The Blue Room is definitely a “must-see” on Curaçao. It’s a stunning cave, but since it’s only accessible by sea, it’s not always open to everyone who wants to take a peek inside. This Blue Room boat tour makes it possible. It’s a lovely 3.5-hour trip that also includes a snorkeling stop at Shon Mosa as a bonus.

What to expect

This beautiful boat trip to the Blue Room is a unique experience. Most other boat trips to the Blue Room are day trips that take at least 6 hours. This 3.5-hour trip is a wonderful way to start your day. Upon arrival in San Juan, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your guide, Arie-Jan. Soon after, you’ll board the Barku Bèrdè (Green Boat) for a lovely morning cruise along the coast. From San Juan, you’ll sail toward Westpunt, passing all kinds of beautiful little beaches along the way, interspersed with Curaçao’s pristine, rugged nature. After about an hour, you’ll arrive at the Blue Room.

What is Blue Room?

Blue Room is a cave on the west side of Curaçao. The cave is accessible only by sea, by swimming through a low passageway. To do this, you’ll need to swim with your head underwater for a few seconds, but once inside the cave, you can breathe normally above water again. Inside the cave, you’ll find yourself in a space bathed in a blue glow—a beautiful natural effect created by sunlight filtering through the seawater to illuminate the cave. This effect makes Blue Room unique to Curaçao and, as a result, a true must-see tourist attraction that you shouldn’t miss. At the back of the cave (about 50 meters from the entrance)

After you have been at leisure in Blue Room, the boat trip will sail back towards San Juan. Along the way you will make a swimming & snorkeling stop at the beautiful and pristine Shon Mosa. Around 12:30 you will be back at San Juan and this beautiful boat trip to Blue Room is over.
N.B. : It is recommended to use a snorkel set when visiting Blue Room. If you have your own, bring it with you. If you do not have a snorkel set, please let us know in advance so guide Arie-Jan can arrange it for you.

Other info

Access to the Blue Room cave is not 100% guaranteed. It depends on the current. Occasionally the current is too strong or the waves too high making it too dangerous to enter this cave (on the open sea). Also, depending on time of year and current, there may be many jellyfish at Blue Room making swimming in Blue Room strongly discouraged. If access to Blue Room is not possible, an alternative location will be visited. Often guide Arie-Jan will know this in advance and an alternative will be discussed, but it can happen that Blue Room is not accessible at that moment.
