This unique tour is a perfect combination of a visit to a beautiful country estate and working farm, combined with a “Farm to Table” local cooking experience. Visitors will enjoy the fresh and organic Goshen Smoothie, infused water and a typical local dish among others and learn more about Aruba's agricultural history.

An organic farm in Alto Vista. We toured the fields of organic vegetables and prepared a local Aruban dish of CREAMY PUMPKIN AND PLANTAIN SOUP and KESHI YENA... we dined with couples from Wisconsin and Corning NY. A truly beautiful experience in Aruba away from all the busy touristy places. This is the real Aruba...thanks to our host Suzette. Fabulous evening.

We went around 5:30 to see the lighthouse and climbed to the top. The view was beautiful, we the did a little off-roading along the shore area in our rental Jeep and ending the day at Faro Blanco, a restaurant at the lighthouse. It was a perfect evening!

California Dunes

Large rolling sand dunes located along the isolated northwestern tip of Aruba, which create spectacular scenery and a chance to explore by four-wheel drive.

Reviewed By todmell - Schenectady, United States

We didn't have a 4x4, so we just pulled over with our rental car to walk the dunes. We first visited the California Lighthouse and then pulled over on the side of the road at the bottom of the hill near the dunes. We walked and took some great pictures. The sand felt great and our boys enjoyed the feeling of being on a new adventure!
