Visit Aruba’s Natural Wonders | Bridge, Pool, & Dunes

Escape to Aruba and travel outside Palm Beach and Eagle Beach’s touristy areas to discover our Caribbean Island’s wild side. From Arikok National Park on the east coast to the Sasarawichi Dunes on the north coast, there are endless natural wonders at your fingertips. Explore our mysterious caves, snap photos at the famous Natural Bridge in Aruba, cool down in a serene natural pool, and explore expansive sand dunes. However you want to spend your time in our slice of paradise, Blue Aruba Rentals provides the perfect basecamp for your adventures. Book with us today and visit these natural wonders:

Natural Bridge Aruba

Even though the Natural Bridge in Aruba collapsed in 2005, this natural attraction is still worth a visit! Next to the collapsed bridge, you can take photos of the intact Baby Bridge. Both bridges were shaped over thousands of years by waves chiseling away at the limestone cliffs along the north coast.

Natural Pool Aruba

Located inside Arikok National Park, the Natural Pool is one of our most visited natural attractions. This pool is protected by a volcanic stone circle of rocks, providing a peaceful swimming area for visitors. We highly recommend traveling to the pools with a local guide since the site is inaccessible to regular cars. Tour operators include Rockabeach Tours, De Palm Tours, and ABC Tours.

Quadirikiri and Fontein Cave

Also located inside Arikok National Park, you can find the unique Quadirikiri and Fontein Caves. Step into Quadiriki and take in views of the stalactites and stalagmites illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the cave roof. Then, head to Fontein Cave and learn island history from the drawings of Arawak Indians on the ceiling. Tour the caves on your own or enlist the help of one of the park rangers.

Sasarawichi Dunes

Head to the Northeast Coast of Aruba and visit the Sasarawichi Dunes near the California Lighthouse. These massive sand dunes starkly contrast the rest of the island’s environment, offering unique exploration and photo opportunities.

Hooiberg

Hike up Hooiberg Mountain and immerse yourself in the island’s flora and fauna. Ascend 550 stairs to the top and be rewarded with panoramic views of the island and sea. Keep an eye out for wild goats, parakeets, and lizards along the way!

From the Natural Bridge to the caves in Arikok National Park, there are dozens of natural wonders throughout Aruba. Book your stay with Blue Aruba Rentals and find the perfect lodging for your Caribbean getaway!
