Creator's Key Takeaways

Joseph, who is our tour guide on Curous, Joseph, thanks so much for taking us around. I'm one of the best tour guides in Curisso, I would say, but I'm a little bit biased.

The western side of the island has these soft, smooth, calm beaches. You'll find your white sand, your turquoise waters, and very gentle tides.

I would suggest to you that having a private driver that could drive you back into Boca Pistol is absolutely worth it. The buses can't get there and it's a little bit of a walk.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book locally and directly with the vendor.
Use a private driver to reach Playa Piscado because buses cannot get there and it involves a walk.
Visit the floating bridge in Willemstad, but be aware it opens and closes for shipping traffic.
