Curaçao - Mini travel guide

curacao


Curaçao is part of the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean area which also consists of islands like Aruba and Bonaire. It is a small island of just 10 miles across, compromising 160,000 inhabitants. Because of Curacao's colonial history it is culturally and demographically very diverse, boasting some typical Dutch cultural elements as well. The island has one of the world's most beautiful beaches with pearly white sand and crystal clear water. For the active visitor the island is a water sport paradise. If you plan on visiting Curaçao, have a look at this mini travel guide with tips and information about visiting Curaçao.

Highlights of Curaçao

  • Snorkeling and diving: Curaçao's maritime world possesses a great biodiversity, with stunning coral reefs to explore. It is one of the most popular locations for diving in the Caribbean. You can also dive and swim with wild dolphins and other sea creatures.
  • Kite surfing. The prevailing winds make Curaçao a popular kite surf destination. The season starts around March or April.
  • Sailing. Curaçao is home to several international sailing competitions and is a very good sailing destination.
  • Night life: from the African Tumba to the South American Merengue, Curaçao’s rich heritage plays a big role in its energetic music scene and nightlife. There are beach parties on a regular basis, but there are also enough bars and clubs where you can dance and party.
  • Carnival: The annual carnival is the highlight of the year for many Curaçaoans. Streets are filled with vibrant colours and exotic music. The colourful event lasts for almost a month, and it is definitely a must-see!
  • International Jazz festival: One of the biggest music festivals of Curaçao which takes place in September.
  • Willemstad: From the floating market in the old town of Punda to the colourful houses along the Handelskade and amazing Antillian food at Marshe Bieu (the old food market). The capital of Curaçao has a rich history, lots of museums, shops, restaurants and beautiful architecture.
  • Mambo-beach: This is probably one of the most popular beaches. As such it's pretty busy but also very well facilitated with cocktail bars, live music and an open air cinema.

Health and safety in Curaçao

Generally speaking, Curaçao is considered as a safe country, but there are a few areas to be aware of:

  • Mosquitoes love Curacao's climate too. So don't forget to pack your insect repellent!
  • You will only need a vaccination when you have visited a yellow fever area.
  • Tap water in Curaçao is safe to drink, it falls within the World Health Organisation quality standards. The water supply consists of distilled seawater.
  • From June to November hurricanes can occur in the Caribbean area. Yet they rarely reach Curaçao.
  • Despite the village like feel, Curaçao has areas where vigilance is required. Don't show off your expensive jewellery and don't walk around with too much cash in your wallet. Keep valuable possessions in your bag or even better in a safe at the hotel. Avoid alleys, unpatrolled beaches after dark and other quiet or dark streets because these can be unsafe.
  • The traffic is mostly safe in Curaçao. Yet Curaçaoans often don't take traffic rules too seriously
  • All drugs, hard and soft, are illegal. Possessing or using drugs, any drugs including marihuana or prescription drugs for which you can’t provide the prescription, is punished severely. Bring a Medical Passport or an official prescription when using medication, especially any sedatives and strong painkillers containing codeine.
  • In case of emergency you can call the tourist emergency number: 917.

Transport in Curaçao

  • Public transport in Curaçao is fairly limited. Buses don't adhere to a strict timetable but are nonetheless a cheap option. The two major bus stations are at Punda and Otrabanda. Apart from the standard big buses, there also smaller vans that offer public transport. They don’t have a timetable.
  • Due to the limited public transport options, it is definitely recommended to rent a car or scooter to explore the island. The roads are mostly paved and well maintained.
  • There can be age restrictions to rent a car. Check with your chosen rental company beforehand.
  • Taxis are generally cheap and reliable in Curaçao. However, taxis fares are unmetered; drivers may have fare-sheets available. Agree on a price beforehand. Official taxis are easily recognized by having a license plate that is marked with the letters "TX".
Back to top

Accommodation, food and drinks in Curaçao

  • Accommodation in Curaçao mainly consists of luxurious hotels and resorts. These are generally expensive. There are some cheaper options like bed & breakfasts, simple apartments and Airbnb. Hostels are very rare in Curaçao. Camping is also an option. There are several camp sites where you can pitch a tent or rent a caravan.
  • Curaçao has a very diverse cuisine. From typical Dutch to Japanese, Argentinean, Italian, Brazilian and more. Local specialties are: grilled iguana or ostrich, karni stoba (beef stew) and kabritu (goat stew), Sopi di banana (a soup made of bananas) and Pastechi (a savoury pie).
  • Happy Hour: a lot restaurants and beach clubs offer drinks at half price during happy hour. You can drink different alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails like Piña colada, fruit punch and Awa di Lamunchi (a typical Curaçaoan drink made with lime syrup). Also popular are Amstel Bright (a beer which tastes a bit like Corona) and of course Blue Curaçao, sometimes simply referred to as Curaçao. This liqueur is made with the dried peels of the Laraha, the bitter orange native to Curaçao meaning Golden Orange of Curaçao.

Curaçao coast

Some general guidelines to stay safe while visiting Curaçao

General safety

  • Generally speaking, Curaçao is considered to be safe, but robberies and petty crime happen on occasion.
  • Watch out for pickpockets. Don't show off your expensive jewellery and don't walk around with too much cash in your wallet. Keep valuable possessions in your bag or even better in a safe at the hotel.
  • Incidents of robbery are not uncommon so avoid alleys and other quiet or dark streets because these can be unsafe.
  • Serious crimes occur mostly in the organised criminal world, involving drugs or weapons trade. As an outsider you will usually not get caught up in this. Drug related crimes are punished severely.
  • In case of emergency you can call the tourist emergency number: 917.

Criminality

  • Most serious crimes are part of the organised criminal world involving drugs or weapons trade. As a visitor it is unlikely you will be dealing with these kind of crimes.
  • Keep an eye on your luggage at all times – especially at the airport and busy tourist spots – don't accept packages from anyone and ensure nothing can be placed in your luggage.

Forces of nature

  • From June to November hurricanes can occur in the Caribbean area. Yet they rarely reach Curaçao.

Traffic

  • The traffic is mostly safe in Curaçao. Yet Curaçaoans often don't take traffic rules too seriously. For example, sometimes drivers will overtake on the right side instead of on the left. Frequently the rule of giving way to traffic from the right is also put into practice differently.
  • Watch out for scooters and cars without lights at night.
  • Be aware that drunk driving is not uncommon in Curaçao.
  • Curaçaoans drive on the right side of the road.

Legislation

  • All drugs, hard and soft, are illegal. Possessing or using drugs, any drugs including marihuana or prescription drugs for which you can’t provide the prescription, is punished severely. Bring a Medical Passport or an official prescription when using medication, especially any sedatives and strong painkillers containing codeine.

Dangerous areas

  • Check what areas are deemed unsafe before arriving in Curaçao so you don't accidentally end up somewhere dangerous.
  • Do keep in mind these areas change so always check the up to date safety information.
  • Areas that are traditionally considered unsafe (especially at night) are: Koredor, Punda, Otrabanda, the Mambo Beach parking lot, the neighbourhoods of Scharloo, Fleur de Marie, Seru Fortuna, Marchena, Seru di Kandela, Souax, Koraalspecht, Seru Loraweg, Dein, Kanga, and most beach areas.
  • Avoid remote and unpopulated areas and unpatrolled beaches after dark.

EXPLAINED

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a long trip abroad?

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a long trip abroad?

Why should you take out specialized travel insurance for a long trip abroad?

  • Regular travel or health insurances often only cover trips for a maximum number of days (for example 60, 90 or 180 days). This limits your flexibility!
  • Your health insurance from back home may not offer any coverage abroad or only in specific hospitals.
  • During a long trip you might undertake special activities like paid work or volunteering. Regular travel insurances usually don’t cover these kind of activities. The same goes for adventurous sports like skydiving, scuba diving and bungee jumping.

Volunteer or intern abroad insurances

  • Working as a volunteer or intern offers a great learning experience. Meet new people and make a difference! You will develop your knowledge and skills, as well as that of others. You will gain international skills, contribute to a better world and gain useful experience for on your resume.
  • However, just like at home there is always a chance that something goes wrong during your time abroad. Such as sickness, accidents, stolen luggage and of course things that can go wrong back home that you may ned to return for. 
  • If you have the right travel insurance it will help you financially and offer help when you need it.  On this page you can read about how you can make sure you’re properly insured before, during and after your work as a volunteer.

Why insure specifically as a volunteer or intern abroad?

  • Volunteer projects, foundations , NGOs & local companies typically don’t have suitable insurance. Even if they do, it might only be valid during your time at work and not during your daytrips.
  • Regular travel insurances often don’t cover volunteering abroad or your work as an intern
  • Volunteerwork & internships often involves doing work for which you are not trained or have little experience doing. This might result in a higher chance for accidents.

Why insure medical expenses abroad with an emigration or expat insurance?

  • Being well insured while living or working abroad is important. Sometimes the new country of residence has a good national health care system, but this is certainly not always the case. As an alternative to the national health insurance, an international (expat) insurance is a frequently used replacement, with a number of advantages: international coverage, reimbursements and conditions, often according to high standards, worldwide coverage and flexibility. A number of good and affordable options are listed below.

Hoe plan je een wereldreis?

Hoe plan je een wereldreis?

wereldreis route

Om je ideale wereldreis te kunnen plannen, check je onderstaande factoren. Afhankelijk van bijvoorbeeld je budget - regio wensen - beschikbare tijd - bucketlist activiteiten zal een factor het meeste knellen. Door beperkingen te benoemen, voorkom je veel uizoekwerk in de wondere wereld van het reizen rond de wereld.

  • Je zoekt een land of regio uit => hou je landenlijst kritisch naast je wensenlijst voor activiteiten en budget
  • Je checkt het klimaat en de beste reistijd => kijk ook of jouw activiteiten aansluiten bij lokale seizoenen en of je budget aansluit bij bijvoorbeeld het lokale hoogseizoen
  • Je bepaalt welke activiteiten je tijdens je wereldreis absoluut wilt ondernemen => sommige activiteiten zijn land-gebonden - seizoen gebonden of budget gebonden, andere minder.
  • Je gaat op zoek naar vervoer richting je bestemming(en) => welke route past bij je landen wens - budget - reisperiode en bucketlist
  • Je kijkt naar het aanwezige en benodigde budget => welke consessies wil je doen op je reisduur/bestemmingen/activiteiten?

Als je het grote plaatje voor je wereldreis plan in je hoofd hebt kan je door naar de volgende regelstappen. Deze zijn vaak minder bepalend voor je reisplannen maar moet je zeker niet onderschatten.

  • Je regelt je reisdocumenten - sommige landen vergen meer tijd voor het regelen van papieren dan anderen
  • Je checkt de lokale veiligheidssituatie en bereid je voor - met name grensstreken kunnen soms onveiliger zijn dan het land als geheel. Dit kan invloed hebben op je reisroute
  • Je controleert je (reis-)verzekeringen => check JoHo Verzekeringen
  • Je checkt of er vaccinaties of medische voorzorgmaatregelen => begin op tijd met je eerste prikken of accepteer dat je onderweg nog vaccinaties moet regelen

Welke bestemmingen waren in 2018 het populairst onder expats en emigranten?

JoHo Insurances maakte een inventarisatie op basis van informatie- en adviesaanvragen van expats, emigranten, gepensioneerden, digital nomads, volunteers en ieder ander die langdurig naar het buitenland gaat. Hun inventarisatie geeft een interessant beeld van waar de Nederlanders zijn, of naar toe gaan.

Top-10 Landen

  1. USA
  2. Spanje
  3. Curaçao
  4. Thailand
  5. Indonesië
  6. Duitsland
  7. Australië
  8. Frankrijk
  9. Verenigd Koninkrijk
  10. China

USA - Verenigde Staten van Amerika

De USA op 1 komt deels door de omvang van het land, het aantal inwoners, het belang van de handel en de interessante arbeidsmarkt. De belangrijkste redenen om naar de USA te gaan zijn:

  • Expat, detachering vanuit NL
  • Lokaal in dienst treden
  • Onderneming opzetten
  • Amerikaanse levenspartner

Spanje

Spanje is om diverse redenen populair: werk, pensioen, vakantie, ondernemen. Mooi weer, dichtbij, populaire steden, en EU verdragen maken vertrek naar Spanje laagdrempelig voor gepensioneerden.

Curaçao

Qua aantal versus oppervlakte + inwoneraantal is Curaçao de nr 1. Als we de Antillen bij elkaar op zouden tellen, dan zijn de Antillen zelfs de populairste bestemming. Belangrijke redenen hiervoor zijn natuurlijk de band met Nederland en het klimaat. Wie gaan er met name naar de Antillen?

  • Gepensioneerden
  • Overheidsmedewerkers
  • Vakantiewerk en tijdelijk werk
  • Stagiaires

Thailand

Populair onder met name:

  • Gepensioneerden: Klimaat, het leven en het prijspeil zijn trekkers. Een goede en betaalbare zorgverzekering is echter een pijnpunt voor de gepensioneerden.
  • Digital Nomads: niet alleen in Thailand maar in de hele regio (dus niet alleen Thailand). Klimaat en leefstijl spelen hierin een belangrijke rol. 
  • Reizigers.

Indonesië

Indonesië is zeer gevarieerd wat betreft doel van de bestemming. Veel ondernemers, Digital Nomads, emigratie en remigratie, pensioen en met de partner mee. Veel langdurige reizigers ook.

Duitsland

Wonen en werken. Dichtbij, goede voorzieningen op verschillende gebieden, handel, welvaart, goedkopere woningen.

Australië

Een combinatie van avontuur, omgeving, goede voorzieningen, de taal en arbeidsmarkt mogelijkheden maken dat Australië al jarenlang in de top 10 vertoefd. Van backpackers, work & travel, expats, emigranten, gepensioneerden.

Frankrijk

De “Joie de vivre” lijkt nog steeds de belangrijkste reden voor vertrek naar Frankrijk. Wonen en leven. Ondernemen of werk zoeken. Pensioen, en ook vaker al vòòr de AOW-gerechtigde leeftijd (voordat EU regelingen in werking treden). 

Werk (expats) is de voornaamste reden voor wonen in het VK. De Brexit heeft het afgelopen jaar nog niet veel invloed gehad op de populariteit. Hoe populair het VK blijft na de Brexit, zal mede afhankelijk van de uitkomst van de Brexit. Denk aan (on)mogelijkheden wat betreft werk. En het eventueel wegvallen van EU regelingen en verdragen.

Verenigd Koninkrijk

Werk (expats) is de voornaamste reden voor wonen in het VK. De Brexit heeft het afgelopen jaar nog niet veel invloed gehad op de populariteit. Hoe populair het VK blijft na de Brexit, zal mede afhankelijk van de uitkomst van de Brexit. Denk aan (on)mogelijkheden wat betreft werk. En het eventueel wegvallen van EU regelingen en verdragen.

China

China is de afgelopen jaren erg populair geworden in verband met de handel en de arbeidsmarkt. De groeiende economie en de omvang van het land zorgen ervoor dat China de top 10 heeft gehaald. Werk is de voornaamste reden van vertrekken naar en wonen in China.

Populairste landen voor expats en bestemmingen om in het buitenland te werken

  • USA
  • Duitsland
  • Australië
  • Verenigd Koninkrijk
  • China
  • Singapore
  • Verenigde Arabische Emiraten / Dubai

Populairste landen voor vertrek na pensioen

  • Spanje
  • Curaçao
  • Thailand
  • Indonesië
  • Frankrijk
  • Portugal
  • Filipijnen

Exotische bestemmingen

Het zijn geen grote aantallen, maar Nederlanders strijken in toenemende mate neer op de verschillende exotische pareltjes van deze wereldbol, zoals:

  • Malediven
  • Palau
  • Vanuatu
  • Cook Eilanden
  • Frans Polynesië

En natuurlijk ook op heel veel andere mooie bestemmingen.

Deel je ervaringen

  • Naar welke bestemming ben jij vertrokken, en waarom?
  • Wat zijn (of waren) voor jou push- en pullfactoren om je er te vestigen?
  • Welke voor- en nadelen zie je wat betreft wonen (en werken) op jouw bestemming?

Ha Jord, super leuk al je verhalen over het backpacken door de Caribbean! Mooie foto's erbij ook. Heb al bijna een ticket geboekt :-) Heb je ook nog tips over hoe het is om rond te reizen op de eilanden (scooter huren/liften etc)?
