Description
This is a private, half-day (approx. 4–5 hours) guided tour around Curaçao where you explore many of the island’s highlights with a local guide. The tour is tailored to your group (so you don’t share with strangers). The guide will pick you up from your hotel or, if arriving by cruise, from a designated location near the port (Starbucks near port)
Along the way, you’ll see coastal scenery, natural parks, cultural sites, beaches, and more. One of the stops is Shete Boka National Park, which requires an additional admission fee (USD 15 for adults, USD 2 for children up to 12). The tour includes water, snacks, fruit, and dinner.
This tour is marked “Not wheelchair accessible,” and people with serious medical conditions are advised it may not be suitable.
Reviews mention some variability in what was offered versus advertised. One traveler said the vehicle was in poor condition and parts didn’t work well, although they praised the guide’s knowledge and storytelling.

Traveler Tips
- Verify pickup details ahead of time. Make sure you know exactly where the pickup point is (e.g. Starbucks near port) or confirm your hotel pickup time.
- Carry local currency or a card. The Shete Boka National Park admission is extra, so you’ll need cash or card for that.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You may be walking on uneven terrain or in nature sites.
- Bring sun protection. Hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and possibly a light jacket for coastal winds.
- Check vehicle condition when boarding. Some past guests reported problems with the vehicle (doors not opening, interior in bad condition) — inspect and bring it up politely if there’s an issue.
- Ask your guide to tailor stops. Since it’s private, you may be able to adjust which sites or how long you spend at stops, based on your interests.
- Be on time. The excursion has a tight schedule; delays may reduce your time at certain stops.
- Take photos early. Some of the best scenic views are early in the route, before fatigue sets in.
- Prepare for varying weather. Coastal areas may be windy, so a light windbreaker or umbrella could help.
- Confirm cancellation or refund policy. Even though 24-hour free cancellation is listed, always double-check in booking confirmation.
