Our team's take
Did the Full Moon Hike with Rock Climbing Curaçao earlier this year, and it's honestly a different kind of adventure than the usual Curacao stuff. You check in at their shop, sign a waiver, grab a headlamp, and the first stretch is flat and easy. Then the real climbing starts, up a rocky path to the top of the Tafelberg, and the view over Spanish Water is incredible. You wait up there until the sun's fully down and the moon rises, it gets properly chilly once you've been sweating and the wind picks up, so bring a light long sleeve. The way down is the real adventure part, scrambling over rocks with your hands and feet, headlamps on, and with barely any light around you can see so many stars. Good hiking shoes and a decent level of fitness matter here. Took about 3 hours total, and it's a fun one to do with a group, you end up meeting new people along the way.
My Curacao Guide local team
Experience Curacao in the most magical way by joining Rock Climbing Curacao’s Full Moon Hike - an enchanting evening adventure on the iconic Tafelberg where you’ll witness a breathtaking sunset and descend under the glow of the full moon. This walk takes place only once a month, only during the full moon, and therefore takes place on a different date each month.
What can you expect?
Embark on a unique hiking experience that combines adventure, nature, and the mystical beauty of Curacao at night. The Full Moon Hike takes you on an 8.5 km journey to the top of Tafelberg, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views as the sun sets over the island and the Caribbean Sea.
As the moon rises, its bright natural light illuminates the rocky trails, creating a surreal atmosphere where, at times, you can even turn off your headlamp and walk guided only by moonlight. This hike is suitable for anyone with a basic fitness level - no previous hiking experience required.
Along the way, you’ll encounter untouched nature, diverse landscapes, and nighttime flora and fauna that you would never see during the day. The experience is calm, energizing, and unforgettable, making it one of the most unique outdoor adventures on Curacao.
Where will this tour take you?
The journey begins at the Rock Climbing Curacao shop, located on the grounds of Santa Barbara Plantation. From there, you’ll start your hike through gentle, green terrain before gradually climbing the rugged paths leading to the Tafelberg summit.
Once at the top, you’ll reach the scenic Proa viewpoint - offering a stunning panorama of the island, inland bays, and coastline. As daylight fades into golden-hour colors, the moonlight takes over, guiding you on your descent along rocky trails back down the mountain.
With views of Curacao’s natural beauty and the night sky above you, this hike delivers a magical and serene adventure like no other.
