Aruba Jeep Tour

One of the best things we did on vacation was this jeep tour. We went around to several different scenic spots on the island, riding in a Land Rover. Much of the tour was off-road, very bumpy and a little scary. But we laughed the whole time. It was so much fun.





One of our stops was at this rock formation, CasiBari. Neat view, great pictures.





Most of the offroading was spent getting to the Natural Pool, a spot on the shore where rocks create just that, a natural pool. It was a neat place to see and to snorkel.

If you look closely, you can see the Natural Pool near the middle of the picture.


We stopped at a donkey sanctuary. Could have done without that...

This is the Natural Bridge, a rock formation that looks like a bridge over the water. It's pretty cool. They actually had a bigger one that collapsed in 2005.


And this is the gold mine ruins.


You can see the stack of rocks here, the whole shore there is lined with stacks of rocks. It's not a native tradition. Apparently tourists started the trend, "stack a rock, make a wish" so now everyone does it.
