SPF: 70+ Wow factor: extreme Limestone cliffs, heavily fossilized with large marine structures, have been beaten by the ocean to form inlets (bokas) and caves. We toured for three hours and saw all four of the bokas. Each is unique and amazing in its own right. If you don't have time to explore them all, don't miss Boka Pistol or... More

half an hour visit is enough, but if you go to Christoffelpark or Westpunt, it is easy to make a stop here and walk arount to feel the power of nature. Disappointing (and typical) to see all the waste that had flown to the shore and has not been cleaned.

The trails were well maintained and the view is awesome. This is on the west side of the island and very remote. I recommend going close to sunset and then grabbing dinner at Landhuis Misje (closed on Sundays).

I loved the scenery, the water crashing against the shore is beautiful - the waves are so powerful and the explosions of water at Boka Pistol were so worth the trip! The natural bridge is beautiful and getting to go down into the cave was pretty awesome. There are little lizards running around everywhere and we were excited to get... More

Had a great time on this tour. It was excellent to see the landscape of Curacao. We traveled with Actief Tours and our guide was Zander. He was most entertaining and made the trip so much fun!

We emailed the park in advance and hired a wonderful guide, Cyrell, who took my teenage daughters, husband and me around the caves and different spots in this amazing national park. Only $20 per person and we learned a lot. We spent about 2.5 hours total, but there's a little cafe if you want to stay longer.

Strange landscape, crashing surf, interesting caves you can go into; very interesting and worth the 10-minute jaunt from Lodge Kura Hulanda.

We hit all of it, even though the road to the pistol was under construction. Wind was high and waves were out of this world. A great place to see, worth the small admission.

I'd visit this area as part of an island tour. It was a nice surprise getting to go down inside the rock to the cove below ground. Felt like a pirate hideout.
