What makes Curacao special among caribbean islands? Authenticity. The heritage is both European and African – representing more than 50 nationalities. The locals speak Dutch, Spanish, and English – as well as a local language, Papiamentu, a colorful Creole dialect. The best part of exploring Curacao is that it feels undiscovered, like an exclusive hideaway. One of the tiny “ABC islands” – Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao – this secluded slice of paradise is the Caribbean's best-kept secret. Locals and visitors mingle in harmony throughout the island. Willemstad, the capital city, is a charming port of high-end retailers, restaurants, and nightlife spots. It is one of the Caribbean’s few UNESCO world heritage cities. Vivid, sherbet-colored buildings showcase Dutch colonial architecture not to be found anywhere else outside of the Netherlands. A few of the optional excursions you may enjoy: Caves & City Highlights, Curacao Dolphin Encounter & Swim, Jewish Heritage Tour, and an Ostrich Farm & Aloe Plantation visit.

World-class resorts, fabulous restaurants, action-packed casinos,, duty-free shopping, and all kinds of land and sea activities and off-road adventures create the perfect Caribbean vacation. No wonder Aruba enjoys the highest repeat visitor rate of any Caribbean destination with more than half of its treasured friends returning year after year!
