Curaçao is the largest island of the Netherlands Antilles. Whilst it may be less known than its sister islands, Aruba and Bonaire, it is only a short hop away from each of them. Curacao is a colourful, historic island and a paradise for active holiday-makers, scuba divers, bikers, hikers and sailors. For the less active, Willemstad has good shopping and excellent beaches.  And superb restaurants. The night-life is hot and there's something to do or see every night of the week.

Curacao has a broad and unique bio-diversity with areas rich in flora and fauna and over 500-plus plant species. Curacao accommodates 51 breeding species of birds and a further 115 migrant birds visit the island from North America and Continental South America.  

It has a healthy cultural heritage above land but also beneath the sea with its many well preserved ship wrecks. Its twelve forts and the historic area of Willemstad have been placed on the world heritage list of UNESCO. The well preserved plantation houses can be visited on tours and some even provide accommodation to visitors.

Curacao has outstanding shore and wall dives, especially on the northwestern side of the island.  A favourite amongst advanced divers are boat-dives to Tugboat, the wall at Piedre Pretu and the wreck at Superior Producer. Highly ranked dive sites are Oswaldo's Place, Watamula, Mushroom Forest, Alice in Wonderland and Klein Curaçao which one can visit on a fun day trip for diving and snorkeling.
