We were one of the few that decided to hike from the park entrance. It was a tough hike but fun tool about 45mins of walk.Totally worth it. Wouldnt recommned hiking for people with kids because it tough. The pool itself is really nice and great to swim in. On the way back we hiked about half way and our... More

The Natural Pool was a little choppy and a bit dangerous this trip but always worth seeing. I recommend going on a professional Jeep Tour to see it but if you are adventurous and have experience 4 wheeling go for it. It's one of Nature's Best Creations! D.

Swim with the colorful small fish. It's a gem and a feeling that it's your own little swimming pool next to the ocean.

Who knew how cool it could be to watch waves coming ashore. The waves hit the rocks that surround the Natural Pool and that is how the pool gets filled. I would suggest not only a good camera but even one that capable of capturing video b/c there is just so much to see you have trouble getting it all... More

We came here on the ABC jeep tour to snorkel. The water was cool and clear. We saw some beautiful fish! The rocks were slippery, but if you're careful, no problem. Great place to snorkel!

Plain and simple...it's worth it if you are on a small tour. No fee, no crowd, and more time to take in the natural beauty. We did it while on our atv excursion. The journey to the pool site is an adventure in and of itself. The terrain is a combination of mountain and desert with an almost Mars look... More

My husband and i went on our honeymoon in 2000 to the natural pool and it was the best spot in town. We rented a jeep and had another couple follow us, we drove up the rocky part of the hill and not the road. The park ranger at the top said "I never saw anyone come up that way,... More

Aruba has great beaches, but you need to explore it's wilder side. Take a trip to the Natural Pool and snorkel in a saltwater pool carved out of rocks. Large waves from the ocean splash over the rocks and fill the pool. For those who are daring, you can climb up the rocks and jump or dive in. If you... More

Must see! Go with Madi's Magical Tours, hands down the best experience I had in Aruba. It is easier to walk barefoot then with your shoes. Bring a waterproof camera and maybe some snorkeling gear too!
