Klein Curacao Day Trip with Premium Open Bar and BBQ-Lunch
Description
From far away you can spot the bounty sunlit island and its old iconic lighthouse. Upon arrival at Klein Curacao, the crystal-clear water is calm, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Although the dry way to get to shore from the catamaran is by dinghy, we recommend you grab a snorkel and swim to shore! Upon going into the water, you will immediately spot many colorful fish and turtles all around you! When you get ashore, explore the island while blissfully sunbathing along the way: visit the iconic pink lighthouse, the shipwrecks and ruins. At noon, the crew is ready to serve you up an extensive BBQ buffet. Enjoy drinks from the open premium bar. Around 3:00 pm we set sail, waving goodbye to this Caribbean pearl and on the wings of the wind head back to Curacao. CRUISE PASSENGERS, PLEASE NOTE: Our departure location Jan Thiel is approx. 25 to 30 minutes from the Curaçao Cruise Terminal. Unfortunately cruise ships dock too late to allow time for check-in here at 08:00 AM.

Loved this tour. The catamaran was so much fun. Plenty of food and drinks. Lunch was delicious. The beach was beautiful. This tour provided everything we were looking for only wished that we were able to see the sea turtles. There were sights to see on the beach you just have to walk a bit to get to the lighthouse and the ship wreck.
Super fun way to spend a day. Highly recommend. Crystal clear beach, perfect for snorkeling. The ride to the island was quite rough and several people fell sick, but the time spent there and the ride back were great. The menu is pretty minimal for vegetarians, so best to carry a snack.
Thank you for your recommendation! We’re glad the beautiful beach, snorkeling, and return journey made for a memorable day despite the rough trip out. We also appreciate your feedback about the limited vegetarian options and will share it with our team. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
We did a private charter for our family of seven on the Kailani boat. Christian and Alex were excellent, personable, and fun. The boat was SO MUCH faster than the catamarans, leaving us more time to enjoy. It handled the waves well and we sat at the lower level in the back and did not get sick (or scared). We were surprised at how AMAZING lunch was. Seriously, one of the best meals we had all week. We also had time to snorkel at Tugboat beach which was excellent. Highly recommend this fun day.
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted your family enjoyed a fast and comfortable day aboard Kailani, the snorkeling at Tugboat, and especially the amazing lunch. We’ll gladly share your kind words with Christian and Alex and hope to welcome you all back!
This trip was amazing! Smooth from pick up to drop off. The boat was beautiful and had a lot of shaded seating which was so helpful as the sun is quite strong. The food was great and the crew was awesome. The beach was absolutely stunning and had a nice walk to the lighthouse. We definitely enjoyed this excursion.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed the beautiful boat, shaded seating, delicious food, attentive crew, and stunning Klein Curaçao. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
Awesome ! Great crew and great food! The color of the water is out of this world. So pretty !! I met a wonderful family on board and other great people 😀😀
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed our crew, delicious food, the incredible blue water, and the wonderful people you met aboard. We hope to welcome you back for another beautiful day!
This is an awesome excursion. The trip out to Klein was rough, and multiple people got sick, but the crew did a really good job with getting everyone situated with that aspect. Klein is an awesome spot to check out the lighthouse and shipwreck, swim, and hang on the beach. The BBQ lunch was great as well. On the way back (with much calmer waters), the crew turned the boat into a dance party with the drinks flowing. While many people on the boat were saying they aren’t going to get on a boat again for a very long time because of how rough the trip out to the island was, I’m still giving 5 stars since that’s entirely out of the company/crew’s control and every aspect of their handling of the day was fantastic.
Thank you for your thoughtful 5-star review! We’re sorry the outward journey was so rough, but grateful that our crew could support everyone and still make the day memorable. We’re delighted you enjoyed Klein Curaçao, the BBQ, and the dance party on the way back. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
All the attention from the crew was excellent. Very kind, attentive, fun. The food was very delicious and the cleanliness and organization of the boat stand out.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the helpful crew, delicious buffet, drinks, and varied music. It’s great to hear the cruise was such a remarkable experience. We hope to welcome you aboard again!
What a super trip it was again. On board everything is there, a super friendly and helpful crew. The trip there is nice and relaxed, enjoyed the view of the coast of Curacao. Make sure you are on the left side of the ship. Once you arrive on Klein Curacao you have to swim quickly to the island if you want shade from the palapas. There are plenty of cots, but shade spots are not. So take the 8:00 a.m. boat or you won't have any shade. Lunch is perfect, enough delicious food! On the way back, it's a party on board. Music, dance and a nice drink! Was a beautiful experience again!
Bedankt voor deze mooie en uitgebreide review! Geweldig dat jullie opnieuw genoten van onze vriendelijke crew, de heerlijke lunch en het feestje op de terugweg. Ook jullie handige tips over het uitzicht en de schaduwplekken waarderen we. Graag tot een volgende belevenis!
A great day on the water! It was nice because everyone does their own thing once we get to the island - snorkel, walk the island or sunbathe! The BBQ was delicious!!!! These guys work hard to keep you entertained and it shows! Highly recommend!
Thank you for your wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted you enjoyed the freedom to explore Klein Curaçao your way, the delicious BBQ, and our hardworking crew. We’d love to welcome you aboard again!
