Getting There

Public Transportation
To reach Natural Bridge using public transportation, you can take a bus to the entrance of Arikok National Park. Look for buses that head towards the park; they usually leave from Oranjestad. Once you arrive at the park entrance, you will need to either walk or arrange for a taxi to take you to Natural Bridge, as the bus does not travel into the park itself. The taxi fare may vary, so it's advisable to agree on a price before starting your journey. Expect the ride to be around 10-15 minutes.
