WHAT YOU VISIT
Hato Caves
A knowledgeable guide provides a walking tour through the dramatic, underground limestone 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," which you can see in the rock formations, as well as the famous Madonna statue. Within the caves, you will find unexpected crystal-clear pools. The caves are also a haven for a colony of rarely seen long-nose fruit bats. The caves were originally used as a hiding place for runaway slaves and prior to that as a shelter for island natives.

Beach
Enjoy one the Curacao's most beautiful and natural beaches of the west. Here you will have some fee time to relax on a chaise lounge, hang at the beach bar or swim in the amazingly blue water.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
The route back to the ship takes you past the salt flats of St. Marie Bay. From your seat, you might be lucky enough to capture a flock of pink flamingos that live and eat crustaceans in the salt water.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Travel through the historic district of Willemstad. 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, and you'll be able to spot Latin accents, African heritage, and Dutch traditions throughout the tour.
