Experience the highlight of your holiday on Klein Curaçao!

4 min read

If you’re planning a holiday in Curaçao and looking for things to do, chances are Klein Curaçao has already appeared on your list. This uninhabited island off the southeast coast of Curaçao is reached by boat, with the crossing taking approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours with BlueFinn, depending on sea conditions.

But is a full-day trip to Klein Curaçao worth it?

For many visitors, the answer is an easy yes. A day on an uninhabited Caribbean island, surrounded by white sand and crystal-clear water, is a completely different experience from spending the day at one of Curaçao’s regular beaches. For many of our guests, a day trip to Klein Curaçao becomes one of the highlights of their holiday.

 

Why Visit Klein Curaçao?

Klein Curaçao is a largely undeveloped island with no hotels or busy streets. Instead, you’ll find a long white sandy beach, crystal-clear Caribbean water, a historic lighthouse and shipwrecks along the island’s windward coast.

There’s plenty to do once you arrive:

  • Go snorkeling and discover colorful fish, reef structures and other marine life. Sea turtles are regularly spotted in the waters around the island, although sightings can never be guaranteed.
  • Visit the iconic lighthouse and discover one of Klein Curaçao’s most recognizable landmarks.
  • Relax on the beach and enjoy the white sand, turquoise water and laid-back island atmosphere.
  • Discover the shipwrecks along the windward coast, where the rougher side of the island creates a completely different landscape.

Or simply do nothing at all. Find a spot on the beach, cool off in the Caribbean Sea and enjoy a day away from the busier side of Curaçao.

 

    Worried About Seasickness?

    The journey to Klein Curaçao takes you across open sea, so the boat will move with the waves. If you know you’re sensitive to motion sickness, a little preparation can make your trip more comfortable.

    • Choose a comfortable vessel: BlueFinn’s spacious catamarans are designed with comfort and stability in mind.
    • Eat something light beforehand: Avoid heavy, fatty or spicy meals before departure.
    • Sit near the middle of the boat: This is generally where you’ll experience less movement.
    • Keep your eyes on the horizon: Looking at a stable point in the distance can help your body adjust to the motion.
    • Get some fresh air: Being outside in the fresh air may help if you start feeling unwell.
    • Put your phone away: Avoid reading or looking at your screen for long periods while the boat is moving.
    • Consider motion sickness medication: If you know you’re prone to seasickness, an over-the-counter remedy may help. These medicines generally work best when taken before travel. Always follow the product instructions and ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional if you’re unsure which option is suitable for you.
