Why book Klein Curaçao?

An uninhabited island of about 2 square kilometers, Klein Curaçao is known for its unparalleled beauty and serene tranquility.

The island offers everything you are looking for in a tropical paradise: a long white sandy beach, a breathtaking underwater world and a sense of total escape. No crowds or stress here, just the sounds of the sea and wind. Ahhh, vacation as it is meant to be….

But what makes Klein Curaçao truly unique is its unspoiled nature. Whether you want to relax with your toes in the sand, look for turtles or explore the island, this is a destination you won’t soon forget.

What to do on Klein Curaçao?

Although the island is small, there is a surprising amount to do. Here are a few highlights you definitely don’t want to miss:

Relax on the white beach
The beach of Klein Curaçao is so white and soft that it feels almost surreal. Plop down on one of the beach beds and enjoy the sunshine. Don’t forget to bring plenty of sunscreen – the tropical sun is powerful here.
Snorkeling and diving in the underwater world
The waters around Klein Curaçao are among the clearest and most beautiful in the Caribbean. Grab your snorkel and discover the colorful coral reef, swarms of tropical fish and – with a little luck – curious sea turtles. For diving enthusiasts, there are also some great spots to be found.
Visit lighthouse and shipwrecks
Want to add some adventure to your day? Take a walk to the iconic Klein Curaçao lighthouse. It’s a great place to take photos (Instagram, here you come!) and enjoy the view. Nearby, you’ll also find some impressive shipwrecks that provide a glimpse into the history of seafaring around the island. Feel free to hike beyond these spots, too, as the island also has beautiful salt flats!
A BBQ lunch or picnic on the beach
Most boat trips to Klein Curaçao include a sumptuous lunch, and believe us: nothing beats a barbecue on the beach with a cold drink in hand. Enjoy with a big G!

How do you get to Klein Curaçao?

You can reach Klein Curaçao only by boat, and there are several tour operators that offer these trips. Depending on your preference, you can choose a luxury catamaran, a fast motorboat or a more traditional boat trip.

Popular options:

Catamaran boat trips: Perfect for a luxurious and comfortable day with often an open bar and BBQ.
Fast motorboats: Ideal if you want to spend less time on the water and get to the island faster.
Day tours with facilities: Some tours offer beach houses, umbrellas and showers for added comfort.

Most boat tours leave early in the morning (between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.) from Jan Thiel, Spanish Water or Willemstad. After a relaxing (or adventurous) trip of about an hour and a half, you’ll find yourself with your feet in the soft sand.

Tips for your visit to Klein Curaçao

A day on Klein Curaçao is pure enjoyment, but good preparation makes it even better. Here are our insider tips:

Bring sunscreen, a hat and UV clothing. Shade is scarce on the island, so protection from the sun is a must. The sun also burns during the boat ride itself!
Do you suffer from seasickness? Then take your precautions because the sea can be rough!
Bring your snorkeling gear. If you don’t have your own gear, you can often borrow it through tour providers.
Hydrate! Make sure you drink plenty of water, especially if you are actively snorkeling or hiking.
Book your tour on time. Especially in high season, popular trips can fill up quickly.
