Itinerary
Aruba Aloe Factory is the oldest Aloe Company in the world and one of the first companies to formulate and manufacture aloe-based Skin, Hair & Sun Care products and growing the Aloes at the cosmetic production plant.
We include one of the most amazing historical landmarks of Aruba, which was once a prided mill that processed gold on the Island, Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins. Dating back to the 1400s when Aruba was being dug up for wealth and riches, the gold prospectors finally found gold mines and eventually constructed this fort-like mill out of stone boulders. Fun Fact: The mill was built to resemble a fort to scare away pirates!
A natural formation you'll visit is the Baby Natural Bridge, which succeeded with original Natural Bridge in 2005 after its collapse. You'll be in awe to witness how nature can create such beautiful constructs that still stand and attract thousands of visitors from all over the world.
The yellow chapel of Alto Vista is considered to be the birthplace of Aruba's Catholic religion, the first Chapel to be built on the island by the Indians and the Spanish Pioneers in 1750. The chapel offers a sense of peacefulness to all those who enter its sacred doors to meditate and pray, with a beautiful landscape as its surroundings.

Traveler reviews
ATV/UTV tour
Gabriel & Nahym were hands down AMAZING!!!!!❤️ would 10/10 recommend & use again!
Unprofessional
My experience was less than great. In fact the issue was the service, guide and lack of professionalism. I love ATV adventures and the ride was great. However, our guide prided himself of safety yet left the last two guys who had apparently stopped because their back bin flew open. The tour guide eventually looked back and saw that they were no where in sight. He also rushed us through the Aloe plant telling us not to talk to anyone or buy anything so we could continue on. There was another younger male guide who came off confrontational when we were initially leaving and did not see where our guide walked off to. He told me to stop being scared and when I replied that I was not scared I didn’t see where our guide walked off to he said that I had seen where our he was because he saw him. At that point, I disengaged with him. I loved the tour but the “help” was horribly unprofessional!
Time well spent. Good value.
Right mix of history and riding and culture. Gabriel our guide was fantastic.
Awesome Experience!
We had an amazing experience with Pancho! He guided us through the island and showed us great historical spots and great places to stop and enjoy nature and a stunning view of the Caribbean Sea ! The ATV ride was great for all skill levels. Would definitely recommend!
100% worth my time
Our tour guide guy was very informative. I was the only girl in the group and was a bit scared at first yet he had me drive behind him and gave me the best tips and guided me thru the adventure., I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guy. Very smart and knowledgeable guy
