foreign
Welcome to our second day tour and once again we'll have Tony with us if you haven't seen
part one yet definitely get back and check that we'll put a link up there
this is more riding and More Exploring Aruba so stay tuned under the trees
there's different entrances
so we're out here in Aruba enjoying the mangroves and this is extremely beautiful water is very
warm and we're just out here filming a little bit to go with our ride I took a bit of a tour
out here in Aruba on utvs we're on a Pioneer I think we're on a 700 or
a thousand but uh still nonetheless beautiful day
out here with a group summer swimming when we're walking
just enjoying enjoying it so out here in Aruba you can rent from a couple different tour guides
we are using ABC tours they are of course not the cheapest but we think the highest quality
at least here some of the other ones do not use Hondas they use CF motors which nothing
wrong with that but there's another group that uses some Chinese name which I'll put
down here somewhere and they look like mini Pioneers but they're not very reliable so uh
you know depending on your budget what you feel like doing they carry spares and we'll get you
home if they break down but ABC tours they keep bowling machines Top Notch and we recommend them
I did kayaking with my wife over here one time and she was doing good at first then
she got tired so I had to roll on my own it could be worse it
could be in two kayaks you got a tower that's why I didn't do that
when people like the snorkel over here because it's very shallow all over
and what the name of this beach again is this is
Big Mango Big Bang Grove beach yeah so you're going between the mangroves with The Kayaks
nice pretty cool reminds me of Bimini in the Bahamas okay
very nice
so we headed back to the pioneers and Tony was going to take us to some other locations
so we had our snorkels and we had our towels we had a change of clothes and water shoes
and we were ready for more Adventures of course riding is the primary function of
this tour but we wanted to see some new sights something that we didn't see in
our original video and so we were excited to see where else he was going to take us
we are here at baby Beach and why are we uh why do we why is this called Baby Beach so there's
a funny story behind it once we get a little bit more over to the other side you're going
to see a big oil refinery that oil refinery was built in the year 1924 because we used
to refine crude oil for Venezuela okay 600 000 barrels a day and um we also played a big role
in the second world war where we refuel the Allies so the states a couple of places of
Europe Holland all against Germany so we would refine the crude oil and then we would give it
to the Allies okay after that when the Germans found out they tried to bomb the place so they
tried to send three Torpedoes to the island one of them never exploded the second one landed on
Shore and the third one exploded in the submarine itself so we are a very blessed Island as we say
but this place is called Baby Beach because the workers they used to work inside of that
Refinery their wives would stay at home with the kids and they would bring them over here to Baby
Beach it was called Laguna Chiquito at first so that means small Lagoon and then the ladies that
came here to teach the kids how to swim they named baby and it stayed the same ever since
it's not because we make babies here
this little break here at baby now here's some construction going on but
other than that it's a nice peaceful having a good time so we'll be back
even on a private not everybody comes here it's mostly what people want to do and I
always recommend this one because it's one of the highlights of the island yeah I mean to
me it's the nicest beach yeah yeah you know I mean that's you get you know some places have
a restaurant and stores and everything but just through pristine like this that's nice and it's
nice to come here early because right now it's not full of people give it two hours and there
won't be places for you to leave your stuff yeah to go in the water so when I have that
nine hour two this is where I start yeah I start here and we end up at the north west side of that
and we're back at low tide again yeah today is also low tide and we don't have much current
especially not today because this week the whole wind yeah the storm and everything climbing comes
from the West so this side the South and the East won't be that badly normally it is
ABC provided sanitized snorkels and they were full face snorkels I had not used those before
but they would come in handy for someone who had a goatee or facial hair so you can pick
those up and bring them with you they did have those available and we were in this channel off
of baby Beach just where there was not much current or the current was going in the right
direction and we could just go in and check out all the fish and some coral and you know don't
touch anything and don't stand on anything so we pretty much just floated over everything there was
another group out there and they were enjoying the same type of thing there but it was before
there was a large crowd so if you do go on a morning tour please check with them it makes
it so much easier when you don't have dozens of people trying to see the same thing now if you
do want to go out on a boat you can certainly hire boats that will go out and you can go snorkeling
and seeing wreck and dive locations but you will be in a larger group so this was nice
private and it was just really enjoyable of course my GoPro lasted all the way to the
end and then I dripped some salt water from my hat onto the GoPro and there goes another
GoPro so make sure that you're careful with your GoPros but she did a good job while it lasted
back on the trail we went just like our first day out there was a lot of bumpy and Rocky Trails but
really it is pretty flat this part of the coastline we did run into some water which
was left over for some rain that must have come through overnight for the most part it's Scenic
it's arid the ride is a little bit bumpy but it's only because there's tiny little coral
and limestone rocks all over the place but we did see a good amount of people on ATVs and on
side by sides and we did see a few Off-Road Jeeps and forerunners that were perusing the same trail
that would go to the Island now our goal was to make it up to the White House sites but for the
most part this was just a stop and see some sights along the way and again there was mud
and there was riding and it was just enjoyable but really if you're looking for super hilly and
super Rocky Trails this is really probably not the location for you this is just another place
for you to enjoy the scenery and get out on an off-road vehicle where normally you wouldn't be
able to drive a normal vehicle out on these coasts you're not going to rent a car and come out here
certainly if you want to get your deductible back you wouldn't be doing that and you'll hear a lot
of noise and banging and skid plates uh really vibrating and as I had said in the first video
these machines take so much abuse I know that when you're going down some of the Pennsylvania
Trails you may run into the same thing but it's a little bit of unnerving but it's great to know
that these Honda Pioneers really hold up to the abuse that they are given on these trails and as
a tourist and someone renting it obviously they're not going to take as well care of the vehicle as
if it was yours but ABC tours does a great job and make sure these are all maintained they have
a dedicated mechanic on hand and they have a full staff to make sure that your rental will work well
this is one of the many fishermen Huts that we have on the island
some of them are Fisherman Huts some of them are privately owned places where people used to own
them before they became government protected lands so these people cannot sell this place anymore but
they are able to pass it down through generations for their families like this is one of them this
is owned by the LA clay family and they have made it into a nice spot for people pictures they have
made it into a place where if you want to camp on the island you can also Camp over here the
other water system there's no electricity there's no Wi-fi nothing like that so it's like a little
getaway from the island itself right awesome there you have it and then you have a private beach over
here as well it's not that good for swimming there's a little weight in there a little bit
yeah take pictures take some videos awesome right and as you can see right here you have
cement and blocks on this side and then you have the corals to make up the rest of the building in
those days I'm talking about the late 1400s early 1500s people mostly lived off of fishing so they
would come on the side of the island to fish and they needed a place to stay for a couple of days
so here we are at one of the fishermen beaches
heard Tony tell us about and we're here for a break stop in the water see some sights we
did the Natural Bridge already so just getting over here to relax a little bit in the water
so we would use these rocks As Natural filters as you can see in the middle there's many holes
and it's so tight that the salt can get through it so they would use these for the water it
comes all the way from the top all the way to the bottom and then the salt stays behind and there's
so many minerals in here that they use for the water so they would use as natural filters and
for the minerals and that way we don't need to add anything to the water to make it cleaner or also
to give it a taste so you get the minerals and you get a good taste from this also that's very cool
foreign
and have a break and have some coconut and enjoy the sights looks like we missed some rain over
there which is good but uh yeah we're just doing a little bit of a little bit of tour here and uh
nice to see a little bit of review everybody's out today because it's beautiful out
and we'll probably get another hour worth of riding uh once we get past there foreign
a little generator noise over here good for a picture but you see the kind of hotels way in
the distance down there so we're on the other side of Aruba but it's uh raining over there
would not have a rain on your video so as you can see there's a bunch of utvs
there's a bunch of different companies that come out here and do UTV tours we recommend ABC tours
they're not the biggest they're not the cheapest but they give you a good quality ride they cater
to whatever you want you can actually have a three hour ride custom ride you can do a standard half
day full day there's a whole bunch so take a look at on their website let them know that
the beaten Trail Essentia if you're going to come down here they use Honda Pioneers as we mentioned
and so that's always a good thing reliable and and really the rocks and the roads down here I
mean the trails are pretty rough you'll have dirt and sand and then all of a sudden you have Coral
rocks so if you want something reliable that's not going to shake apart so uh yeah Honda or
CF Moto out here I definitely would say so so once again Tony was a great guide as we left California
Lighthouse to come back down the coast he showed us a few more trails and a few more beaches
just when you do go plan to bring all the appropriate gear and you can go swimming
or you can go snorkeling I don't have the gear certainly talk to ABC tours they have
everything you could possibly require and you can always get a towel from your own towel we wanted
to thank everybody on the team for such a great experience and it was so great we went back for a
second day which is the video you're watching now takes a little getting used to driving high speed
on the road without a helmet but overall just the weather was good we missed some of the rainstorms
and as you can see some of the rain that we missed and saw in the distance filled up the
road a little bit so we did get to go through some water so it was enjoyable we appreciate
