your local guide to eco-friendly outdoor excursions on the One Happy Island.
Founded just before the pandemic by two friends, Jorge Zárraga and Nancy Brete ( ex business partner & still friends), Aruba Nature Adventure (J&P Aruba Nature Explorers VBA) was born from a dream: to share Aruba’s unique beauty through authentic, one-on-one encounters with nature, culture, and history. Over time, the company evolved, and today it is managed by Jorge and his life partner Bianca, who are dedicated to growing eco-tourism in Aruba in harmony with the island’s future.
We believe in sustainable, low-impact tourism that respects and protects Aruba’s fragile ecosystems. Our tours are more than sightseeing — they are designed to immerse you in Aruba’s flora, fauna, archaeology, and cultural heritage, from prehistoric times to today. As part of our commitment, we also include plastic clean-up efforts on every hike and organize one or two island-wide beach clean-ups each year, helping to preserve the natural beauty we share with you.
Our mission aligns with the vision of the Aruba Tourism Authority (ATA) to keep Aruba’s growth sustainable and responsible. As proud members of AHATA (Aruba Hotel & Tourism Association) — the island’s leading tourism network — we actively connect with hotels, businesses, and partners who are committed to maintaining Aruba as a world-class, eco-conscious destination.
