Casibari is a field of huge tonalite boulders in the middle of Aruba, just off the main road to Santa Cruz, with stairways carved into the stones and trails that wind up to the top for 360-degree views (Aruba Tourism Authority, read 7 November 2026). It is one of the island's easiest sights to add to a drive, and the stairs make it a short climb rather than a hike.
Highlights
The climb
Walking trails and steps wind through the boulders to the top, where the view runs from the coast to the inland hills.
The boulders
Tonalite blocks scattered across the dry terrain, with small gardens, shaded rest stops and carvings that hint at the earliest inhabitants of Aruba.
The snack stop
The BBQ Bar & Grill on site serves snacks and cold drinks with shaded seating, and the site has free Wi-Fi.
Hooiberg
The cone-shaped hill rises close by; see Hooiberg for the longer climb.
Practical info
Tips
- The tourism board gives no opening hours or entry fee on the Casibari page and asks visitors to check with the site before going, so do not plan a fixed time around it. Casibari is a standard stop on island tours: the EL Tours Explore Aruba bus tour lists it among six stops (see Aruba island tours). If you prefer to see the rocks from a horse, the 2-hour sunset horseback ride with a rock formation, countryside and beach route is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 50 reviews on Viator (read 7 November 2026); its title names a rock formation, not Casibari, so treat it as a ride in the same area of rocks rather than a Casibari ticket. For the other horse options, see horseback riding in Aruba.
