Colorful waterfront buildings under blue sky in Curaçao. Text: "Traveling to Curaçao on a Budget: Smart Tips & Free Attractions."

When you think of Curaçao, images of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, and colorful Dutch colonial buildings probably come to mind. While these are undoubtedly part of the island’s charm, Curaçao offers so much more beneath the surface. To truly experience the island, you need to explore it like a local—immersing yourself in its vibrant culture, authentic traditions, and community-driven activities. That’s exactly what you’ll find when booking with TheTrip Curacao, a platform owned by locals who are passionate about showing you the heart of their island.


Explore Activities with a Local Touch

The best way to begin your journey is to browse through the wide range of Activities offered. From guided walking tours in Willemstad to immersive food experiences and cultural festivals, these are not just sightseeing trips—they’re opportunities to connect with Curaçao’s people. For example, the Kuminda di Kas Experience lets you explore traditional dishes made from locally grown ingredients.


It’s more than just a meal—it’s a storytelling session about Curaçao’s farming traditions and family recipes passed down through generations. This is the type of activity that turns a trip into an unforgettable memory.


Things to Do: Beyond the Beaches


Tourists walk past a stone entrance with "KUEBAdiHATO BON-BINI." Yellow building with red roof nearby. Green trees in the background.

Most visitors start their search for Things to Do with beaches like Mambo Beach Boulevard or Playa Porto Mari. While they are must-see spots, Curaçao’s cultural side is equally exciting. Take part in the Local Carnival Experience, where you’ll feel the heartbeat of the island in its music, costumes, and parades. Carnival is more than a festival—it’s the island’s way of preserving tradition while celebrating joy and togetherness.


If you’re a history lover, the Green Escape Tour that includes Hato Cave is another highlight. With stalactites, stalagmites, and petroglyphs left by the Arawak people, you’ll step back into Curaçao’s ancient past guided by locals who know these caves like the back of their hand



Local Experience: Living Curaçao’s Culture

One standout is “Party Like a Local,” where you’ll join residents in nightlife hotspots, street gatherings, and live music events. Instead of being a tourist watching from the sidelines, you’ll be part of the celebration.


Another remarkable option is “Leisure with a Local,” a customizable tour that adapts to your interests. Whether you want to sample local street food, shop at hidden markets, or visit art galleries, your host will make sure you experience Curaçao your way.
