We did the blue caves and turtles boat excursion with powerboat tours. Highly recommend- if you want a personalized tour of the west side of the island- this is way to go. You get to see beautiful blue water and beaches you wouldn’t be able to see on land. They were fantastic, I would totally do it again. Plus- the included lunch was great!

This is an absolute MUST if you are visiting Curaçao. We have done several boat tours on our trips in the past and this was hands down our favorite. The boat was in great condition, the crew was friendly and attentive, lunch was very good, and the ride was so much fun. I don’t think I stopped smiling the whole time. The best part is that it is a smaller group so it is great for families and people looking for a fun ride and a relaxing day on Klein Island.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The guys work hard to make sure everyone has a good time. The rode out to Kline Curacao is not for everyone/ it can be a little rough but the captain prepared us well and it was well worth the bumps. The island is gorgeous and we felt the crew did a great job. Thank you !!

SO MUCH FUN! Someone recommended Mermaid for the trip but they were completely booked so I looked for alternatives. It is awesome getting to the island in 45 minutes instead of an hour and 45. We saved 2 hours! My 60 year old boyfriend was hesitant about the trip but ended up loving it. We would have been so bored on the slower boats. The staff is fun, knowledgeable and entertaining. The island is gorgeous - so much better than anything on the main island. The water is crystal clear. The food was good. I highly recommend this if you like speed. You will get wet and have fun. The only thing I would have done differently was bringing a small wash cloth or something to wipe my eyes during the trip.

On August 20th, we went to Klein Curaçao by speedboat with 2 adult en 2 children (13-15 year). What an amazing experience! We were accompanied by two fun and enthusiastic captains. The crossing is wild and fast—truly an incredible thrill. The high waves make the ride even more spectacular. Seasick? Take a pill beforehand and you’ll be fine. If you have back problems or are pregnant, it’s advised not to join the trip. Klein Curaçao is stunning—with its azure-blue sea, white beaches, and peaceful surroundings. The captains provided a delicious BBQ. Take a refreshing swim and go search for turtles, stingrays, and other beautiful fish. We were lucky enough to spot some of them! All in all, it’s a bit of an investment, but absolutely worth it.
