Additional Information

Get back to nature with Rancho Loco on the one and only horseback riding tour through Arikok National Park to the Natural Pool, Aruba’s most popular and most remote nature destination only reached by walking, horseback or 4x4. Our expert guides instruct and match you to your horse, no experience is needed. Your tour takes you into the Park for a relaxing ride on the Nacho Trail (no vehicle traffic) to experience a nature lover’s treasure that contains some of the most diverse flora, fauna and huge cacti in the region. Keep an eye out for wild goats as you ride up into highlands for photo worthy views of the island before descending to the coastline to reach the famous Natural Pool, a stunning formation of volcanic rocks that resemble a miniature mountain range, known locally as “Conchi”. Spend 30 minutes exploring the area or swimming in the pool before heading back to the ranch. Say goodbye to your trusty steed and have a cold drink at the bar (extra) before departing.

Unreal!!! Just book!! Don’t think- do it!! - I’m trying to find the words to describe this incredible experience. It was simply magical. From the seamless pickup with a super entertaining driver who acted more like a tour guide of the island, to the beautiful ranch with horses that were clean, well-trained and clearly taken care of, to our incredible guides (one male and female- I’m sorry I forgot their names! But they were super friendly and engaging and I felt so safe! They were genuinely good people). The views are other worldly- this tour takes you to an off the beaten path, remote section of the park that very few ppl can access- our small group was the only ones there. This is one of the best experiences of my life and I want to thank the amazing staff at the ranch for the well organized trip. Do it!!! Well worth the money. (And the dip into the natural pool was heavenly).
