It was ok, as a whole. But litter everywhere, traffic is terrible. We attempted to do the Natural Pool in a rental Jeep. The trail is in poor condition, the rental side by sides and quads are completely out of control. Then you get to the pool and it's littered with cigarette butts and beer caps. Alto Vista was beautiful. As was the California lighthouse. Shopping looks great if that's your thing (it's not mine). Next time I'm here I'll probably just stay on the boat. This island is very commercialized and seems urban. Honestly we came here with a lot of enthusiasm and it was met with disappointment.

Trike tour was awesome, easy to handle driving as its on the right, HIGHLY SUGGEST an automatic as the shifting seemed to be difficult for some. I have never driven a bike so I was thankful they had an automatic for me Have your partner/copilot take pics, there is a need to concentration on road as there is traffic and pot holes. I missed a few sites, but after I reviewed the 200+ pics my wife took wife took it was great. There were 4 – 5 stops where POI were explained with lots of time to explore. They also took the time to use our camera to take pictures. I Suggested to them to add bluetooth head phones for more interaction with the guide during the ride. We waited only a short time for the pickup, BUT the van had no A/C so it was a little uncomfortable. Day 12 ..18.Aruba ship tour "by land and sea" Pelican tours and Robinson was our ship guide. Open air bus had a bad microphone so it was very hard to understand. It rained so those by the windows got a little wet. The driver played Cheesy music and there could have been more history commentary. The Boat portion was great, Robinson, the guide, was informative, interactive and funny. He made the tour. Word of advice - top of boat ONLY holds 20 people by law so be there first. We were over capacity, but no one wanted to leave.
