What you will visit:
Hato Caves
Join a knowledgeable guide for a walking tour through the dramatic underground grottos. Marvel at the imposing stalactites and stalagmites, which produce unusual shadows in the caves' eerie lighting. Your guide will point out the "Pirate's Head," the "Sea Turtle" and the "Giant." Within the caves, you will find unexpected, crystal-clear pools and waterfalls that form in the limestone's depths. The caves are also a haven for a colony of rarely seen long-nose fruit bats. These caves were originally used as a hiding place for runaway slaves and prior to that as a shelter for island natives. It is possible to find cave drawings on the rock walls that date back over 1,000 years. Outside of the caves, you can see the famous Madonna statue.
Mambo Beach (1.5 hours of independent time)
Situated on the eastern part of the island, this enticing man-made beach is one of the most popular in Curaçao. The lively boardwalk is lined with bars, restaurants and boutiques, a treasure trove of local and international brand-name stores, as well as a variety of souvenir shops. Beach chairs included.
Willemstad (scenic drive)
The port of Willemstad is alive with historical treasures. One of the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Caribbean, it was selected in 1997 because of the city's dedication to the preservation of culture and its multicultural community that has grown over three centuries. The architecture and ambiance of Willemstad reflect influences from around the globe.
What you will see along the way:
