If you are looking for the perfect Curacao cruise excursion, you probably already know that the choices are overwhelming. From the white sands of Mambo Beach to the historic caves, there is so much to see.
During our recent stop at the Curacao port, we tested out the Sea & See tour, and it quickly became one of our favorite port days. Here is everything you need to know about why this is a top-rated Curacao excursion.
Exploring Willemstad in Comfort
Many Curacao cruise excursions involve long, hot bus rides. One thing we loved about this tour was the air-conditioned bus—a must in the Caribbean heat! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out the famous vibrant Dutch architecture and even the island’s famous baseball stadium.
The Sea: Semi-Submarine Adventure
The “Sea” part of this Curacao excursion takes place at the Dreams Resort. You board a semi-submarine where you sit below the water line.
- The Marine Life: We saw schools of tropical fish, vibrant coral, and even a sea turtle!
- The Diver: About halfway through, a diver enters the water to feed the fish right in front of your window. It’s an incredible up-close experience.
We booked this directly through Carnival, but you can do just this part (while having to arrange your own transportation to and from) by booking here!
The See: Tallest Bridge in the Caribbean
One of the highlights of this tour is driving over the Queen Juliana Bridge. Standing at 200 feet high, it offers a stunning panoramic view of the port. If you want that “postcard-perfect” photo of your cruise ship from above, this is the excursion that gets you there.
A Taste of History: The Chobolobo Liquor Factory
No Curacao cruise excursion is complete without a stop at the Chobolobo Liquor Factory. You get to see exactly how the world-famous Blue Curacao is distilled and, of course, enjoy some free samples. It’s the perfect spot to pick up an authentic souvenir before heading back to the ship.
Final Verdict for our Curacao Cruise Excursion
If you want a Curacao excursion that combines history, city sights, and underwater adventure without a massive time commitment, this tour is a winner. It leaves you with plenty of time to explore the Rif Fort or do some shopping near the pier before your ship departs.
