- Aruba Aloe Factory, Museum and Store - Aloe has played a significant role in the local economy historically. Today, a modern factory exports a variety of products globally. Visitors can tour the museum and factory to learn about the Aruba aloe production process and explore 160 years of aloe cultivation history in Aruba. After the tour, there is an opportunity to shop at the Aruba Aloe store. A highly recommended product is the hand sanitizer, which has a delightful scent and offers skin protection, standing out from other market options.
- California Lighthouse - Situated at the northwest tip of Aruba, the California Lighthouse offers breathtaking views. Visitors can climb the stairs to enjoy the scenery. Please note that there is an admission fee not included in the tour.
- Casibari Rock Formations - Located near the center of the island, just north of the Hooiberg hill, the Casibari rock formation is composed of quartz-diorite. Climbing to the top provides a view of approximately 30% of the island, making it an ideal spot for stunning photographs.
- Ayo Rock Formations - The Ayo rock formations consist of impressive monolithic rock boulders, offering a remarkable sight.
- Natural Bridge - Once the top attraction in Aruba, the Natural Bridge collapsed on September 2, 2005. However, the site still offers a stunning view over Andicuri Bay, a popular bodyboarding location. Fortunately, a smaller natural bridge is forming nearby, which visitors can enjoy. It is located next to the original site, where the ruins of the old bridge remain.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Close to the Bushiribana ruins, a recently discovered cave pool awaits adventurous visitors. Those willing to climb down a ladder can swim in this pool, but swimming shoes are required.
- Baby Beach - Located in the southeast part of Aruba, Baby Beach is renowned for its spectacular ocean views and shallow, crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. It is an ideal spot for children.

The Happy Island - Tour guide, Sujean, was excellent! I make that point paramount because she made the all day tour enjoyable and a highlight of visiting Aruba for the first time. I expected a tour bus, instead a very comfortable new model air conditioned van arrived at the hotel pickup location on time. From there, the adventure begins with Sujean providing very insightful information on Aruba culture, geography, lifestyle, history and so much more. It felt more like a personalized tour. The tour was a relaxing drive with plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos. The cave swim was very nice although I recommend hard shoes because it’s a rough and slippery walk to and from the cave. The bakery visit had tasty pastries and the aloe vera tour interesting. While all day may seem long, it went by quicker than anticipated. Best of all, I saw the entire island including where the locals live without a rental car or having to drive myself. Well worth it!! The climb up the California lighthouse steps or the rock formation is not for the weak of heart but manageable. The cost in relation to the island experience is well worth it, great value! I trust Cjam adventures for my future tour needs, keep up the great service!

10/10 excursion - The tour was excellent! As luck would have it, my wife and I were the only ones who signed up for our time, so we weren't rushed at any point during the tour. Larny was very enthusiastic and professional as he showed us different parts of the island. He took every opportunity to take photos of us at each stop along the way. We got a lot of knowledge about the island and the spots he took us to were breathtaking. We stopped at some local spots for food, which made this tour all the more authentic. I would definitely recommend this tour and if you have Larny, you're in great hands!

Amazing experience and so much fun - Our guide, Lardy and Clarence, our driver, were fantastic! We learned so much, had so much fun and Lardy took pics for us as couples. He was jovial and really made sure we had a great experience. He was an excellent historian and really engaged our interest on the island’s history. Most importantly, Lardy made sure we were safe when climbing over rocks and rough terrain. He even held our beach bag so that our party of four could climb the ladder. I would absolutely go on this tour every time I am in Aruba.

Great tour of the island at a reasonable price! - We recently booked this tour and had Sujean as our tour guide. The other family who booked cancelled so we ended up having a private tour. Sujean was so kind and very knowledgeable about the island. She offered to take pictures of our family at each location and gave us as much time as we wanted at each place. The day we went it rained hard by the time we got to Baby Beach. Sujean gave me her phone number and said she would be nearby if we wanted to leave earlier than expected due to the rain. My children loved the cave pool, jumping off the cliff into the water. I loved the Aloe Factory and the rock formations. Many great picture locations. I saw a lot of Aruba in this tour and it was very reasonably priced compared to the other tours I looked at with similar experiences. I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience - From the moment we were picked up, everything about this tour exceeded expectations. Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the island’s history, culture.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced and we visited some of Aruba’s most iconic spots like Baby Beach, the California Lighthouse, Natural bridge, Aloe factory. Along the way, our guide SUJEAN shared fascinating stories and fun facts that made each stop even more special.
If you’re visiting Aruba, don’t miss this tour. It’s the perfect mix of sightseeing, culture, and relaxation.

The best tour and guide - I thought this would be a lazy bus ride around the island but I’m glad I was wrong. Our guide Laudy was an absolute blessing. I had learned and retained so much information about Aruba, the culture and places to go from his wisdom and sarcastic banter. He’s very open and honest and is particular about ensuring everybody gets pictures at the location.
The tour sets off and has an itinerary and stops that are organized and appropriate.
The cliff jumping is a must even if you are fearful of heights, but as long as you can tread water.
Avoid big mama at Bay Beach, terrible food as it is a monopoly in the area.
We ended up canceling our tour the next day because this was so well encompassing that we didn’t need anything more at the time.
