Hato Caves: limestone caves, history and practical tips

Hato Caves, close to the airport, reveal a completely different side of Curaçao. The limestone caves formed long ago when this part of the island was below sea level. A guided visit takes you past stalactites and stalagmites while explaining the indigenous history and the people who later used the caves as shelter.

Zo plan je je bezoek

Treat this as a focused stop of a few hours, perhaps on a day you also spend time in Willemstad. Check the current tour schedule before leaving; visits inside the caves are guided.

Handig om te weten

For families, the caves can be a welcome change after several beach days: compact, educational and very different from another bay or beach club.
