What to expect

You are expected at 08:00 for check-in at Village Marina (Caracas Bay). After some explanations from the captain, the catamaran leaves at 8:30 a.m. and immediately the enjoyment begins as you sail away over the Spanish Water and sandwiches are served for breakfast. Soon you leave the city behind you and sail along all kinds of beautiful beaches and idyllic bays on the west coast. Three stops will be made:

Kokomo

One of Curacao’s most popular beaches. The boat anchors in the bay after which you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling. Along the rocks on the side you will find the smallest beach in Curacao. A wonderful start to the day!

Cas Abou

Cas Abao Beach is a must see! This beach has been named among the best beaches in the world by National Geographic and others. Swim, snorkel and relax. Meanwhile, the crew on board will prepare a delicious BBQ lunch for you.

Blue Room

After lunch we head to Blue Room, a cave accessible only by sea where the sun and sky transform this underwater cave into a beautiful “blue room.” Under the guidance of the crew, you can explore this beautiful cave.

Back by bus

After Blue Room, the catamaran continues sailing toward Westpoint, Playa Kalki. At Playa Kalki, the bus is ready to take you back to town. Unique! This is the Westcoast trip where you go back to the city by bus. This has a big advantage, you have no chance of seasickness, which you otherwise do if you sail from Westpoint towards the city (always against the current).
Around 05:30 pm you will be back at Village Marina and the tour will come to an end. No doubt you had a wonderful day!

Boat trip towards Westcoast of 9 hours

Why must you do this tour?

The only Westcoast trip that actually sails to West Point (Playa Kalki). You’ll see most of the beaches!
Because you always sail outward with the current and return by bus. The only catamaran trip with no chance of seasickness.
This is the most popular West Coast trip, the only one that goes 3x a week.

Other info

Bring sun protection with you. A cap, sun hat, UV shirt, a thin cloth, etc. Especially in the afternoon, it can get very hot on the boat and you will be glad for every bit of sun protection.
If you go back by bus, there are no drinks available on the bus. Take care of this yourself by grabbing 1 or 2 cans of drinks just before you disembark at Playa Kalki.
On the way back, the bus already passes some accommodations that are on the route for guests who had booked a transfer. If you don’t feel like sitting out the whole bus ride, book the transfer yourself.
