Itinerário
A caverna dos índios ameríndios Arawak e Caiquetio, que viveram no entorno desta área e deixaram as pinturas rupestres, tem pelo menos 1.500 anos. A caverna é oficialmente protegida pelo estado desde 1967. Você fará um passeio pela caverna de 1 hora com um guia experiente, que fornecerá todas as informações sobre a história e o significado cultural da caverna.
Kas di Pal’i Maishi”, que significa Casa do Cornstalk, é uma bela casa tradicional restaurada que oferece um olhar na vida rural de Curaçao de mais de um século atrás. Construído a partir de materiais naturais como argila, barro e caules de milho, representa as casas humildes que a comunidade afro-curaçaoa da ilha vivia depois da emancipação. Hoje, é um pequeno museu ao ar livre onde os visitantes podem aprender sobre as tradições agrícolas locais, a vida diária e a resiliência dos habitantes de Curaçao. Mesmo quando você passar, seu Guia compartilhará a história e o simbolismo por trás deste marco cultural - um lembrete das raízes profundas e do espírito duradouro da ilha.
A Unesco nomeou há alguns anos Grote Knip como a "praia mais bonita do Caribe". É também a praia mais fotografada da ilha tropical e você verá por quê! Enquadrado por dramáticos penhascos de pedra calcária e cercado por águas turquesa, é perfeito para nadar, snorkeling, ou simplesmente relaxar em areia branca macia. Suas águas claras e calmas tornam-no ideal para famílias, casais e amantes da fotografia. Uma visita a Grote Knip é uma experiência quintessential de Curaçao, oferecendo vistas deslumbrantes que são postais-perfeitas em todos os ângulos. Esta praia é provavelmente a praia mais famosa de toda a ilha, com uma vista deslumbrante e incrível para snorkeling.
Daaibooi Beach é um dos pontos mais serenos e encantadores da costa oeste de Curaçao, amado pelos moradores por suas águas calmas e vibe relaxado. Situado entre penhascos rochosos e verde exuberante, esta jóia escondida é perfeita para nadar, snorkel ou simplesmente descansar em areia macia enquanto absorve o sol. As águas cristalinas tornam fácil perceber peixes coloridos e, se tiver sorte, tartarugas marinhas graciosas deslizando ao longo do recife - uma experiência mágica para amantes da natureza e famílias. Áreas de piquenique sombreadas, moradores locais amigáveis e vistas panorâmicas da costa adicionam ao charme, tornando-a uma parada perfeita para relaxar e capturar fotos deslumbrantes. Se você está procurando uma aventura na água ou um momento de paz na costa, Daaibooi Beach oferece uma experiência autêntica e inesquecível Curaçao.
Experimente um dos locais de vida selvagem mais icônicos de Curaçao no Santuário Flamingo perto de Sint Willibrordus.

This was a great overview of the island. We received an email a few days before the tour with instructions on where to meet. We were able to easily find them at the port (warning, you have to walk past all the ship excursions). The guide was very friendly and informative. There were only two families on the tour which was a nice size. We toured the caves first and then went to the two beaches with a final stop at the Salt flats to see flamingos. You do have to pay for loungers at the beaches ($5 each, cash). There was food available at the second beach and it was reasonably priced and good.
The ride was nice and well done by Guide Neli. She is very kind and shared great curiosities about Curacau and surroundings. We had a good time. Suggestions to make it even better: 1 - It would be better to extend the time at the Great Knip beach. It was very short. 2 - The Flamingo viewpoint was not interesting at all. I don't know if it´s the time of the year, but anyway, the place is not beautiful, and there were no Flamingos there. They could be aware of this before taking us there. The time invested commuting and staying there could be used better in another beach or so.
We did not visit Kas di Pal'i Maishi. The caves were nice and we enjoyed that stop. Grote Knip was completely overcrowded. We had one hour. We waited the entire tine just to get a drink and a burger. The beach was filthy was well. I realize its high season, but it was not worth the long drive to not be able to enjoy it. Virtally the same for the beach. Completely overcrowded. We did go in the water. Water shoes are a MUST as there are coral pices abd sharp shells everywhere. It drops off quick and there are large boulders under the sea. The flamingos were ok. They were pretty far away so not much to see. Overall we spent more time traveling vs seeung things. The bus had a serious drive shaft issue and the driver was filling the radiator and oil at every stop.
This tour includes a little bit of everything! The caves were really interesting but just know that you cannot photograph much in there. Only small sections of the cave. We got to see the flamingos but they have been very far off in the distance. The beaches were great. At the first beach, we snorkeled and saw one turtle! I highly recommend WATER SHOES. The beaches are very rocky. The second beach we went to was the best beach we’ve been to here in Curaçao! It was so beautiful. The water was crystal clear and it wasn’t as rocky as most beaches. Also, be aware that they charge you for everything at this beach; the shower, the bathroom, and the beach chairs. Overall it was a super fun and educational experience! Our tour guide Nelly was fabulous!!
The tour didn’t meet the value of the price. Our driver was nice but we got started later than anticipated. Hato caves was neat to see but objectively short for the long ride to get there. The air conditioning in the bus malfunctioned so it was a hot day of bus travel. The sea turtles we were anticipating seeing ended up being one guy who was feeding a sea turtles while groping women posing them for pictures and demanding tips. Playa Knepa was beautiful but it was an extortion tour. The chairs cost money, the shower to wash your feet cost money, access to a bathroom cost money. For the price of what it cost to do the tour we added an extra $100 to be able to eat and sit during the course of the day. If you want to see these places I would recommend them but given the timeframe we were operating on and what it cost to be there you would be better off renting a car and doing it on your own time.
Great tour! The beaches are amazing and the water is out of this world! Ask your driver to do a stop for lunch bc the food was great! It’s VERY hot so be prepared! They do give you drinks if needed! Very friendly and the town is great!
Very helpfull and friendly guide. Package contains everything as described. Reserve in time as the bus is only having space for 9 people.
The tour was great! We saw all the local spots. Tour guide was friendly took our pictures and showed us all the local spots
Nearly cancelled due to lack of communication before trip, but glad we didn’t. Great trip seeing multiple highlights. The turtle beach was not very impressive- glad it was not our only beach experience on Curscao.
The tour operator was to have picked us up from our resort at 8:35. We arrived in the lobby at 8:15. Our only instructions were to look for a driver in a blue shirt with an embroidered company logo on it. At 8:35, we still never saw this person. There was a single, unmarked van in the drive but no operator was clearly visible. Our lobby reception staff informed us that many tours were not allowed within the resort and picked up from the front gate so we went there at 8:40. The only ride awaiting here was for a dive shop. We checked with the gate staff and were told no tour operators had been admitted thus far today. We waited at the gate until 9:15 before giving up. I immediately reached out to the tour company and was told that a refund would not be issued as we had missed our ride. I was told that they attempted to reach me via cell phone but being in a foreign country, no service was available. I was also told that they attempted to call our room but we were not there as we were awaiting them in the lobby/front gate. This was a highly anticipated tour by my young children due to the sea turtles. BOOK WITH EXTREME CAUTION! If interested in similar tour, consider the cheaper alternatives.
Dear Ashley, Thank you for your recent feedback. First and foremost, I want to sincerely say how sorry I am that your experience with us did not meet your expectations, especially knowing how much your children were looking forward to seeing the sea turtles. That is the last thing we ever want for our guests. However, I also feel it’s important to clarify the situation from our side, not to argue, but to ensure that future guests have a complete understanding of how our process works and what may have contributed to the unfortunate outcome. Our records show the following: • Our driver Nelly arrived at 8:30 AM at your resort. • She waited with our marked vehicle (white van) and attempted to reach you four times by phone at 8:32, 8:34, 8:36, and again later. • The front desk was contacted at 8:45 AM, and they confirmed that they attempted to reach your room. • Our driver remained on site until 8:50 AM, before leaving to continue the tour with the rest of the group. • We also have a time-stamped photo of the lobby area, confirming the van’s presence. We understand that you were waiting in the lobby and then at the gate. Unfortunately, due to resort-specific gate restrictions and your phone being unreachable, we were unable to make the final connection in time. While we did everything on our part to locate you, we do understand how frustrating this experience must have been. That said, we also have a responsibility to our schedule and other guests on the tour, which is why our policy does not allow for refunds in cases where all pickup protocols were followed. That being said, your feedback is valuable. Moving forward, we are: • Reinforcing clearer pick-up communication (e.g., including photos of our vans and uniformed drivers). • Sending reminders 24 hours in advance with a WhatsApp number or resort-specific meeting point, especially for properties with gate restrictions. • Asking all guests to be reachable via hotel reception if phone service is unavailable. We hope you’ll see this message not as a defense, but as part of our commitment to improving guest experience. If your family ever returns to Curaçao, we would love the chance to make it up to you with a complimentary upgrade or special service. Oss
