Updated: Apr 10

Curaçao, a captivating Caribbean island, is a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors, rich history, and enchanting natural beauty. Its capital, Willemstad, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its pastel-hued architecture lining the harbor. Curaçao's vibrant culture is a reflection of its Dutch, African, and Spanish heritage. The island's beaches are a paradise for sunseekers, with soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. For those seeking adventure, Curaçao offers a wealth of activities, from exploring underwater caves and snorkeling among colorful coral reefs to hiking through lush national parks and discovering hidden waterfalls. Below you'll discover what the island has to offer.

Breath of Curacao Safari

This tour visits the North West coast of Curacao where the wind forces the sea with such a force on the coast that you will find water spectacles such as the natural jaccuzi.

The powerful breaking of the waves not only creates water spectacles such as Boka Pistol (the natural water canon) and Boka Tabla (a cave you should not miss when visiting Curacao) but also the typical thunder that locals call the Breath of Curacao.
