    Catamaran tour with snorkeling and fins available for everyone, as well as floats. The stop at the WWII shipwreck was very interesting, but we enjoyed the second stop much more, with its abundance of fish and marine life, not to mention the beautiful color of the sea. The boat service was excellent, helpful, and polite.

A Glimpse into the Past

The town was established in the early 19th century and soon became an important trading post, thanks to its strategic location. Its name, meaning "Orange City," pays tribute to the Dutch Royal House.
