Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Willemstad, Curacao
The lively capital of Curacao is a welcoming, upbeat destination with two distinct historic districts divided by the lovely St. Anna Bay. Punda, site of neat, narrow streets, is crammed with shops and museums. Otrobanda, or "The Other Side," is a maze of twisting residential streets, contrasting with the organized grid across the bay. Willemstad's colorful colonial architecture has won it UNESCO Heritage site designations. Diving and swimming with dolphins are popular activities in the bay.

This was supposed to be a 4 hour fishing trip. Well the 4 hours began when captain boots picked up the party at the cruise terminal. There were only two fishing rods and one piece of bait for 4 people. No fish were caught and it was a total waste of money. At $140 a person...this is unacceptable. Please plan for the amount of people you will have on board.

I visited Curacao for a day as part of my Southern Caribbean Cruise with Norwegian Epic in December 2019. I had originally planned to rent a car and explore independently but eventually decided on a private tour instead. And I am very happy to have done so! Nicole was our guide and she was just great! I exchanged a number of emails with her before the trip and she carefully listened to our preferences and put together a perfect itinerary for the day. We had two great snorkelling stops, chances to spot wildlife from flamingos to pigs to iguanas, delicious (vegetarian) lunch with a view and opportunities to experience some of the more remote corners of the island. As requested, Nicole took us back to Willemstad for some exploration by foot in good time before it was time to return to the ship. Nicole even added a shopping centre to the itinerary for some emergency shopping after I managed to break my flip-flops during the trip. All through the day, Nicole was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and it was a great pleasure to talk to her. I would highly recommend Samurai Curacao for day trips in Curacao. Read more about the excursion (and the cruise!) on my blog Hopping Around the Globe in Style.

Wow! I felt like I saw most of the island in one day! I started with a 5:30 AM hotel pickup to hike Christoffelberg, and then we visited Shete Boka park. We stopped at multiple beaches, saw sea turtles and flamingos, and drove through downtown Willemstad. Ray was great, and as an island native, he was able to explain much about the history and culture of the island. He was very accommodating and professional, willing to stop for pictures, allow as much time at stops as desired, and overall very pleasant company. I was glad I did this tour in the beginning of my trip, because he provided food recommendations as well as suggestions for other tours and things to do on the island. We even stopped to get coconuts at the end of the tour, and I was back at the hotel by mid-afternoon. You will miss out if you don't do this tour.
