Excursion Seaworld explorer tour at Willemstad
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Discover the fascinating underwater world of Curaçao as you glide along in the comfort of your air-conditioned semi-sub.
Willemstad, Seaworld Explorer
From the dock in Willemstad, it's only a short drive by taxi to the Seaworld Explorer, a state-of-the-art semi-submarine. Developed in Australia for use on the Great Barrier Reef, this vessel does not actually submerge. You'll descend into the hull of this cruising underwater observatory, and sit in air-conditioned comfort, 5 feet below the surface of the water.
South Coast of Curaço, Coral Reefs, Sea wall
As you explore the sea life through large glass windows, see dozens of colorful tropical fish such as Yellowtail Snapper, Sergeant Majors, Parrotfish and Queen Angelfish. Your underwater adventure also includes a narrated tour of the coral reefs along the south side of the island, which took thousands of years to grow. Look out for the diver, who will feed some of the fish, alongside the Seaworld Explorer. Just offshore you'll also observe the ocean wall, which drops sharply to depths of several hundred feet.
This tour concludes back at the pier.
