This is a great spot. It's beautiful, you not only hear the crashing waves, but often get splashed by them as well and yet it's calm in the pool area and snorkeling is actually very good. I don't recommend it for everyone as it is difficult to get to. Not only is the road there an adventure in itself, which... More

We went here on Madi's Tours (will post separate review for that.) It's the 2nd time I've visited Aruba, and this was one of the things I had to absolutely do again. Don't think I would attempt to get here on my own, as the road is treacherous, very rocky and dangerous. Just getting down into the pool from the... More

The first time I visited this wonderful spot was in the late Eighties, with my Dutch but Aruba born wife and her Arubian friends. It's located on the rough side of Aruba, somewhere between the Natural Bridge and the Arikok Natural Park. The landscape is very rocky and dusty so you can't drive without a 4x4 car. In those days...

MUST SEE!! For people who love adventure this is one of the best things in Aruba! First you will enjoy a very rough ride through the beautiful nature of Aruba. When you arrive at Conchi (Natural Pool) you will have an amazing view! Conchi is my most favorite spot in Aruba! The pool contains colorful fish and on the wet... More

Jeep tour and pool swim makes for A LONG DAY. The jeep ride will drain you. The heat along with driving in the dust that you drive behind from the other 4 jeeps is horrible. You will be cleaning your earns for weeks. A 45 minute dust bowl ride is too long followed by a walking hike down a BIG... More

Pool is not that big so if you go with a lot of people, like we did, you keep bumping into each other. Not many fish to see either. Besides the walk down and up the hill is torture. Not worth the trip. More

We saw and snorkeled in the natural pool as part of our jeep safari. Well worth it; saw many unique fish, crabs, etc. There is a bit of a rugged walk from the parking area down to the pool. Would suggest water shoes as you need to climb over rocks to actually get into the pool. Was a bit crowded... More

I rented a Jeep and was discovering the island and was told that I must see the Natural Pool. If you want an adventure then certainly take a Jeep and go through the almost unnavigatable road to get there. Once you are there just turn around. There are a ton of crabs and eels in the water which makes swimming... More
