The Queen Emma Bridge Is Back. So Is Our Punda/Otrobanda Tour.

After weeks of undergoing a mayor upgrade, the Swinging Old Lady is back in the water and connecting Punda and Otrobanda like she's done since 1888. And that means our Willemstad Historic & Arts Tour, the one that rides both sides of the bay, is back on the schedule as of today, Tuesday, September 29.



Good news, Willemstad. The Queen Emma Bridge is open again.

After weeks of undergoing a mayor updgrade, the Swinging Old Lady is back in the water and connecting Punda and Otrobanda like she's done since 1888. And that means our Willemstad Historic & Arts Tour, the one that rides both sides of the bay, is back on the schedule as of today, Tuesday, September 29.

What's Back to Normal

Willemstad Historic & Arts (Punda + Otrobanda combo) Running again. This is the full loop. The colorful Handelskade waterfront, the old merchant streets of Punda, then across the bridge into Otrobanda's alleys, murals and hidden courtyards. 3.5 hours, both neighborhoods, one ride.

Punda Historic & Arts, Snuba, SeaTrek and Aqua Jet Back to their regular meeting points. No more starting from Waaigat.

Willemstad Museum Tour No more split. It's one tour again, covering both sides of town.

Cruise Guests, This Makes Your Day Easier

If you're coming off a ship at the Otrobanda terminal, your tours start infront of the terminal exit to the left.

Thanks for Hanging In

To everyone who rolled with the Waaigat starts and the split tours over the last few weeks, thank you. You made it easy.

Spots are open now. Book the Willemstad Historic & Arts Tour or message us if you've got questions.

See you on the bridge.
