Best recommendations what to do in Curacao?

[peanut1277]

Is it best to go to a beach or tour the town ? I really don't see too much to excursions. Maybe snorkeling, but not the best at it.

It’s a personal choice depending on how much time your ship is in port.  We walked off the ship on a very rainy, windy day & our snorkel excursion was cancelled.   We found several small buses there at the dock and booked a 2 hour tour with Ben’s Tours for $20pp including the Curacao Factory (has samples!!) and a beer on the bus.  

 

We have also used Irie Tours doing their 6 hour west beach tours.  $65 pp and very good.  You see some sites plus get beach and/or snorkel time.  They have a big white tent and will take walk ups if enough room.  We pre-booked this one before we left as there were 4 of us wanting to do it.  They offer different tours so google them and see if one interests you.

 

The town is very walkable too and it’s nice just strolling around, over the bridge, through the shops, have lunch etc.  

 

I love Curacao!  Have fun, hope this helps.

You are most welcome!   Hope you are in port for many hours.  You can do a morning excursion then walk around the town.

We usually go to the beach in the morning and spend the afternoon walking around Willemstad.  (Have lunch on the ship.)

When you get off the ship the first thing you walk by on the port is the Curacao Welcome Center, grab a map of the city(Willemsted) and walk around town, place is beautiful people very inviting. Curacao is very quickly becoming one of my favorite islands. Have fun.

Other than a day pass at a resort I don't know of any beaches.

We went to Blue Bay Beach which was nice.  Went by bus which then picked us up.

If you are wanting a calm no rocks in the water, Mambo beach is it.
