Caribbean Tours is very committed to all stray animals that often have to live in harsh conditions on the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. We care deeply about their fate and would like to do something to prevent this animal suffering. For this reason, we have selected a charity on every island where we operate. We have selected a foundation on each island that is committed to preventing animal suffering among dogs and/or cats. If you book a tour with Caribbean Tours, you will be asked during checkout whether you want to make a small contribution. A contribution with which the Kitten Rescue Curacao Foundation on Curacao can continue to work to prevent animal suffering among the kittens and cats.
