Since the end of 2019 I decided to stop offering guided hikes. The following organizations are offering guided hikes. With each of these organizations I have positive experiences myself.
By registering you confirm that you have a sufficient condition to perform the chosen hike successfully. You agree that participating in such hike is at your own risk.
ATTENTION hotmail-, live-, outlook-mail users: check also your spam/junk-folder for the confirmation mail.
Please bring good walking shoes, sufficient water and, if you like, a snack for the hike and some protection against the sun.
A scheduled hike will be performed if at least 2 people have registered for the planned hike. If 24 hours before the start of the hike less than 2 people have registered the guide may cancel the hike.
The hike is free of charge.
ATTENTION: after registration you should get a copy of the registration information in your inbox (or spam/junk-folder); if you don't get that mail something went wrong during registration. Contact me at curacaohiking at gmail.com
Your registration for the selected hike is complete. You will receive an email with the data that you have entered for this hike. Please check your spam- of junk-folder in case you dont find it in your inbox.
You will get one more mail; an email with additional information for the hike 1 or 2 days before the hike will take place.
In any case, if you don't get the confirmation email and/or the mail with additional information, please contact me either by phone (+599 9 5207309), SMS (+599 9 5207309) or on the below mentioned email address
To guarantee the delivery of the confirmation mail and the mail with additional information please add the following email addresses to your contacts or safe senders list:
This is especially important for hotmail-, live-, outlook- and yahoo-mail users because these companies tend to block a lot of legitimate email as spam
Us is in fact just me. I am a retired IT-manager. Retired early at an age that I didn't want to sit still. So I decided a few years ago to make a career out of the things that I like to do most. And that is diving and hiking, both in combination with photography.
I live in Curaçao since 1994. Learned diving in 1991 in Aruba during a vacation and kept on diving since then, first in The Netherlands and after I moved to Curaçao I went diving at most of the dive sites in Curaçao. Based on the knowledge of the many dive sites in Curaçao I became the co-author of the Curaçao Diving Guide, which is now in its second edition. The Curaçao Diving Guide can be purchased at Scuba Store & More in Curaçao.
In 2007 I decided to become a dive instructor and in 2008 I became certified by PDIC to work as a dive instructor.
In 2010 I joined the Working group Archaeology of Curaçao. On a weekly basis we undertake hikes in the nature of Curaçao in search for the history of Curaçao in the form of ruins of fortifications, former habitation (Indian sites, small villages, graves) and remains of the large country houses. Or we just want to look for rare plants while enjoying the nature of Curaçao. Reports are published on another web site:
End of 2013 I decided to stop working at the dive shop. To share my knowledge of the nature and history of Curaçao I started offering guided hikes to locals and tourists.
At the end of 2019 I decided to stop offering guided hikes so that I could spend more time on other hobbies. I continue with hiking on my own, with friends or with other hiking organizations.
The focus of this website changes from offering guided hikes tot offering sufficient information so that everyone who is interested in hiking is able to do that alone or with friends.
