Top Curacao Art & Culture Classes

This is the only calabash painting experience in Curaçao led by a local artist and cultural entrepreneur. At La Hacienda Olivia Plantation you will learn about the centuries old history of calabash on the island, take a picture next to the tree, hold a calabash in your hands, taste local drink & snack, choose your piece: earrings, bracelet, pendant or keychain and paint it yourself with personal guidance. This experience is perfect for curious travelers, culture lovers, families with children aged 8 and up, and anyone who wants to take home something they made with their own hands rather than a mass produced souvenir.

What makes our activity special is the opportunity to slow down and experience Curaçao differently. While many visitors admire the view through their camera lens, you'll have the chance to pause, be inspired by its vibrant colors, and create a handmade keepsake that's far more personal than a postcard or photo.

• Unique blend of local cuisine and hands-on creativity • Enjoy local food while painting a Handelskade sculpture, inspired by Curaçao’s UNESCO World Heritage site • No prior artistic skills required, making it stress-free and accessible to everyone • Paint a personal keepsake that reflects your time in Curaçao instead of buying a generic souvenir • A creative pause during your vacation to slow down, relax, and connect in a welcoming setting

Discover the tastes and textures of Curaçao cuisine during a private cooking class in the capital of Willemstad.

Create your own Curaçao souvenir while enjoying local ice cream in a colorful, historic fort setting.
