See & Sea Island Tour

Leaving the dock, you’ll make the scenic trip to the Seaworld Explorer. The vessel does not submerge; you descend into the hull of this cruising underwater observatory and sit in air-conditioned comfort five feet below the surface of the water, exploring sea life through large, clear glass windows. As you embark on a narrated tour of the coral reefs along the south side of the island, you’ll notice a wall dropping sharply to depths of several hundred feet that you can clearly observe from your underwater viewpoint. You’ll see dozens of tropical fish such as yellowtail snapper, sergeant majors, parrotfish and queen angelfish, as well as delicate colonies of coral that were thousands of years in the making. Then watch in awe as hungry fish surround a diver, hand-fed right in front of your window. Once back on land, you head over the Queen Juliana Bridge, 200 feet above Willemstad, offering you a magnificent view of the capital, and the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge, which provides a pedestrian link between Otrobanda and Punda. You’ll continue past the Amsted Brewery and on to Chobolobo, an old Colonial plantation house where a short stop is made at the world-famous Curacao Liqueur Distillery. From here you’ll head back to Punda where your guide will point out the major landmarks. You then have a choice of staying in town on your own or returning to your ship. Note: Participants must be able to safely navigate steps in and out of the semi-submarine.
