About Netherlands Antilles
The Netherlands Antilles consist of two groups of islands in the Caribbean Sea: the "Leeward Islands" Bonaire and Curacao, and the "Windward Islands" Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten. They offer excellent possibilities for surfing and fishing trips. Curaçao is renowned for its coral reefs which make it an excellent spot for scuba diving.
Willemstad on Curacao is unmistakeably Dutch with its peculiar architecture and beautiful harbour entry.
