About this experience
From far away you can spot the bounty sunlit island and its old iconic lighthouse. Upon arrival at Klein Curacao, the crystal-clear water is calm, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Although the dry way to get to shore from the catamaran is by dinghy, we recommend you grab a snorkel and swim to shore! Upon going into the water, you will immediately spot many colorful fish and turtles all around you!
When you get ashore, explore the island while blissfully sunbathing along the way: visit the iconic pink lighthouse, the shipwrecks and ruins. At noon, the crew is ready to serve you up an extensive BBQ buffet. Enjoy drinks from the open premium bar.
Around 3:00 pm we set sail, waving goodbye to this Caribbean pearl and on the wings of the wind head back to Curacao.
CRUISE PASSENGERS, PLEASE NOTE: Our departure location Jan Thiel is approx. 25 to 30 minutes from the Curaçao Cruise Terminal. Unfortunately cruise ships dock too late to allow time for check-in here at 08:00 AM.
