You\u2019ve got to have been there to Believe it.
\nCura\u00e7ao, unknow\u00a0at first, then unforgettable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A visit to Cura\u00e7ao always seems too short.
\nIf you were to spend even just a week on the island, you\u2019d be running the risk of getting Cura\u00e7ao under your skin.
\nThere is something about this island. Before you know it, you are hooked on it for life!
\nHow does this come about? Due to the relaxed atmosphere perhaps? The unique harbor?
\nIt might be Willemstad, the seat of the Cura\u00e7ao government, with the typical Dutch-gabled houses and its interesting alleyways.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A town not to be found anywhere in the Caribbean or perhaps not even in the whole world.
\nOr is it perhaps the pontoon bridge between Punda and Otrobanda and the shopping sprees in these historical surrounding?
\nFor the adventurous souls it may be the countryside with its many plantation houses, coves, picturesque beaches, and St Christoffel Natural Park.
\nOr Might it be the ever flawlessly blue Caribbean sea, with its myriad possibilities for watersports?
\nLets consider the surfing, snorkeling and diving into fairylike under world, which make Cura\u00e7ao one of the world\u2019s best known regions for these sports.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maybe it is the Cura\u00e7aons, a multi-cultural, proud people a bit wary at first, but ever willing to turn your stay into a veritable feast.
\nEach person undergoes the island in his or her own manner.
\nWhat is similar is the ever smoldering desire to come back to Cura\u00e7ao.<\/p>\n

Cura\u00e7ao stretches 61 kilometers from tip to tip. The island\u2019s best beaches, restaurants, nature parks, and cultural attractions are spread across the entire coastline. Public transport is limited and does not reach most beaches. Taxis are expensive, especially for day trips. That is why most visitors rent a car to explore the island.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With a rental car from SmartWheels, you can visit Willemstad\u2019s UNESCO World Heritage streets in the morning, drive 30 minutes to Porto Mari for world-class snorkeling, and end the day at a seaside restaurant in Westpunt watching the sunset. All on your own schedule, with no tour guide rushing you along.<\/p>\n
