      Couldn’t agree more. They did such a nice job of describing the pros and cons of different options, and there was no annoyingly loud transitions like there tends to be in so many of the other videos I’ve found 😂

I am planning to go back to see my rock, family and friends one day and I am boiling with expectation. You've mentioned the Captain, my buddy Juni.
    Next time you visit Curaçao you should go to BOASE, really expensive and luxurious; where I grew up. Scuba or Snorkeling is very nice there. and do not forget swimming with Dolphins at SeaQuarium at one of the only places recognised as a heaven for Dolphins; they are not captive but they keep coming back. Hopefully just like you will. Also a MUST is Klein Curaçao.🌞

    Man i remember staying at captain goodlofes place almost 20 yrs ago. It did not look like how it does on this video. I was way sampler... He was also less commercial, way more laid back. But this guy is a legend.
    I remember we went lobster hunting at night, 6 guys and only 1 torch. We jump in, and we jumped into a pool of seamosquitos. Picture this, your under water, almost pitch black and your stung like crazy... That Madness!?? Yet... The most pain was not that, on the way back, his engine broke. We meer to swim back the boat by hand in the dark... But it was fun, we stayed for the night, if I recall property. No payments... Daily those days are gone. Sort of i can understand, but sort of being local, i don't know why I pay Tourist prices

    We loved this informative video. We are leaving for Curacao in just a few days for a month and definitely want to experience the culture by staying in an Air B & B. After that, we will be going to Aruba. How does one fly in that transport plane to Aruba? We will have luggage with us as well. Excellent ideas and wonderful sites although not sure I will be able to eat some of the authentic foods. Jim and Jenea'

    • @MikeAndFriends
      @MikeAndFriends  ปีที่แล้ว

      Very excited for you! :)
      The small plane has a luggage hold too but you take your luggage all the way to the plane and its loaded there and then by the crew. Small bags go inside with you. The flight is scenic (sit on the right to watch Curaçao from the air). Most of the authentic food was amazing (rice, beans, meats, fish). We chose to try the okra soup for kicks.
      Enjoy your travels 😊 and thanks for watching.

    Hello, I really liked the way you narrate the journey through the island. I think it is a very nice place, I plan to go to Curacao in December and I have a Mavic Air 2. I would like to know what requirements are requested on the island to carry the drone and be able to fly legally. Cheers

    • @MikeAndFriends
      @MikeAndFriends  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks. This means a lot to us!
      Here's a good guide on what to do uavcoach.com/drone-laws-in-curacao/
      1. you need to register your drone for flying
      2. you need to register the importation of your drone
      So that's 2 forms.

      Thanks! We use primarily a Sony A6600 with a 10-18mm F4 lens and a K&F variable ND filter. We then colorcorrect, sharpen and stabilise. We also use a Zhiyun Weebill S gimbal but in this specific video it was used sporadically.
      Some shots were taken with an Asus Zenfone 7 Pro smartphone and a DJI Osmo Action. The drone we use is a 4 year old DJI Mavic Pro (1).
