OVERVIEW

Ride across the island in an open-air Jeep to a natural pool along the sea and a cave adorned with centuries-old pictographs. You will enjoy uninterrupted views of the gorgeous countryside as you travel through Aruba’s rugged interior, often on roads only accessible in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle. The seaside pool lies within the Arikok National Park, an environmentally protected wonderland that covers nearly 20% of the island. It will be immensely relaxing to ease into the crystal-clear waters of the secluded pool, which fills a bowl-like depression in the volcanically formed shoreline. Nearby, you will explore Fontein Cave, whose limestone walls are covered with reddish-brown drawings – some floor-to-ceiling – that the indigenous Arawaks created long ago. Anthropologists speculate that the artists may have been under the influence of psychedelics. To experience a weird sensation yourself, dip your feet into the freshwater pool nearby and enjoy a fish pedicure of sorts.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Enjoy panoramic views of the volcanically formed terrain, which at times is desert-like.

Spend hours zipping around the streets of Key West on a golf cart that is easy to drive and, best of all, easy to park. Golf carts couldn’t be more convenient, which is why so many locals drive them instead of cars. The streets in Key West are somewhat narrow and when traffic is heaviest – which is often when cruise ships are in town – golf carts are ideal for getting around. They allow you to spend less time walking and more time sightseeing. Plus, they are fun to drive, especially since these golf carts are gas-powered with plenty of zip. You will find one that is perfect for your party, whether it is just for yourself or for as many as six people. The rental time is flexible, too. You can rent a golf cart for just 3.5 hours or for up to 5 hours. Either way, it will be a blast.

• Zip from attraction to attraction without wasting time walking.
• Have fun driving the gas-powered golf cart or just riding along as a passenger.
