Blokarting in Aruba: Ride Aruba's Rocky Ground with Trade Winds

Two hours steering a blokart across Aruba's rocky terrain, powered by wind

Blokarting in Aruba is a two-hour activity where you steer a small blokart craft across rocky ground while Aruba's trade winds propel you forward. The wind does the work; you control the sail's tension and choose your pace. Instruction takes minutes, and the activity suits all ages above 14, couples, friends and families. Pickup and all equipment—vehicle, helmet, bottled water—are included.

The Experience

You arrive at the blokarting site and get a quick lesson on how to operate the blokart. The craft is simple: tighten your sail for full power or loosen it to cruise at a gentler speed. Once you understand the steering, you're ready to ride. The trade winds do the propulsion; your job is to steer and adjust the sail tension to match what you want from the afternoon.

The rocky ground of Aruba becomes your track. As you pick up speed close to the surface, the rush builds—the wind carries you across the terrain while you stay in control. You can push hard or take it easy; the blokart responds to what you ask of it. Couples often ride together, and families split across multiple crafts, all moving through the same wind at their own pace.

Two hours covers the ride itself, the setup and the instruction. Bottled water is provided, and the pickup from your hotel or a central point is arranged before you book. Helmets and all safety gear come with the vehicle. The activity works for all fitness levels and welcomes riders aged 14 and up; younger children can come along in a pram or stroller if someone stays with them.

Top questions

Can I control how fast I go on the blokart?

Yes. You control your speed by tightening or loosening your sail—full power for speed or a looser sail for a relaxing cruise. The trade winds provide the push; you decide how much of it you use.

What happens if there's no wind that day?

Aruba's trade winds are consistent year-round, so wind is reliable. The activity is built around these winds as the power source.

Do I need any blokarting experience to book this?

No. Instruction takes only a short period, and the blokart is easy to learn. The activity is designed for all ages above 14 with no prior experience needed.

Is transportation to the blokarting site included?

Yes. Pickup is included and arranged as part of your booking, so you don't need to arrange your own way to the site.

Can families with young children participate?

Children under 14 can't ride the blokart themselves, but infants and small children can come along in a pram or stroller with an adult staying with them while others ride.
