My wife and I did this excursion as absolute beginners. We are overweight and haven’t been on a non-stationary bike in years. My wife thought it would be fun to try it. And it was, but only thanks to our amazing guide. He was patient and kind and most of all very encouraging. We stopped at more “picture spots” than we probably should have, and I’m sure it was his way of giving us a break. The bikes were in very good shape, but my wife’s seat was much smaller than mine and that led to her getting soreness from the seat (and not just our lack of physical activity). In the end, we made the 14-mile ride and enjoyed some amazing scenery along the way along with a beautiful chapel and majestic lighthouse. If you’re planning on doing this as a total beginner, just be aware that it’s really difficult, but rewarding when you finish.

Fantastic scenery of the north coast. Didn’t get to the light house because I lost my phone on the trail and had to trace back on the trail and found it...????

The physical exertion required here was way understated. This is essentially about an 11 mile ride over rough trails, mostly uphill. On this day there was a powerful ocean wind making it worse. The scenery is at times breathtaking, but there few planned stops where you could enjoy it. The ride took so long, the snorkeling had to be cut short. Essentially, there was only time for a quick dip in natural pool along a rocky coastline (not a beach), but the water was pristine and refreshing. The tour folks were nice and professional, but this experience was not fun. If you are an experienced biker in really good shape, you make like it more.

This tour was awesome and turned out better than expected. We were visiting Aruba on a cruise ship and were picked up just a short walk from the dock right on time. After a short van ride to Rancho Notorious we were soon on our bikes. The bikes we're all nice Scott and Trek bikes with disc brakes and were well maintained. The ride itself was mostly on desert coastal plain along the rocky coast. The scenery was fantastic. You'll pass by a beautiful, historic chapel and pedal in the shadow of the California Lighthouse. And beautiful views of the ocean are everywhere. The biking was mostly flat on sandy trails with some occasional hills. Good helmets and water were provided. Our ride was sunny, warm, humid, windy, and fantastic. The biking took us just over 2 hours and we were worn out, but in a good way. The biking was the highlight of our trip to Aruba and we would recommend it to anyone who enjoys pedaling around in some of the prettiest scenery on the island.
