A trip to Paradise... Klein Curacao

Far away from the hustle and bustle of Curaçao's Punda and Otrobanda districts lies a remote, coral island with white sand beaches , crystal clear water , a spectacular reef and colorful sea life . The flat, wind-swept island of Klein Curaçao (Dutch for Little Curaçao) is a mecca for divers , snorkelers and sunbathers .

Klein Curaçao lies 15 miles off the southeast point of Curaçao and is just a two-hour boat trip from Spanish Water . The Mermaid , a sturdy sea-going vessel, awaits passengers at the Fishermen's Pier every Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday mornings at 6:45am . Six times a week, the Mermaid takes people out to the island of Klein Curaçao for a perfect day by the sea.

When you climb aboard the Mermaid, you'll be greeted with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Captain Kees and his crew create a great atmosphere that makes you feel welcome on board!

The Mermaid sets sails along the southern coast of Curaçao. From the boat you'll see Fuik, Duivelsklip and Oostpunt, a completely inaccessible region of Curaçao that has been set aside as a wildlife preserve. Sometimes dolphins swim alongside the boat . Then the Mermaid turns southward and heads out into the blue sea, towards Klein Curaçao.

From a distance, you can see Klein Curaçao's landmark lighthouse and a shipwreck that was lodged on the beach many years ago. As the boat approaches the coast, you'll see a few huts, which are used by the local island fishermen. But mostly, you'll see endless beaches of white sand, waiting to be explored by you .

Once the Mermaid has anchored off shore, you'll want to take a swim in the crystal clear turquoise water . Take a stroll and visit the historical lighthouse or collect shells on the beach. Lie out on a beach chair and catch some rays of sun or play beach volleyball on our pricate court!

Exclusive to the Mermaid , Captain Cor and his crew have the only beach house on Klein Curaçao . With a large thatched-roof patio, picnic benches and cool drinks it's a great shady shelter from the heat of the sun. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained . The Mermaid provides all the facilities you need for a nice day on the beach.

A fantastic buffet lunch at the beach house awaits you-chicken, spare ribs, beef burgers, corn, various salads and fruits are prepared to perfection. Beer, wine, juices and soft drinks are provided (alcoholic drinks for a small fee).

For snorkelers and scuba divers , Klein Curaçao has much to offer. Klein Curaçao has beautiful coral formations, a vertical drop-off and a couple of underwater caves. For snorkelers, Mermaid provides masks free of charge so that you can experience our gorgeous underwater world for yourself. For scuba divers, we offer several options on our Scuba Thursdays , when Jackie (our in-house dive guide/instructor ) joins us to Klein Curacao. For certified divers Jackie takes you for a morning dive to the most beautiful reef on Klein Curacao’s northwestern tip by dinghy. The dive costs $99 and includes all the required diving equipment and Jackie’s services. For non-certified divers she offers introductory dives on Thursdays as well for $135 (price includes video footage), these are giving in the afternoon right by the boat in front of the beach house and are open to everybody to give scuba diving a first chance in the beautiful crystal-clear waters of Klein Curacao. For all the details around diving with Mermaid on Klein Curacao please contact About Jackie Fine Diving (click here).

And at 3:20 pm, it's all aboard time as the Mermaid heads back to the mainland. From the shores of Curaçao, people greet the Mermaid's return with warm smiles and friendly waves.

A perfect day!!!

How to Have an Unforgettable Klein Curacao Boat Trip – Travel Guide and Tips

Klein Curacao is a breathtakingly beautiful uninhabited island, located about 15 miles from Curacao. The trip to Klein Curacao takes 1.5 – 2 hours by boat each way, and the entire trip is an amazing experience. That being said, there is definitely some planning that goes along with a Klein Curacao boat trip – and that’s where this travel guide comes in!

A Klein Curacao boat trip is a great addition to any Curacao vacation. The island is so unique and it’s such a fun experience to spend the day relaxing and disconnecting from wifi and cell service.

There are tons of companies that operate boat tours to the island, and once arrived on Klein Curacao there is plenty to do for a full day.

Ready to plan your amazing Klein Curacao boat trip?

Keep reading for everything you need to know and tips for your trip!

Klein Curacao Boat Trip

1: pick your tour company wisely.

There are many tour companies that offer Klein Curacao Boat Trips. However, only two companies have structures on the island.

This is important for many reasons. The first, is with a beach structure you’ll have ample access to shade and bathrooms.

You’ll also be able to enjoy lunch on the beach, instead of having to swim back to your catamaran or boat.

I highly recommend booking your Klein Curacao Boat Trip with Mermaid Boat Trips or Miss Ann Boat Trips . Having a beach structure to relax in, access to fresh water and bathrooms, and tons of shade really made a huge difference. Especially because you’ll be on the island for many hours.

I went with Mermaid Boat Trips and had a wonderful time. Check out my Instagram reel of my day on Klein Curacao!

2: Bring Seasick Medicine

I’m not sure why this isn’t more heavily advertised, but the sea between Curacao and Klein Curacao is rough – and I mean really rough. I don’t normally get sea sick, and I still threw up the entire 1.5 hour trip. About 1/4 of the people on my boat trip also got seasick, and I was told that this is very common headed to Klein Curacao, as you’re going in the opposite direction of the wind and the waves.

Do yourself a favor and take seasick medicine . I literally wanted to throw myself overboard halfway through the trip because I was so sick.

I’m sure you can buy seasick medicine at pharmacies in Curacao, but to be safe, it’s a good idea to bring some with you. Click here and here for two options.

3: Pack Lots of Sunscreen

This goes without saying, but the sun is strong and since you’ll be outside all day, you’ll definitely need good sunscreen.

When choosing a sunscreen, make sure that it’s reef safe! For our favorite sunscreens, check out our post about The 7 Best Sunscreens to Bring on Vacation .

4: Pack a Bag With Necessities

No matter which company you choose for your Klein Curacao boat trip, you’ll definitely want to pack a beach bag with necessities. I recommend the following:

• Beach hat or baseball cap
• Underwater camera if you plan to snorkel
• Beach towel
• Portable charger
• Change of clothes

5: Walk to the Lighthouse and Ship Wreck

When you’re on Klein Curacao be sure to check out the abandoned lighthouse and ship wreck! Wear shoes because the path can be rocky, but it’s totally worth the 10-15 minute walk out to the structures.

The views are beautiful and both the lighthouse and shipwreck are very cool to see.

6: Make Sure Your Phone is Charged

You’re going to want to take lots of pictures while in Klein Curacao, so make sure that your phone is charged! There won’t be anywhere to charge it while on the island, and you’ll be on Klein Curacao for the majority of the day.

If your phone battery dies quickly, a portable charger is great to have!

7: There Is No Cell Reception or WiFi

There is no cell reception or wifi on Klein Curacao, so it’s really a place to unwind and disconnect!

8: Most Tour Companies Provide Lunch

Most tour companies will provide lunch while on Klein Curacao, either in their beach structures or onboard their catamarans or boats. If you’re vegetarian, make sure to check with the tour provider before your trip to make sure they have food options for you.

So there you have it! I hope you found my Klein Curacao boat trip guide and tips to be helpful!

While in Curacao I highly recommend taking a day trip to Klein Curacao, it’s a beautiful little island and you’re sure to have a great time. Just don’t forget your seasick medicine!

This looks like absolute paradise what a gorgeous island. And great tips, especially to know not all tour companies have structures to shade/bathrooms which in that sun would be really important. So nice that you can completely disconnect, that my be the thing that makes me want to go here most of all

This looks like such an awesome boat trip! I love that the island is not inhabited and you are so disconnected (in a good way!). Great tips, I look forward to doing this some day!

Good tip on the roughness of the seas — certainly I wouldn’t have expected that, so good to plan ahead for anyone prone to mal de mer!

This place looks like a paradise! The color of the water is amazing 🙂 How much time is needed minimum to explore the whole island?

Hi Magdalena! Klein Curaçao really did feel like paradise. Most of the boat trips are a full day. They leave the dock in Curaçao between 6am-8m, and return around 3pm or 4pm. That gives you between 4-6 hours on the island (depending on your tour group.) With 4 hours you’ll be able to explore the island, see the lighthouse, the shipwreck, go snorkeling and have some time left over for lunch and relaxing!

Klein Curacao is breathtaking! Great resource on how to travel to this beautiful island by boat.

Klein Curacao looks like my kind of place to visit! Thanks for the great tips and definitely adding this locations to my bucket list

I love your photos on this post. It looks like you really are in another world. Great tips about shopping around for a tour company. I have had some dreadful experiences when just booking with the first company I see! I’ve also been stuck with vegetarian options so this is a great extra tip!! As often when you go to remote places like this there isn’t much to buy then you get there.

It’s great that there isn’t any signal there so you can really chill out for a bit. I love the look of the walk up to the lighthouse.

It looks like paradise! Great tips, I love that it’s uninhabited and you can disconnect while you’re there. Your photos are also beautiful, love the lighthouse.

You two always go to the best places! I enjoy seeing what you’re up to. Thanks for the Curacao share.

I grew up in the Caribbean and this was a totally new place I’ve never heard of. That lighthouse looks so cool! Klein Curacao sounds like a great day trip.

Wow this looks AMAZING!! And I love your bathing suit with the flowers on it! This sounds like an awesome day trip, thanks for sharing!

Yes, yes, and yes to the seasick medication and sunscreen! I get motion sickness often, though it is the worst on boats. Non-drowsy dramamine is then my best friend.

Klein Curacao is gorgeous! I haven’t had it on my radar until I came across your beautiful photos and article! Thanks for sharing, and enjoyed the helpful tips.

Wow! This place looks like heaven! Great tips about the sunscreen, water, suncreen and meds. That image of the lighthouse looks awesome! Adding this to my bucket list. 🙂

Looks like paradise. I would love to visit it. I take portable chargers with me on every trip, as I always seem to near deplete my battery with all the pics that I take. Great suggestions regarding which tour companies to book. Thanks.

Such a picturesque and beautiful place to visit! Looks amazing and love the guide.

It looks lovely there. I had empathy for you as I read about your sickness on the boat. What a terrible feeling!

Oh wow, the color of the water is insane 😍😍 Nevertheless my favorite spot is the lighthouse! Such a beautiful photo! I couldn’t imagine there is no reception for the phone! Thanks for the tips!

Great advice on the seasickness bands and sunscreen! And I would love to explore a shipwreck!

Curacao is a Caribbean island not far from my home. Beautifully written blog post! I appreciate you sharing this with us.

Wow Curacao looks like a dream! You got some amazing photos, looks like you had the best time!

Thank you! I had never heard of this place until I saw your post. It looks like an awesome place to visit and your tips are very helpful. 🙂

I’d love to get to go here sometime! Definitely looks like the perfect place to get to unplug/unwind. Appreciate the tips on medicine for motion sickness + tour companies with beach structures too!

This seems like such a fun boat trip, thanks for the tips!

Wow! Curacao looks absolutely stunning! I love old lighthouses and shipwrecks! I live in an area with a few. Thanks for the tips. Would love to go on a boat trip in Curacao one day!

Is there a budget alternative to the recommended excursions? 100+ euros for 4-5 net beach hours is too much (lunch and sail “happy” times doesn’t really excite me). That doesn’t mean i am not gonna do it, but under those conditions i could only do it once. Looking for something like a water taxi service, a local boatman to hire… Any suggestions?

Hi Kostas, thank you for your comment! Unfortunately, every tour/boat service I found (after doing a lot of research on different companies) was around $100. Due to the distance of Klein Curaçao from Curaçao, and the fact that the water can be rough, not every size boat tends to make the trip. Because of this, it’s generally just tour services, and not locals with boats, that offer these excursions. That’s not to say you won’t find a local to take you, but I did not see any locals offering these types of trips while I was in Curaçao. Additionally, there are no public bathrooms on Klein Curaçao, so I would advise to go with a company that at least has a bathroom on board the boat/some shade for the rides – that’s just my preference though. I’m linking Klein Curaçaos tourism website here , and they also show that the cheapest tour is around $85-$95. Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Amazed by your instant and thorough reply! Appreciate it a lot! Looks like i am proceeding through regular channels for this day trip, too, gonna save on accommodation type to balance budget. Lastly, gonna need wheels for the west northern beaches, could you recommend a reliable operator (a gps service might prove helpful, also..). Thank you so much, wishing you Merry Christmas from Greece!

Of course! So glad you found it helpful. For a car, I recommend picking one up at the airport so you can save on a taxi fare into town/to your hotel. A quick search is showing me daily rates as low as $43 in January – and I paid around $35ish per day in March. I’ve had good experiences with Hertz and Sixt, but there are a bunch of rental agencies to choose from. Merry Christmas to you too!

7 Best Trip to Klein Curacao Tours (2023)

July 23, 2023.

Table of Contents

If you’re headed to Curacao for vacation, you should absolutely consider adding in a boat trip to Klein Curacao, an uninhabited island that sits about 15 miles south.  It’s hands down one of the best tours and most unique days you can spend in Curacao.

(Pop over here first if you need help pronouncing Curacao , then come right back.)  

Some of my favorite Caribbean days have been spent exploring remote beaches and small islands . If I’ve learned one thing in my extensive Caribbean travels, it’s that the feeling of being shipwrecked in paradise – truly away from it all – can really help you feel grounded. That’s exactly how you’ll feel on Klein Curacao, which means little Curacao.

Take this adventure, and you’ll spend the day on a long stretch of deserted beach that rivals the best beaches in all the Caribbean.  But a Klein Curacao trip takes a little planning, and mental preparation, so we’re here to make it easy for you.

There are several companies that offer Klein Curacao tour packages – but not all are created equal.  The boats are different, with varying inclusions and travel times, and so are the facilities once you arrive on the island. So how to choose?  

This article rounds up the top Klein curacao boat trip providers to help you pick the right one. It also gives you an overview of what to pack and what to expect during your Klein Curacao trip.

My Top 3 Picks - Boat Trips to Klein Curacao

• 60 minute ride
• Comfortable boat 
• Beach house on Klein Curacao

• Small Yacht 
• Beach House 

• 90 minute ride 
• Beach house with tower 

How to get to Klein Curacao

By boat!  Curacao has some incredible attractions , but this is one of the most unique for sure. You’ll take a full day charter over to the deserted island.  You have a few choices, all highlighted below: motor yachts, small catamaran, large catamaran, or small powerboat.  

How to choose your boat tour provider for your Curacao day trip?  A few things vary from boat to boat.

First, the travel time takes anywhere from 40 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the boat you choose.  

Second, the departure times vary too, ranging from 6:45am to 9am.

And third, so do the facilities! Only a few tour operators have a beach house on the island, for example. Some offer open bar, others do not.

We encourage you to browse your options, see what’s available, and pick your priorities!

Klein Curacao Boat Trip Overview: What To Expect

If you’re heading to Klein Curacao, get ready to start early in the morning.  Your full day adventure will start with a boat trip that lasts about 1 to 2 hours each way depending on your boat (unless you take a fast powerboat, which is a 40 minute option). Given the trip length, selecting a comfortable boat is critical.

A very important thing to remember: The seas can get a bit rough, especially on the way there, so make sure to take some seasickness medicine before you set off. You don’t want to spend the whole trip feeling queasy, or worse yet getting sick overboard.

Boat trips to  Klein Curacao  leave so early in the morning, you’re likely to be hungry when you arrive. Luckily, the best boat tours include either breakfast sandwiches on the boat, or a buffet breakfast on arrival.

Once you arrive at Klein island Curacao, get ready for an amazing beach with crystal clear water.  The white sand on the Klein Curacao beach is post-card perfect; the water the kind of turquoise of summer dreams. Soak up the sun, take a dip, and relax on the soft sand. It’s beach paradise – and the calm, shallow waters are great for kids.

Another important thing to know: You’re going to be at the beach, in the sun, all day .  There are only two tour providers that have beach houses on the island, which offer shade, showers, and a comfortable, cool place to take a break from the sun.  For that reason alone, we think Miss Ann and Mermaid Boat Trips are the two best boat trip to Klein Curacao options.

Snorkeling fans will be amazed too. You’ll see all sorts of cool stuff right off the beach here, with the water clear enough to see the fish from the surface. The conditions are fit for teaching kids to snorkel , and you’re likely to see sea turtles.  

If you’re not into exploring, get a beach massage while the rest of your friends or family is underwater!

While you’re exploring, don’t forget to check out the abandoned Klein Curacao lighthouse and shipwreck. They are each about a 10-15 minute walk, so make sure to wear shoes. These neat sights give you a glimpse into the island’s history.

Speaking of exploring: Don’t expect to have cell phone reception or Wi-Fi on Klein Curacao. Plan this boat trip to Klein Curacao on a day when you can really unplug and enjoy the peacefulness of nature. We highly recommend bringing a portable charger for your phone so you don’t run out of battery while you’re trying to capture the beauty of the island.

A BBQ lunch will be included in your trip, too, so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own food. The best boat trip to Klein Curacao providers will also include water and non-alcoholic beverages. Many include rum punch and beer too.  Just make sure you know what’s included when you book.

Finally, you’ll wrap up your day with a sail back to Curacao.  Most boats leave around 4pm, getting you back by dinner time.  You’ll climb into bed happy, tired, and having made some incredible beach memories on Klein Curacao.

What to Bring to Klein Curacao

Even with a luxury tour provide, your day trip to Klein Curacao will involve a lot of time out on in the sun. It’s important to pack the essentials to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.  Once you’ve booked your boat to Klein island Curacao, get your beach bag ready with these must-have items:

Towels:  Most boat companies don’t provide towels, so grab some from your hotel.

Sunscreen: Klein Curacao is known for its pristine white sandy beaches and abundant sunshine, so packing a high SPF sunscreen is crucial to protect your skin from the strong tropical rays.

Hat and sunglasses: Along with sunscreen, bring a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to shield your face and eyes from the intense sun.

Change of clothing: I don’t need to tell you to bring your most stylish swimsuit , as you may end up in lots of photos.  But also remember: After a long day of swimming, you’ll feel much more comfortable on the boat ride home in clean, dry clothes.

Fins: Klein Curacao offers fantastic snorkeling opportunities, and nearly all tours include snorkels and masks – but not fins.  You don’t need fins, as the waters are shallow and easy to navigate. But if you want a full snorkel experience, consider packing your own.

Water shoes: The ocean floor near the shore can be rocky, so having water shoes or reef shoes can protect your feet while walking into the water.  

Beach bag or waterproof backpack: A beach bag or a waterproof backpack is useful for carrying your essentials, such as your sunscreen, towel, camera, snacks, and personal belongings.

Kid-friendly snacks: Your tour provider has food and drinks covered, but you may want to pack a familiar snacks for your kids if they don’t like the offerings.  Your options will be limited to what your boat tour provider offers, and you do not want to be stuck with hungry kids on a deserted island.

Cash: Although tours include amenities and meals, it’s advisable to bring some cash in case you need to purchase drinks or for tipping. 

Camera or waterproof phone case: Klein Curacao’s picturesque landscapes and vibrant marine life make it a prime spot for photography. Don’t forget to bring your camera or use a waterproof case for your phone to capture the beautiful scenery and unforgettable moments.

Going to the uninhabited island of Klein Curacao is one of the most popular day trips you can find in Curacao. There are many amazing offers – so it can be hard to choose the perfect one. And once you have booked your tour, there is a lot to know before you go.

Luckily for you, my husband and I have been to Klein Curacao so many times in the past years. We also know most of the tour operators after living on the island for so long.

To make sure you have an awesome day in paradise, we have created this ultimate guide for you!

Let’s get to it!

This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to you. Read my  disclaimer  for further information.

First of all, I want to quickly discuss if Klein Curacao boat trips are worth the money. They usually cost between USD 120,00 and USD 170,00 – which is not nothing.

We have taken the trip many times now with different companies, and we more or less thought they were worth the money. Some tour providers on the higher end are overpricing the experience, but in general, we recommend the experience to any traveler.

Here is what you’ll experience on this day in a nutshell, to help you make the decision:

✔️ Amazing, untouched nature

✔️ Beautiful, pristine beaches

✔️ Great snorkel spots, often sea turtles, and octopuses are spotted

✔️ Usually breakfast, BBQ lunch, and open bar on the boats

✔️ Sunshades and beach beds

✔️ Lighthouse and Shipwrecks

✔️ About 3,5 hours of boat time, 5 hours on the island

If this sounds good to you, keep on reading and learn how to plan your perfect day in Klein Curacao.

My husband and I have tried most tour providers in Curacao during our time on the island. I’ll not bore you with too many options, but rather only show you my favorite one .

I’ll also present a second option for luxury travelers or travelers who get seasick easily.

❤️ On our latest trip we booked the Klein Curacao day trip with Breeze Adventures on the boat Topcat. We both agreed that this was one of the best tours we have ever taken.

Here are some of the reasons why we loved this boat trip to Klein Curacao so much:

💙 The crew was attentive, friendly, fun, and extremely engaged with all passengers

💙 There were only about 25 guests on the boat! We loved the small group , it was a great mood and we made many friends

💙 The BBQ was extremely delicious and there was a small dance party for dessert

💙 They provided shades and beach beds as well a s ice-cold drinks all day . You could also borrow snorkels

💙 Best money/value relation from all Klein Curacao boat tours

💔 What we didn’t love: the sea was extremely rough and half the passengers threw up (not us luckily). While the crew was doing an amazing job, I suggest booking a different trip if you have trouble with rough seas.

Alternative tour: the only other tour provider we would recommend is Miss Anne. The tours are a lot more pricey, but the boat is bigger so you won’t mind the waves as much. They also have a bigger house on the island, including massages, etc.

Here is a list of things we recommend you bring to Klein Curacao on your day trip:

✔️ Beach towels

✔️ Reef-friendly sunscreen (most important, the sun is extremely aggressive)

✔️ Water shoes (dead corals make it hard to get in and out of the water)

✔️ Snorkel equipment (maybe also bring UV-protective shirts , my husband got burned!)

✔️ Seasick medicine

Additionally, you can also bring an underwater camera waterproof phone case, or a drone for awesome pictures from higher up.

3. Things To Do On Your Day in Klein Curacao

• Visit the Lighthouse
• See the Shipwrecks
• Snorkel With Sea turtles
• Walk on Klein Beach
• Jump into the crystal clear water
• Have a massage (only on Miss Ann Boat Trips)
• Eat delicious BBQ
• Take fun pictures

Most tours leave from the Caracasbaai early in the morning (around 07:30) and arrive on Klein Curacao about 1,5 hours later.

Once you arrive, it is time to get settled on a beach bed and put on some more sunscreen . Some tour providers offer breakfast on the island (Miss Ann), and others will give you something to eat on the boat before departure (Breeze Adventures).

The mornings on Klein Curacao are the best time for exploring because the sun is not too hot. You can walk all the way to the famous lighthouse and the shipwrecks (about 1,5 hours) or go snorkeling.

As far as I know, all tour providers serve a great BBQ lunch, typically between 12:00 and 13:00.

There is always a great selection for any taste. I loved the spare ribs, the self-made peanut sauce, and the fried plantains.

Usually, this is also when the bar opens with alcoholic drinks. Don’t drink too much, otherwise, you’ll get seasick on the way home!

Most boat trips leave from Klein Curacao pretty early in the day (around 3:00 PM). This means you’ll have not as much time to explore in the afternoon.

I suggest a snorkel with sea turtles or a nice swim in the ocean before going back home.

You can also stay on the boat after lunch and have a couple of cocktails! Try some Blue Curacao , if they have it!

At 3:00 PM it is usually time to go back to Curacao.

Boottocht Naar Klein Curaçao, de Ultieme Dag

Stel jezelf voor op een onbewoond eiland middenin de Caribische zee, een parelwit strand dat zich kilometers ver uitstrekt, kristalhelder water overal om je heen en in het midden van dat eiland een grote roze vuurtoren…. Klinkt als een paradijs toch?

Wel, jij kunt dat zijn! Stap aan boord van de BlueFinn catamaran en ga mee met de trip naar Klein Curacao. Vertrek is om 08:00 (BlueFinn2) & 08.30 (BlueFinn), u dient 15 minuten eerder aanwezig te zijn. De reis duurt circa een uur en drie kwartier, afhankelijk van het weer. Eenmaal op het eiland, ga zwemmen, snorkelen, duiken, verken het eiland, of ontspan op het strand. Een uitgebreide BBQ-lunch wordt rond het middaguur geserveerd, wanneer de full bar ook opengaat. We vertrekken rond 15.00* uur en zeilen met de wind in de rug terug naar het vaste land. Dit is ook wanneer ons beroemde "Captains Happy Hour" begint. Om circa 17.00 uur meren we weer aan.

*Catamaran BlueFinn2 (Apache) vertrekt om 8:00 uur vanaf Jan Thiel en om 14:30 uur vanaf Klein Curacao

*Catamaran BlueFinn (B&W) vertrekt om 8:30 uur vanaf Jan Thiel en om 15:00 uur vanaf Klein Curacao

Een reis met de Catamaran BlueFinn naar Klein Curaçao is zeer aangenaam, met de zon, wind en zeebries in je gezicht. De bouw van een catamaran vermindert de kans op zeekrankheid tot bijna niet bestaand, dus dit is een perfecte keuze voor mensen die gevoelig zijn voor bewegingsziekte. Het bemanning is er om u te informeren over de achtergronddetails van elke bezochte plaats tijdens de tour. Ze zijn ook daar om onbeperkt drankjes te serveren en een heerlijke BBQ-lunch.

Dolfijnen zwemmen vaak langs de boot, spelen in de golven en pronken met hun springvaardigheden. Op sommige dagen kan de reis wild en nat zijn vanwege de golven en stromingen, maar de beloning is onbetaalbaar!

Van verre zie je het zonovergoten bounty-eiland en de oude iconische roze vuurtoren. Bij aankomst op Klein Curacao is het kristalheldere water weer kalm, perfect om te zwemmen, te snorkelen en te duiken. Hoewel de droge manier om vanaf de catamaran naar de kust te komen met een rubberboot is, raden we je aan om een snorkel te nemen en naar de kust te zwemmen! Als je het water in gaat, zie je meteen veel kleurrijke vissen en zeeschildpadden overal om je heen! Tussen mei en augustus zou je zelfs babyzeeschildpadden hun weg kunnen zien banen vanaf het zandstrand naar het heldere oceaanwater.

Wat je kunt verwachten bij aankomst op Klein Curacao

Als je aan land gaat, verken het eiland terwijl je onderweg geniet van de zon. De afstand van het strand tot de iconische roze vuurtoren, de scheepswrakken en de ruïnes is niet te ver voor een wandeling. Doe voldoende zonnebrandcrème op en probeer daar vroeg naartoe te gaan, want naarmate de dag vordert kan het geleidelijk aan echt heet worden in het midden van het eiland.

Rond het middaguur staat de bemanning klaar om u een uitgebreid BBQ-buffet te serveren bestaande uit 3 soorten vlees van de grill (smakelijke spare ribs, kip, steak), 3 zelfgemaakte salades (pasta pesto salade, kidneybonensalade, couscous salade), brood en onze beroemde zelfgemaakte Nederlandse pindasaus!

De terugreis van Klein Curacao naar Curacao

Rond 15.00 uur* varen we terug en nemen afscheid van deze Caribische parel. Op de vleugels van de wind gaan we terug naar Curacao. De terugweg verloopt soepel omdat we met de noordoostelijke passaatwinden en stromingen mee varen. Perfecte omstandigheden om ons beroemde Captains Happy Hour te starten!! Geniet van vers fruit en uw favoriete drankje! Kijkend naar de zonsondergang, kan het niet anders dan om herinneringen op te halen over een mooie dag en een geweldige tijd op Klein Curacao.
