- Ayo Rock Formations - Situated in the center of Aruba, north of the Hooiberg, the Casibari Rock Formation is a popular tourist destination, much like the Ayo Rock Formations. These formations consist of quartz diorite rocks.
- Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins - Gold fever, a condition where many dream but few prosper, struck Aruba in the early 19th century. Initially, local men with basic tools sought gold. From 1854, mining rights were granted to various professional companies, most of which struggled to succeed. The Aruba Island Gold Mining Company constructed an elaborate mill on the northern coast in 1874, along with roads and a pier. The English company ceased operations in 1881, and by 1916, the gold rush had ended.
- Alto Vista Chapel - Built in 1952 on the site of Aruba’s first Catholic church, established in 1750 by Spanish missionary Domingo Antonio Silvestre, the bright yellow chapel is accessible via a winding road lined with white crosses marking the stations of the cross. It is a serene place for reflection, nestled in the Aruban countryside.
- California Lighthouse and Sasariwichi Dunes - Located at Hudishibana near Arashi Beach on Aruba’s northwest tip, the California Lighthouse is named after the steamship California, which was wrecked nearby on September 23, 1891.

Aruba Bus Tour - Our bus driver and guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and engaging. This was a good opportunity to see and learn more about Aruba for first time visitors.

nice introduction to Aruba - This tour was exactly what we were hoping for — not too long but filled with interesting stops and a nice introduction to Aruba. Peter, our driver and guide, was excellent and shared so much great information along the way.

Excellent Tour - poor booking agent - The itself was FANTASTIC. Our guide, Peter was knowledgeable and full of information. I would recommend this tour for an overview of Aruba on a limited time frame. The one negative was the booking person at the JOIA Aruba desk. She was NOT AT ALL helpful, courteous or knowledgeable!!! We were fortunate we had an idea of what we did and didn’t want!!! From the day/time of our booking she has not been back at the desk, therefore we were unable to get her name / only that she was new to the position!!!

Great tour and guide - Our group of 4 joined an afternoon tour during a day visit to the island as part of a cruise itinerary. Great guide, very informative about the island and sights visited. Tour provided a good whistlestop visit to the islands highlights in a limited timescale. Communication pre arrival with the company was good. Would recommend, particularly if visiting the island briefly

Great choice for a tour in Aruba - This tour is a perfect way to “ see the important sights “ in Aruba. Our tour guide, Ricardo, was a terrific driver/host! The length of the tour was just right and allowed us to enjoy the rest of the day at our hotel ….

Unsatisfied - Be careful at stops. The driver left four at the first stop my wife and I were two of the four. The driver also stated inaccurate facts and stories. He talked too much about things that had nothing to with the tour and then point out things after passing them

Dreadful Tour - Extremely poor, there were only two of us, myself from a cruise ship and someone staying in a hotel. As soon as I got in to the car I was told that it would be limited due to the weather. I had one particular requirement...see the Aruba sign. This I did not. He did take us to the lighthouse covered in scaffoldong though...why? Plus we were told he had a transfer so the trip would have to be cut short. The American on the tour showed no recognision that there was anyone else on the tour ( not the tour companies fault...but the driver...I will not say guide because he would not be classed aa a guide in the UK , didn't give us a time limit when we stopped so there was lots of waiting around for my fellow traveller.) How many piccies of a fallen bridge can you take??. Obviously he thought the tips would be better from an American opposed to a Brit.
Having been desperate to see Aruba after it was recommended to me on a trip 25 years ago, it was a complete anti- climax. Do not book this trip with this company.
