Sunlight only enters from below the water, which makes the water inside the cave glow bright blue.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>How do you get to the Blue Room?<\/h3><\/summary><p>The easiest way is by boat. Banda Abou Tours sails to the Blue Room every Wednesday on The Blue Pearl from Coral Estate; for the last few metres you swim with a guide through the narrow entrance into the cave.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>When does the boat to the Blue Room sail?<\/h3><\/summary><p>Every Wednesday from 10:00 am to around 2:00 pm, from the dive shop next to restaurant Karakter at Coral Estate Resort. Check-in is at 9:45 am.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>How much does the Blue Room boat trip cost?<\/h3><\/summary><p>Through NaarCuracao, the boat trip costs US$ 95 per person from age 12 and US$ 71 for children aged 4 to 11. Children up to and including age 3 join for free.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>How do I pay for the Blue Room boat trip?<\/h3><\/summary><p>When you book, you pay a deposit online. For the balance you receive a payment link in advance; payment must be received no later than 48 hours before the tour. So there\u2019s nothing left to pay on the day.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>Do I need to be able to swim for the Blue Room?<\/h3><\/summary><p>Yes, the cave can only be entered by swimming. Children who are less confident swimmers should bring armbands, and the guide swims with you.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>What if the Blue Room can\u2019t be reached?<\/h3><\/summary><p>With high waves or strong currents, the boat doesn\u2019t go into the cave. You then snorkel at another beautiful spot along the west coast.<\/p><\/details>\n  <details><summary><h3>Can I cancel for free?<\/h3><\/summary><p>Yes, changes and cancellations are free up to 48 hours before the booked date.<\/p><\/details>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<p><!-- AFSLUITER: Omslag-blok met de UITGELICHTE AFBEELDING van de pagina.
