Head to Guadirikiri Caves and find a dark and damp environment stretching an impressive 492 ft (100 m) into the mountain. The cave features two chambers, traditional Arikok cave drawings, stalagmites and stalactites, hundred of bats, and sun light piercing through holes in the cave's roof. According to legend, the daughter of an Indian chief fell in love and was imprisoned here by her disapproving father.

When you enter the cave, I do suggest you use your phone flashlight to help your eyes adjust and the floor is not flat…there are areas that rocks stick up and sadly I learned the hard way and fell...

Super cool experience. Very knowledgeable staff. Bats are cool; you may see some. Very careful with the ecology and the local wildlife - it's refreshing. Really enjoyed the visit, and it was great how the ranger there took a bunch of pictures for us.

Came here just based upon other reviews. The caves are of course, very dark, but if you go with a guide, you'll probably get a better lesson about what the caves hold than we did by going on our own. It's worth the stop and a pretty impressive cave system considering its location. No flash photography, and while some suggest taking flashlights, the guides the day we visited suggested not using lights (bats). Check the place out if you have time.

Pretty neat little cave. Guides are very knowledgeable and the two chambers are very pretty. Make sure you go see the second one! It’s much prettier and if the lighting and winds are right you might get to see a dust twister
-
A quick visit, as it’s not a deep cave. But there are two chambers that have beautiful openings to the sky that let in rays of sunshine. Worth the visit! And the park ranger showed me a snake perched in his gazebo!

Quadirkiri Cave and its surroundings are perfect for the naturalist, as are others who enjoy the natural history of a landscape. Hollowed out of the coral raised from the sea bed millions of years ago, there are two easily accessed rooms with oculars in the ceiling - and the blue skies of the Caribbean. Bats inhabit the more distant chambers, which are closed to the public, protecting the bats. The surrounding landscape of this National Park is pure Aruba. It is dry, covered by organ pipe, barrel, and other cactus species, along with arid-loving brush vegetation. Take some time to explore the caves and the surrounding landscape.
