Tour Overview

Duration: 5 hours

Your guided journey starts in the colourful capital of Willemstad, where the Dutch colonial architecture and Caribbean harbour set the stage for the island’s rich cultural heritage. You’ll arrive early and take in the vibrant waterfront and historic districts before heading off the beaten track.

From there the bus carries you to the salt plains near Sint Willibrordus where graceful pink flamingos feed in shallow tints of brine beneath the Caribbean sky — perfect for dramatic photographs and nature-lovers alike.

Next you’ll explore the Hato Caves: ancient limestone galleries that once sheltered indigenous Arawak communities and later served as a refuge for escaped slaves. Inside you’ll wander past stalactites and stalagmites, discover petroglyphs and hidden pools in this natural cavern system.

Finally you’ll relax at Kokomo Beach, a sheltered bay with calm turquoise water and a laid-back atmosphere. Here you’ll have time to snorkel or just unwind on the white sand, enjoying the natural serenity of the Caribbean. Transport, guide and entrance fees are all sorted; you just bring your camera and sense of wonder.

  Great experience Leo’s tour was an absolute gem. He effortlessly combined insightful commentary with a sprinkle of humor, creating an engaging and enjoyable experience. Although we had a few hiccups with booking, Leo’s passion for sharing his expertise in such a relaxed and friendly manner truly made our day.

  curacao The beach we were taken to was for certain activities such as diving for example, but not for a family group: impossible for a child for example, or to walk on it due to the amount of remaining coral. That should be noted, because I don't doubt that Curacao has better beaches. But Mrs. Aida is an excellent person and a good guide.

  Will only book with Aida Travel Services in Curacao - they were exceptional Our family was travelling together on a Norwegian Cruise throughout the Carribean, one of our excursions was unexpectedly cancelled by the cruise, so we found ourselves on our own with a full day to space in Curacao. I called around to various sites on the island, and was given a recommendation to call various tour operators, one was Aida Travel Services, for whatever reason, i was unable to contact any of them in advance (hard to call from the boat!). We were lucky and spotted an Aida representative in the port... to my surprise, the representative was Aida herself!. Aida took such good care of my family. She knew that the boat had cancelled many tours that day. She was eager to help and assist us and even called her son to confirm terms and make for a smooth transaction. It was pretty obvious that we were out of our comfort zone and an easy target for an aggressive tour operator to try to sell something expensive and really have no consequences if they don't deliver (we were leaving that evening). Let me tell you, Aida did EXACTLY what she said and sold, and she priced us more than fairly and the tour was perfect. Her tour guide, that went by the name of Lady, was also exceptional and did a great job of bi-lingually explaining all the sites. I was able to figure out on my own that Aida actually charged us 25% less than the going rate for the same tour the boat cancelled....really great..not to mention, we had some extra time before the ship departed..Aida's team offered to take us around for another 30 minutes to see the sites for free. You better believe we tipped well for all of that! We highly recommend Aida Travel Services --- Aida herself puts a personal touch on everything and is the real deal in Curacao. Great Job Aida!

  Beautiful day of excursion. Excellent service, with the driver Aida as the tour guide, I recommend it. He told us the historical review of Curacao and we were on the beach.
