Good to know

  • Klein Curaçao boats leave between 7:00 and 8:30 a.m. The outbound leg runs against the current and is often rough, so take seasickness medication before you board.
  • Kids pay about half price on most Klein Curaçao boats.
  • Check what open bar means: Miss Ann and Mermaid charge for alcohol on weekdays, while BlueFinn and Irie Tours include it.
  • Hotel transfers often add $15 to $19 per person. With a rental car you can drive yourself to Jan Thiel, Caracas Bay or Santa Barbara.
  • Cruise passengers: pick a tour with cruise terminal pickup that lasts 5 hours or less, such as a turtle tour or the amphibious bus.
  • Bring water shoes for west-side snorkel beaches; the entry is often rocky.
  • ATV tour prices are often per vehicle for two people. Work out the price per person before you compare.
