About the activity

Slow down and dive into the everyday rhythm of Curaçao with “Leisure with a Local.” This unique experience connects you with locals through their favorite pastimes—whether you want to kick a ball, learn a new game, or just hang out and soak up the vibes.

Play soccer in the street with neighborhood kids, challenge seasoned domino players at a snack bar, watch young baseball talents chase their dreams, or try your hand at Bolas Criollas or chess in the island’s community spaces. You’ll gain access to places and moments that most tourists never see—all guided by a friendly local host who ensures you feel safe, welcomed, and engaged.

Don’t want to go alone? Want to explore a hidden local snack bar but feel awkward as an outsider? That’s where we step in. We provide companionship and context so you can feel like you truly belong.

Choose from (or mix and match):

⚽ Soccer Matches: Join in local pickup games or watch a neighborhood match from the sidelines.

🎲 Domino Culture: Learn to play or spectate while enjoying the lively conversations and cold drinks at the local “snèk.”

⚾ Baseball Games: See the next generation of MLB hopefuls at neighborhood diamonds.

🔵 Bolas Criollas: Try this traditional Venezuelan-Curaçaoan game that’s all about skill and community fun.

♟️ Chess Meetups: Join chess players young and old in quiet strategic battles under shady trees or in community halls.

TheTrip Curaçao insights

You’ll see Curaçao’s heart beating through its people. Sports like baseball and soccer reflect the island’s ambitions and dreams, while games like dominoes and Bolas Criollas bring generations together. It’s not just about winning—it’s about community. We go where the action is real and the experiences are unscripted. No staged tourist shows here—just everyday life, shared with you.

Know before you go

• Each experience is tailored to what’s happening locally—events may shift based on time and location
• Some activities (like domino games) may involve smoking areas or loud environments
• If you’re a player, feel free to bring your own equipment (cleats, gloves, etc.)
• We match you with a friendly local to enhance your experience—no language barriers, no awkwardness
