It is just next to the Gold mine ruins with ample of parking available in open. There are lot of ATV groups present here in the afternoon so it can get crowded. But it is not required to drive 4x4 or ATV to reach here. We came here in a regular i10. The road is just a graveled road fyi. It is just woow! This is surely my top favorite activity in Aruba. It is fully surrounded by rugged rocks and waves. Also there is a ladder provided to get down to the cave. It's like a super adventurous fun thing. The best part is you can swim in the water. People were also jumping in water. Wear sturdy shoes or Crocs, as it's slippery. Keep water and snacks with you to have after swimming.

Not for individuals who have difficulty walking. We timed our trip rather well. Most of the tours were leaving. About 2:30 pm during the week. There is a steep, wooden ladder you need to navigate to get to the rocks. Then you have to walk, climb the rocky topography which is uneven, sharp and slippery. You MUST wear some kind of water shoe. Once you get there (about 50 feet from the ladder) and jump into the pool, you’ll be glad you did. There are two ways to exit the pool. A wooden platform and a rope. I used the rope. You will need to be able to pull yourself up on the wet rocks. Don’t chicken out. I’m 61 and did it!

This is not for the light hearted. The descent to the jagged rocks from the cliff is about 8 feet but it is wooden steps. You definitely need well made water shoes that will grip wet wood and have enough layers to absorb the jagged rocks waiting below. After slowly and carefully walking about 10 yards of the rock with the waves splashing in front on me, I finally reached a small area to dive into the waters below. It is about a 20 feet but well worth the it The water is deep enough to absorb my jump. It is a trilling experience most should enjoy!

For the adventurers. Cave pool is near the Gold mine, off to the right a couple hundred yards. If you don't see anyone parked by it, all you will see is part of a ladder sticking above the rocks. Suggest you wear water shoes. You will have to traverse rough rock until you see the pool. There is a spot to jump in off a rock about 6' high. The pool is at least 6' deep. Check for a rope to get out right where you jumped in. If you don't see it, just swim around. The best time to visit is early mornings before the tours start coming through.

Wear sneakers here these rocks are sharp!! You have to take that ladder down and trek over those sharp rocks where you’re encouraged to jump a short height to get to the small pool. After you jump in about 7 feet or more of water it gets shallower the further in where you can swim around the pink rocks, you’ll see in someone else’s photo, to climb out. Caution as there is a heavy current! Fun! But only for the agile and good swimmer!

The view here is absolutely stunning and worth the visit. However, keep in mind that getting down involves climbing a ladder and walking on an uneven, rocky surface, so I recommend wearing appropriate footwear. Once you’re at the water’s edge, there’s another small ladder and a platform to help you get into the water. Overall, it’s a breathtaking spot, but make sure you’re prepared for a bit of a climb and rocky terrain.
