"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

This is an excellent, short shore-excursion to give you a bit of a Curaçao experience. Did you know that enslaved Africans actually discovered caves they hid in? You'll get a guided tour at the Hato Caves that were formed more than 300. 000 years ago. Get a taste of the well-known Curaçao Liqueur and we will go and spot some flamingos before ending up at a beautiful beach to relax, have something to eat or snorkel if you want. There is a choice from two beaches (See below in "Itinerary" section) * Please note that I cannot guarantee that there will always be flamingos to be seen during the tour. So far every time I have been there, there were flamingos but the quantity varies. * Curaçao Liqueur Distillery is only open from Monday till Friday. During weekends only when certain cruise-ships are in port!!!
