If your looking for the best tour of the island, "Vader's Local Adventures" is it. He drives an older yellow diesel Toyota Landcruiser and his tour starts where the others stop. He can take up to four people but two seems best. The jeep tours on the island are joke in comparision. You drive a jeep in a row of other jeeps following behind a tour guide in a four wheel truck. Vader's tour is extreme four wheeling... You will appreciate Vader's driving skills and knowledge of the island by day's end. Four wheeling on Aruba is not like what most people think of (going fast thru dirt and mud, etc). It's more like riding in a tank over rocks and more rocks. If you easily get car sick this is not the tour for you. It costs $65.00 per person. He will pick you up at your hotel at 9:30am and drop you back at 6:00pm. The tour includes lunch and sodas. You will see all 8 natural bridges on the island, the natural pool, the caves, the lighthouse, the Gold Mill Ruins, the highest point on the island, Baby Beach and much more. Vader's tour leaves all others in his landcruiser dust. His phone number on Aruba is 297-966-1067. Tell him "Chip" sent you and get ready for extreme fun on Aruba like no other.

Does he work for a tour operator or is he a independent?

Is there a web site?

Thanks

Happy Holidays Gayla.

Vader does not have a web site at this time. He is an independent tour operator and I believe the only way to reach him is by phone (297-966-1067). You may get an answering machine or his wife. In either case, he is good about getting back in touch. You can call when you get there if you have a couple days before you want to go. He does like a two day notice when possible. Hope you decide to use his tour? You will be seeing parts of the island that no other guided tour is willing to go.
