Published: July 19, 2007
Located off of the North Coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean sea, the town of Williamstad sits on the shores of the isle Curacao. This 171 square mile island sits just below the hurricane belt, and is the most populated of the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao). Eclectic in culture, food and language, Curacao offers a plethora of tourism opportunities and adventure galore.
Curacao tours aim to inform tourists of the rich cultural history of the island, from the indigenous people to the Dutch settlement of 1651, and the various political hands it switched up into its modern day incarnation. Curacao Tours take place in two main forms: the Trolley Tour and the Curacao Cruise.
The trolley version of the Curacao tours starts at Fort Amsterdam and continues throughout the ancient city. The trolley tour includes stops at the wedding cake house, which is the most photographed building in Curacao, and onto the floating market where Venezuelan merchants peddle fish and trinkets. These Curacao tours gives tourism a new twist, with the trolley's quaint caboose-like appearance rallying through the centuries old city streets, passing the pastel estates hailing from the days when the town was a Dutch trading post.
Curacao tours also include the Curacao cruise that circles the breadth of the island telling sordid tales of piracy, slave trading and oil disputes. The Curacao Cruise also offers one of the islands' most splendid attractions: its corral reefs. On a Curacao Cruise, boaters are able to experience the gorgeous variety of Caribbean sea life from clown fish, sea turtles and virgin white corral gardens. A Curacao cruise is a way for tourists to explore the island from the outside looking in, discovering why the island has been an essential port of commerce for the ABC chain for the 400 years.
Curacao tours offer non-natives a chance to revel in the abundant history of the island, to experience the unique mixture of culinary delights, genre shattering musical performances and people whose primary language is a mixture of Spanish, Dutch, English and Papiamentu. Come experience the Curacao tours and visit salt mines, oil refineries and an eclectic group of citizens. With Curacao's location so close to the equator and the limited potential for hurricanes, the island is an ideal location for scuba divers and snorkel fanatics who enjoy maximum underwater visibility, complete with exotic sea life and warm Caribbean water. No Curacao tour is complete with out diving into these light blue waters to discover what lies beneath the waves.
Curacao tours offer tourists a chance to enjoy the multitude of wonders of this Caribbean island. Between water Curacao tours and a trolley Curacao tours, the island is accessible on all fronts for exploring and experiencing this multi-cultural goldmine. Visit Curacao today and experience the magic of this Caribbean trading post.
