Experience true adventure at Aruba's most remote, yet also most popular nature attraction, the famous Natural Pool. In a unique rock formation, volcanic stone circles a small depression, creating a tranquil pool: Aruba's Natural Pool.

On a deserted stretch of coastline, dramatic shows of water spraying over the rock occurs on a regular basis as the tide rushes to shore. The unique natural pool is also known as 'Conchi' (bowl) or 'Cura di Tortuga' (Turtles Cove) and located inside Aruba's national park Arikok.

The location of the Pool is surrounded by some of Aruba's most rugged terrain, so a visitor truly gets the feeling of having "discovered" something when they reach the site, by either foot, horseback or 4x4 vehicle. Because of the nature of the environment in this secluded area, the site is inaccessible by a regular car. This activity is free to visit, but only reachable on a tour by UTV, jeep or bike, or with your own jeep after paying $15 admission to Arikok National Park.
