"Bon biní" to Curaçao! That means "welcome" to Curaçao in our local language, Papiamentu. I'm Elton, a local island-boy born and raised in Curaçao who would be more than glad to show you around his island. As an avid traveller who has visited about 80 countries so far (probably your country too), my love and appreciation for Curaçao only kept on growing as I travelled more and more. Meeting people from across the globe with different backgrounds and cultures is one of the things I enjoy the most. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to the island. It would be an honour to share all this love and appreciation with you and also teach you some Papiamentu if you're interested! Feel free to request eventual customized activities so I can arrange it all. Send me a message, even when it shows that I'm unavailable!! ATTENTION: 1. My car is a Suzuki Ciaz 2017, a sedan model. It could be a different car on the day of the tour too, but it will be a sedan model of similar size. In addition to the driver, it could fit another 3 adults; 2 adults+2 kids; 3 adults+1 kid; 1 adult+3 kids; or 4 adults depending on their size. Take this into account! The tours are set for maximum 3 people, let me know if you have a party of 4 who would fit in the vehicle. 2. In case you or someone on your party has mobility issues (difficulties walking), I'd recommend sending me a message first instead of immediately booking so we can discuss and see whether it would be possible to do the tour. I hope to see you soon! :-) - Certified tour guide (CTA: Curaçao Tourist Attendance certificate, 2011) - Driver licenses B, C, D, E. - Certificate of "Safety on the road" (VVV-Veilig Verkeer) - Bachelor in Education (Geography) since 2005, including teaching experience since 2004. - World-traveler: 84 countries visited across 6 continents. - Experience as a guide since 2011 - Able to communicate in 6 different languages, next to our own Papiamentu. - Fully Covid-vaccinated (two Pfizer shots) - I am not licensed to guide inside some museums due to their regulations.

Overview of your Willemstad tour

Snorkeling has been one of my hobby's since I was a teenager! Did you know that Curaçao is well known for its excellent underwater visibility? During this tour I'll be snorkeling together with you at a minimum of 2 spots on the island. Discover the island's beautiful underwater marine life!
