Shete Boka means 'seven inlets' – the park is named for a series of picturesque coves carved out of the limestone. The area is a wild part of the Island with pounding surf at Boka Pistol, a natural water canon where forceful waves relentlessly pummel the cliffs, shooting the surf up to 40 feet high. Located adjacent to Christoffel National Park, Shete Boka Park was established as a protected area in 1994 to preserve these nesting areas for sea turtles, as there are nearly a dozen pocket bays where Hawksbill, Loggerhead and Green turtles lay eggs. There will be time for snorkeling and swimming. This tour is a photographer's dream - the scenery is pure Curaçao delight!  Includes: RT transportation, private tour guide, admission to SBNP, snorkel gear, bottled water & local pastry snack.  Min 20 ppl.

Visit the Otrabanda area and Museum Kurá Hulanda (meaning “Dutch courtyard” in Papiamento) - the region’s largest anthropological collection on Africa. The museum is located on a former slave yard and merchant’s home and focuses on the predominant cultures of Curacao. It offers a world-class chronicle of the Origin of Man, the African slave trade, West African Empires, Mesopotamian relics and Antillean art. This tour will take you on a journey through time from the history of Africa to Curaçao’s role in the Middle Passage as the epicenter of the slave trade. 

After the museum, guests are invited to reflect on their experience in the courtyard and enjoy leisure time shopping in the adjacent Kurahulanda Village.
