Where the tour goes
The two ends of Curaçao could hardly be more different, and this day shows you both. It begins in Willemstad, the capital, whose historic inner city and harbor are on UNESCO's World Heritage List. On the Punda side of St. Anna Bay, the Handelskade waterfront is lined with colored merchant houses, and the floating market sets out its boats and awnings nearby.
The liqueur stop is at Landhuis Chobolobo, the yellow plantation house where Senior & Co. makes Curaçao liqueur. The island's best-known drink is flavored with the dried peel of the laraha, a bitter orange that grows on Curaçao.
From there the road heads west into Banda Abou, the dry, hilly end of the island, with cactus, salt pans where flamingos wade, and old plantation houses (landhuizen) on their hills. The tour's photos include Landhuis Knip, where the slave revolt of 1795 led by Tula began; a monument to the revolt stands in front of the house.
The photo stop at Knip Beach looks over Grote Knip (Playa Kenepa Grandi), a white beach in a turquoise bay that is one of the most photographed views on the island.
On the rough north coast, Shete Boka National Park is named for its seven inlets, or bokas, cut into the limestone. A path through the rocks leads to Boka Tabla, a cave where you can watch the waves break in.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the tour, and when does it run?
It runs every day from 9 AM to 3 PM, and the tour is listed at 360 minutes, so plan on about six hours. Yellow Adventures collects you from your hotel in the morning and brings you back in the afternoon; the exact pickup time depends on which hotel you are staying at.
Is there hotel pickup?
Yes. Yellow Adventures picks up at most major hotels on the island. Include the name of your hotel when you send your request, together with your preferred date and the number of guests. Kua Kaminda passes the request on to Yellow Adventures, and they confirm it.
What does the tour include?
The day covers Willemstad, a stop at the liqueur factory, both the east and the west side of the island, entrance to Shete Boka National Park, the old plantation houses (land houses), a photo stop at Knip Beach, the flamingo sanctuary and a stop for lunch. The lunch itself is not part of the price.
Is lunch included?
No. The tour makes a lunch stop, but you pay for your own meal. One of the tour photos shows karni stoba with aros moro, a Curaçao stew served with rice and beans, as an example of a local lunch; it is only an example and is not included.
How much does it cost?
The Curaçao Complete Island Tour costs USD 79 per person. The 9% government tax is already included in that price. Lunch is not included, so budget for it separately.
Which parts of Curaçao does the tour cover?
It is designed to show the whole island in one day, east and west. One side is Willemstad, with its colorful facades, its bridges and the liqueur made on the island. The other is the countryside of the west: hills, salt flats, flamingos, plantation houses and small coves, plus the wild north coast at Shete Boka National Park.
What vehicle is used?
The tour photos show Yellow Adventures' orange Hyundai minibus, including a picture of it parked by the floating market in Punda.
