Island tour or jeep safari: what is the difference?
An island tour drives on paved roads past the well-known sights, in a comfortable car or van. A jeep safari also goes off-road, along dirt tracks to rugged coast, caves and remote bays. It is dustier and bumpier, but you reach places where a rental car is not allowed or cannot go.
If you have back problems or limited mobility, choose a tour on paved roads; see Curaçao for older and less mobile travelers.
