If you are planning a Trip to Curacao from Canada, we want to remind you to book your cheap flights and accommodation early for the best rates. Booking tours on the ground after you arrive in Curacao is often cheaper than booking online. But there are exceptions, so if you spy a bargain online, do book it. Plus, with those costs checked off, you will know how much to budget for meals, transportation, shopping, entertainment and other expenses.
Finally, ensure you have locked in your travel insurance – it’s essential!
If you are booking tours after arriving in Curacao, choose ones recommended by your hotel or resort staff and with shining online reviews. Avoid those dirt cheap deals that seem too good to be true, especially if you are being pressured into booking on the spot.
Book a local tour guide for a few days to see parts of the island you might not find by yourself. As well as supporting the local community, you will learn about Barbados’s history, culture and lifestyle from a local.
Be careful if you are on an adventure off the beaten track, especially in the evenings. If you are a solo traveler, it can be a good idea to connect with other solo travelers for some excursions or when checking out the nightlife. Make sure you have credit on your fully-charged phone and try to travel with someone else.
When using ATM machines, nobody is watching you input your PIN and, if in doubt, walk away. Rely on your instincts because often, they are spot on. Avoid wearing expensive-looking clothing, jewelry, or carrying luxury accessories. Don’t carry lots of cash and use digital payment methods when possible.
