Visiting Curacao? Looking for the best tours and adventures for your vacation? Welcome to the insiders’ guide to the best Curacao tours and adventures!

There is so much to do and see in Curacao, and guided tours are a fantastic way to see many parts of the island and to learn about its culture and history! Another reason I love guided tours is that they’re such a fun way to meet new people – especially if you’re traveling solo.

There are tons of tours to choose from in Curacao, ranging from ATV adventures to food tours and trips to the deserted island of Klein Curacao!

Let’s get right into the Insiders’ Guide to the Best Curacao Tours and Adventures!

Guide to the Best Curacao Tours and Adventures

Take a Full Island Tour

If you’re visiting Curacao on a cruise ship, or you just have a few days on the island, a full island tour is a great way to make the most out of your time on the island!

There are tons to choose from, ranging from customizable private tours, to small group tours, and even bus tours.

A few of the top rated options include:

Join a Walking Tour

Walking tours are so fun, and they’re a great addition to any Curacao vacation. I love that most walking tours are just an hour or two, and that you can easily fit them into a day filled with activities.

Walking tours are a great way to learn about the history and culture of the island and there are multiple tour options in Willemstad!

Discover the Best Beaches in Curacao

Curacao has tons of absolutely beautiful beaches to visit. However, travelers will need a rental car as there are beaches all over the island.

If you don’t plan to rent a car, or want to spend a day beach hopping without the stress of driving, consider taking a beach tour! These tours stop at many different beaches and give travelers chance to relax, swim and snorkel.

The beaches on the West Coast of the island differ from those on the East Coast – and I highly recommend that you visit both rocky and white sand beaches!

Beach tour recommendations:

Have Fun With Water Sports

There is no shortage of fun water sports to do while in Curacao! You can snorkel, scuba dive, and jet ski – just to name a few.

Although some of these activities can be done on your own, often a guide is very helpful – especially if you are new to snorkeling or diving. Additionally, guides know where all of the best spots on the island are, especially ones that are less well known to tourist.

Go on a Boat Adventure

Boat tours are always so fun – and they’re a great way to see the island from a different perspective. Some boat tours include swim stops, and others are just to relax and take in the beautiful views.

Enjoy a Sunset Catamaran Cruise

There’s something so wonderful about relaxing a boat and taking in the sunset! A sunset cruise is a great activity for friends, families and couples.

Many of these sunset cruises offer open bars and there are definitely party boats if that’s the vibe you’re looking for!
