in Aruba - The hike with Yari was an unforgettable experience. As we ventured into the lush terrain, I felt an immediate sense of connection to the land. Yari led us on a journey through the rugged trails, sharing not only their knowledge of the local flora and fauna but also offering deep insights into the spiritual significance of the natural world. The hike was a beautiful blend of physical activity and spiritual grounding. Surrounded by breathtaking views of Aruba’s landscapes—the rolling hills, rocky paths, and endless skies—I felt an overwhelming sense of peace and awe. Yari encouraged us to tune into the rhythm of the earth, guiding us to be present with every step. It was a perfect reminder of how nature can heal and restore our inner balance. We paused along the way for moments of stillness, breathing in the fresh mountain air and letting the energy of the land fill our souls. There was a deep sense of harmony and renewal as we made our way through the mountains. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just looking for a mindful walk in nature, this hike is an incredible way to reconnect with both the Earth and yourself. It was the perfect conclusion to a day of healing and reflection, and I’m grateful for this experience. 🤍

Beautiful sunrise walk - We thoroughly enjoyed the sunrise walk to the natural pool with our guide Yarimar! She was very knowledgeable and we learned new things about Aruba along the walk. Going early before the heat of the day and when all the jeep tours get the natural pool made for a great experience for us! I would highly recommend.

Great trip to the sunrise - My wife and I took part in the tour yesterday and were thrilled. Erold was a great guide who guided us safely through Arikok Park to the Natural Pool and had a lot of interesting additional information for us. We were the only two participants and so had a private tour. It was great. The nature is magnificent and the pool as well. We were there all alone and could enjoy the time before the big tourist rush including photos of us both as a reminder. Afterwards there was even a small snack from Erold before we made our way back.
