The VIP Jeep Safari & Beach Picnic

  • The VIP Jeep Safari & Beach Picnic
From 135
Hop on a VIP Jeep expedition across Aruba's landscape, check out the island's must-see spots, then head to a sandy beach for a picnic and a dip.
Start your 4x4 adventure with a scenic ride to the California Lighthouse, named after a U.S. steamer that sank just off the coast in 1910. Check out the Fofoti trees, an Aruban staple, as you pass by Eagle Beach and off-road next to the Hudishibana dunes (the waves crashing into the cliffs create quite the backdrop). Then, pass Wariruri cove's natural bridge and stop at the Bushiribana Gold Mill Ruins before heading to an award-winning beach for a tropical picnic and a refreshing dip.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
