Overview

Self-guided audio tour · $8.99

Fort Zoutman is missing its fourth wall. This walk tells you why, and who was made to build the other three, then follows Oranjestad past the duty-free malls into the town the gold rush and the trade wind built. Seventy minutes, self-guided, never far from the pier.

About
