California Lighthouse
The lighthouse at the island's northern tip, with the coastline in view.
The natural pool

EXAMPLE ROUTES
Three ways to shape the day
These are examples of stops a guest could choose, not fixed itineraries. Tell us your own list and we build the day around it.
The north coast
Alto Vista Chapel, a small yellow chapel on the island's quiet north side, and the California Lighthouse at the northern tip make a natural pair, with the coastline in view.
Coast and a swim
The rock pool on the rugged east coast, reached by 4x4 track (ask us about access on the day), followed by a calm swim stop at Eagle Beach or Baby Beach, whichever side of the island fits your route.
Town and shopping
Oranjestad, the island's capital, for shopping and downtown stops, with your own driver for the hours you book.
Half day or full day is your call: tell us how long you want the driver and we quote for those hours. For what a full day with a private driver includes, read our day trip guide.
