Hato Caves in Curacao?

[baylee_riddle]

Hi all, has anyone done their own excursion to the Hato Caves in Curacao? We don't want to do the excursion with Carnival because they only offer caves + beach combos (we do not plan on going to the beach in Curacao). We want to explore Willemstad after the caves (we will be in Curacao for 9 hours). If you have done the Hato Caves, can you tell me how much the taxi was to the caves from the Mega Cruise Pier? Any info would help! Thank you!

Cabs to the other side of the island are over $100, I think the caves are about halfway, or a little less than half.

Don't know about taxi but did the caves three weeks ago. Very hot in cave, not like caves at home. it is called an above ground cave. They had fans all thru the cave. It was nice but nothing special. The cave was about 45 min. The time at the beach was a little over an hour. Beach has a sea wall out about 3o yards. You could swim out to it and stand on the rocks. No waves at all.

After exploring Willemstad, we ate on the ship and then went up to Fort Nassau for the view.

Much better that the caves.
