Aruba’s national parks are all treasures, and the Arikok National Park is no exception. Nearly 20% of Aruba is a designated National Park and home to a long list of natural wonders, animal species and plant life. The Arikok National Park is home to rare priceless gems that are indigenous to our island.
The Arikok National Park is a great place to spend the entire day enjoying the dramatic landscapes. There is an entrance fee of $15, and free for kids, that goes towards the preservation of the park, educational programs and the animals who roam freely throughout the 7907 acres.
There are many things to do in Arikok National Park. The place is home to a variety of unique attractions and cultural heritage sites, including spectacular caves, original Indian rock drawings, unusual land formations made from lava, quartz diorite and limestone, guided nature walks through dry river beds to secluded bays like Moro, Boca Prins and Dos Playa.The monthly 'Movie in the Park’, watching a movie in open air under the stars, is worth a visit and a memorable experience for the entire family. Admission for this activity is free, except for the park fee.
