Book Your Tour Local
A cancellation up to 24 hours prior to departure of the tour entitles the guest to a 100% refund.

In case of illness, only the person who is ill will receive a 100% refund. Other participants within the same booking that cancel the tour will not receive a refund unless otherwise decided by the supplier depending on the circumstances. No-shows, or if you miss the tour because you are too late, and cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled activity will be charged the full price. In case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances the tour will be rescheduled, if rescheduling is not possible or the new time is inconvenient for you, a full refund will be issued.
UTV, ATV & Buggy Tours
Head west to discover a wilder side of Curacao. Around the San Pedro area, the terrain becomes an off-roader’s playground of coral rock, towering cacti, blowholes, and rugged cliffs. A UTV, ATV, or buggy is the perfect way to explore this landscape, and guided tours ensure you won’t miss any of the hidden lookouts, secluded caves, or viewpoints along the way. Having done these tours ourselves, we can confirm - every bump is worth the view.
Many west coast adventures also include a stop at the Hato Caves, one of the island’s most fascinating natural landmarks. Formed over 300,000 years ago, the caves reveal limestone formations, underground pools, and ancient Arawak petroglyphs. Guided tours are offered on-site, so check the latest opening hours if you plan to visit independently.
On the east coast, the scenery changes dramatically. Around St. Joris Bay, trails pass salt flats, cactus fields, and rocky cliffs where waves crash below. Some tours even stop at secluded beaches or natural pools where you can take a refreshing dip.
If you are looking for an active, dusty, and high-energy day, UTV, ATV, and buggy tours deliver plenty of thrills from start to finish.
Jeep Tours
For a slightly smoother but equally adventurous off-road experience, Jeep tours are a great fit. With a high vantage point and powerful 4x4 capability, Jeeps can reach remote corners of the island that standard vehicles can’t. These tours often combine rugged driving with relaxed sightseeing, offering the best of both worlds.
Expect visits to dramatic shorelines, desert trails, and historic sites, along with opportunities to swim or explore natural pools. Whether you choose an open-air safari-style Jeep or a more comfortable air-conditioned model, you will get an up-close look at Curacao’s untamed landscapes.
Jeeps are perfect for families, older travelers, and anyone who wants the excitement of off-road exploration without driving themselves.
