What to expect

This casual hike combines culture, history, vantage points, and nature, as you follow your private local guide through Aruba’s famous Spanish Lagoon. It’s a wonderful introduction to hiking in Aruba. Enjoy some history of the Balashi gold mill ruins, which were built in 1899. Take your time to admire the view, then venture into the mangroves and surrounding hills to enjoy the local plants & birds. The Balashi Gold Mill Ruins are a common stop for tourists, but few people know about the beautiful nature trail nearby. Our private local guide will help you see a different side of Aruba, away from tourist traps and off the beaten path.
