Blokarting Adventure in Aruba: Wind-Powered Fun on Rocky Terrain

Summary

Wind-Powered Karting Experience Near Aruba’s Rugged Coast

You’ll get right up close to Aruba’s rocky landscape while riding wind-powered karts—no experience needed. It’s fast, fun, and lets you feel the island’s famous trade winds firsthand. Bring your sense of adventure!

What’s the experience like?

First time I tried blokarting in Aruba, I could actually hear the wind whistling past my helmet before I even picked up speed. The ground here isn’t your typical beach sand—it’s rough, almost crunchy underfoot, with little pebbles that rattle as your kart rolls over them. Our instructor, Miguel, gave us a quick rundown—honestly, it took less than ten minutes before we were off steering on our own. You don’t need to be an athlete or anything; just pull the sail tight if you want to go faster or let it out for a slower ride.

The best part? The trade winds do most of the work. There’s this salty smell in the air and sometimes you catch a whiff of wild sage from somewhere nearby. We saw a couple of local kids cheering us on from behind a cactus patch—felt like we were part of something special. If you’re coming with friends or family, there’s plenty of space to watch and take photos (I got some hilarious ones of my cousin spinning out). Helmets are included and they’ve got cold bottled water ready at the finish line—trust me, you’ll want it after a few laps under the Aruban sun.
