How to Plan the Perfect Trip to Curaçao

"These northern-coast caves are known for guided walking tours amid dramatic underground formations that have names like Sleeping Giant and Mother Maria, set within a rugged landscape that one source described as having 'a lunar landscape that you have to see to believe.'" - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

Booked this as part of an excursion on a cruise and it was such a cool experience. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. They even took the time to make sure those in our tour who were less mobile were taken of, checking in, and providing areas to rest when needed, and that extra touch of hospitality really set them apart. Our guide gave a wonderful, exciting tour of the caves providing plenty of opportunities for us to just take in the scenery and snap photos at their designated photo op spots so we could leave with a wonderful memory to take home.

A decent cave to be guided through for the low price of $10. Warning: if you can't climb stairs, then stick to the flat carvings path and don't do the cave tour. To get to the cave you go up 50 or so steep steps. There are some interesting geological features inside and the guides will show you the bats that live there. The path to see the carvings is a nice walking trail. The area outside the caves is clean and well maintained. Lots of huge cacti to see and great spots for photo ops. You may spot a few birds but mostly you’ll see the blue tailed lizards. The staff are friendly and helpful as well. Not a bad way to spend an hour or two if you have a long airport layover in Curaçao.

Short and sweet tour stop. Nice to see something different and nature's work. Must go through the caves with a guide, tours run starting on the hour.

These caves are very close from the airport and they are very interesting and beautiful inside. They are not that big but still you can enjoy something unique. There are tours in English and Spanish. You cannot enter alone and you must go with a guide. They only let you take pictures at some specific points sadly. The entrance fee for tourists is $10.

Had a quick visit the Hato Caves before heading to the airport. It's was pretty busy and enjoy the tour. Worth to include the visit to your things to do during your Curaçao 🇨🇼 visit.

We visited Hato Caves while driving around the island. They have tours every half hour and were able to walk right into one. You climb several steps to get up to the caves. Tour was 45 min total. Very interesting inside. Grounds are beautiful. Guide was very knowledgeable. Fans running the caves to keep air flowing.

Quite interesting, however quite small, can't work out why most pictures are banned from being taken apart from certain areas?
