What to do in Oranjestad in one day

Oranjestad is as much about nature as adventure: 14 of its 114 plans are snorkelling and diving, and 13 are walking tours. The problem is not a lack of things to see, it is choosing with the time you have: this guide sorts them by the hours you have left, the weather and who you travel with.

If it rains

Indoors or barely affected by bad weather. 4 of the ones below are fully indoors; the rest hold up in a shower.

With kids

They work with children without dragging on. Below it is mostly snorkelling and diving, then nightlife.

Without much walking

Little walking: reduced mobility, or simply a slower day. Below it is mostly boat trips, then snorkelling and diving.
