A THRILL SEEKER’S GUIDE

Famous for the tugboat that accidentally sunk years ago and rests at just 5 meters (17 ft.), Tugboat is one of the most popular snorkeling spots in Curaçao. After that, treat yourself to a drink at the beach bar.

Head back towards Caracas Baai for lunch in one of Curaçao’s top restaurants. And if you still have your snorkeling gear, you can explore the beach's underwater park.

Jan Thiel Beach, one of the island’s most popular beaches, is far more than just the beach. There are also plenty of activities, including flyboarding, shopping, watersports, and chartered boat tours.

As the sun sets and the night time festivities begin, you’ll find yourself in the perfect setting to enjoy the sundown as you head to Willemstad.

From the Dutch for “Little Curaçao,” is about a two-hour ride by boat. The island has no permanent inhabitants – fishermen will often stay for a few days at a time – making it an idyllic spot for a day trip.

Visitors can visit the island by private boat, all-inclusive sailing boats, Catamaran, power boat, and more.

Change your perspective on Willemstad by rappelling 45 meters (148 ft.) from the Queen Juliana Bridge, the "Queen of Curaçao".

The Old Market in Punda is a perfect representation of authentic Curaçaoan cuisine. Here you’ll find stobá (stew, usually with goat meat), Giambo (okra soup), and other local favorites, along with some international fare. Don’t expect fine dining here – just a few picnic tables – but of course, the warmth of the locals more than makes up for it.

Landhuis Chobolobo has been producing the “genuine Curaçao liqueur” since 1896, and one taste of their craft cocktails tells you how it has stood the test of time. You’ve seen blue Curaçao cocktails before; now taste it from the source!

Pietermaai offers perhaps the ideal end for your discovery of Curaçao. The area combines the history of the island – clearly visible through street art and architecture – with a vibrant atmosphere that, well, you simply have to feel for yourself.

Christoffel Park is the largest national park of Curaçao and a must see for everyone. The park has a rich variety of local flora and fauna. Nature lovers will find the park teeming with local birds and plants, including species, which are not easily seen elsewhere on the island.

Visit the salt pans at Rif Sint Marie, home to flamingos and several other waterbirds.

On the west side, we recommend turtle-spotting at Playa Piskado/Playa Grandi – or try a stand-up paddleboard session at designated beaches along both the east and west coasts.

And wherever you go, don’t forget your snorkel gear.

With so many different cultures, Curaçao's cuisine offers a unique blend of flavors. Taste Guiambo (a soup made from okra and seafood), karni stobá (a rich beef stew) or keshi yena (cheese stuffed with spiced meat, then steamed or baked).

Wakeboarding is a mix of surfing, skiing, and snowboarding. No previous experience required. Just book a session with a instructor to explore the turquoise waters of Curaçao in a new way - adrenaline rush guaranteed.

Fort Nassau boasts a 360º view over Curaçao. Built in 1797 by the Dutch, Fort Nassau lies on a hill next to the St. Anna Bay in the capital.

Buggies or ATVs allow access to places where few people go. In Curaçao some beautiful paths can't be discovered without taking an ATV or Buggy Tour. It is time to free your mind.

Spend the afternoon swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing. Watch as the sun sets over the island, then, toast your last night in Curaçao with drinks and dinner.
