Overview

This is not your ordinary Curaçao sightseeing tour. One moment you’re riding through the island by road, and the next your bus drives straight into Spanish Water Bay.

Splashy Iguana Tours is a fun 2-hour amphibious experience where you stay seated as the bus goes from land to water. No switching boats, no ordinary transfer, just one surprising road-to-sea adventure.

The tour starts at Waaigat and takes you through well-known areas like Pietermaai, Saliña, and Caracasbaaiweg. Along the way, enjoy island stories, music, and a relaxed Caribbean atmosphere.

Then comes the highlight: the big splash into Spanish Water Bay. Have your camera ready as the tour continues on the water with views of waterfront villas, yachts, and the beautiful bay.

Perfect for couples, families, cruise guests, friend groups, and travelers who want something different in Curaçao without doing anything extreme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Bus That Drives Into the Ocean Unique Curaçao Amphibious Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
