Things to do in Willemstad, Curacao: The Best Tours
The lively capital of Curacao is a welcoming, upbeat destination with two distinct historic districts divided by the lovely St. Anna Bay. Punda, site of neat, narrow streets, is crammed with shops and museums. Otrobanda, or "The Other Side," is a maze of twisting residential streets, contrasting with the organized grid across the bay. Willemstad's colorful colonial architecture has won it UNESCO Heritage site designations. Diving and swimming with dolphins are popular activities in the bay.

We had a great adventure with this kayaking tour. The kayaks are transparent and we could take photos right through the bottom. The kayaks were stable and easy to maneuver, even under the pier. The guide was pleasant and willing to change up the tour to our interests. Great way to get a little exercise and enjoy. Fantastic value. It exceeded our expectations!

I visited Curacao for a day as part of my Southern Caribbean Cruise with Norwegian Epic in December 2019. I had originally planned to rent a car and explore independently but eventually decided on a private tour instead. And I am very happy to have done so! Nicole was our guide and she was just great! I exchanged a number of emails with her before the trip and she carefully listened to our preferences and put together a perfect itinerary for the day. We had two great snorkelling stops, chances to spot wildlife from flamingos to pigs to iguanas, delicious (vegetarian) lunch with a view and opportunities to experience some of the more remote corners of the island. As requested, Nicole took us back to Willemstad for some exploration by foot in good time before it was time to return to the ship. Nicole even added a shopping centre to the itinerary for some emergency shopping after I managed to break my flip-flops during the trip. All through the day, Nicole was very friendly and knowledgeable about the island and it was a great pleasure to talk to her. I would highly recommend Samurai Curacao for day trips in Curacao. Read more about the excursion (and the cruise!) on my blog Hopping Around the Globe in Style.

Got the opportunity to complete my PADI open water course! I was offered a free "sample" in the swimming pool and from there loved every minute of it! I decided on an introduction dive at first and then went on and to complete my PADI. My instructor Maurice was the best! He took enough time to explain things and had great patience to make sure everyone felt at ease. He's very adequate on answering questions and assisting with any issues. It's a great organisation and I can honestly recommend them if you are thinking about any diving experience! Thanks a bunch to them! I'm sure to return one day!

We recently returned for our second Breeze trip to Klein Curacao, and for good reason! The staff is just incredible. Anna Maria and Camilo did everything to make sure we were having a great time. The lunch served is delicious. Plenty of drinks to go around! Music, dancing, such a fun time!! The island itself is a must see when traveling to Curacao. You can lounge on the gorgeous beach, walk to the lighthouse and the shipwrecks, snorkel. We saw tons of fish, turtles, and dolphins. Anna Maria and Camilo were great in helping point out the animals to look at. Can’t recommend Breeze Boat Trips enough!
8. Klein Curacao Powerboat Adventure
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 89 reviews
Fast Powerboat adventure to the beautiful island of Klein Curacao. With our RIB-boats you do not have to worry about sea sickness, which is the #1 thing that makes us stand out. With a top speed of up to 45 m/ph (70 km) your adrenaline adventure is unforgettable. Unlike other boats, with us you don't have to wake up super early to go to Klein Curacao, we depart at 10 am and get back around 4 pm. This Powerboat adventure is perfect for thrillseekers that want to see Klein Curacao but do not want to spend a long, exhausting day there. The adventure is not for the faint at heart, we have to respect the ocean and sometimes this means a very bumpy ride on the way to Klein Curacao. This also means that we sometimes may have to change your trip due to the conditions on sea. On Klein Curacao you can spot sea turtles, walk around on the island, explore the lighthouse and relax on the beautiful white sand. The crew serves a Caribbean lunch: burger, salads and fruits, served on the beach.
Inclusions: Bottled water, Soda/Pop, Beer and wine, Use of Snorkelling equipment, Burger, salads and fruit are included

We did the flamingo-snorkel-and beach tour a couple of days ago and we were totally satisfied. The guides, Sevi, Patrick and Eddy made sure everyone is having a great time! Snorkeling with turtles was a huge dream of ours and it was awesome! There were so many turtles and Patrick took beautiful underwater photos of the animals. The guides were helping us after the tour, too. Traveling these corona days are not always easy, but they helped us with some useful information.

The introduction session will take approximately 4 hours. This is partly theory about diving, the dangers and how to dive safely. After this theory session you'll go to the tugboat dive spot. This is open water, but the first part is defined as confined water. When everybody is comfortable, you'll descend one by one to work on equalization and to perform the exercises. After this is all done there is a dive tour to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
Inclusions: Local guide, Dive equipment
