Your route
Willemstad.
Start with a drive through the colourful historic capital, including Punda and waterfront landmarks such as the Queen Emma Bridge.
Salt plains and flamingos.
Stop to see Curaçao’s native pink flamingos in their natural habitat and enjoy the salt-flat scenery.
Hato Caves.
Explore limestone formations and learn about the caves’ history, including their use by indigenous Arawaks and escaped slaves.
Kokomo Beach.
Finish at a sheltered western-coast bay with turquoise water, time to relax and opportunities to snorkel.
What is included?
Bottled water, beach entrance, and pickup and drop-off from eligible hotels and cruise ports are included. Lunch, gratuities and beach-chair rental are not included.
Pickup is not available from Sandals, Coral Estate, Banda Abou or Jan Thiel hotels. Check pickup arrangements before booking if you are staying in those areas.
Where do cruise guests meet?
For Mega Pier 1 or Mega Pier 2 (Tula), walk to the white tents after leaving your ship and look for the Online Reservation sign. Allow around 5–10 minutes for the walk.
For Mathey Wharf, head to the port information stand. The Online Reservation sign is nearby, around a two-minute walk from your ship.
Look for our representative holding an Aida Travel Services sign. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your confirmed departure. This is a designated port meeting point, rather than collection at your ship’s gangway.
Read our Curaçao cruise-port guide for more meeting-point information. If you cannot find our representative, contact our team; cruise guests can also go to the port security building to make a free assistance call.
Hotel pickup
Pickup normally takes place 15–30 minutes before the tour begins, depending on your location. Our team may contact you if an earlier pickup is needed.
What should you bring?
- Comfortable clothing and walking shoes.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
- Your booking confirmation on your phone.
- Cash or a payment card for personal purchases.
- Swimwear, a towel and a change of clothes for beach time. A waterproof pouch can help protect valuables.
