The Experience

Ever wondered what Curaçao smells like when the wind hits your face at 40km/h? That’s how we started—me gripping the handlebars of a Can-Am ATV just outside Willemstad, engine humming under my hands. Our guide, Luis (he called himself “your unofficial photographer”), handed us chilled bottled water before we rumbled out past pastel houses and into dusty open scrub. I could taste salt in the air and something sweet—maybe those wildflowers or just my nerves.

First stop: Daniel COCO FRIO. I’d never cracked open a coconut before. The vendor grinned as he hacked it open and handed it to me—cold, milky, not what I expected but somehow perfect after the first stretch. We swapped stories about the island while other riders tried to pronounce “Kenepa” right (Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin—probably butchered it). At Grote Knip Beach, I just stood there for a minute watching the blue go on forever. Some folks dove straight in; I sat on the sand feeling tiny against all that color.

Playa Grandi was louder—kids yelling, fishermen hauling nets, and then suddenly turtles everywhere. You slip into the water and they’re right there beside you, slow and calm even with all our splashing. It’s weirdly peaceful underwater, just your own breath and these ancient creatures gliding by. Luis snapped photos so we wouldn’t have to worry about phones or missing anything.

The last bit was Jan Kok—the flamingo flats. Pink birds standing still in shallow pools while the sky got heavy with late sun. A couple of us tried to sneak closer for photos but honestly, watching them from a distance felt better—like we were guests in their world for a second. On the way back, dust in my hair and sand stuck to my legs, I kept thinking how different Curaçao looks up close like this. Still can’t get that coconut taste out of my head.
