“The place was nice and clean. Staff was friendly and pleasant. The only negative thing I’d say was that they didn’t tell us where the buffet was located. My wife and I were in a section where they were serving hamburgers and chicken tenders. By the time I found out about the buffet they were closing the section down at 3pm.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 944 reviews · from $120

Spend about nine hours sailing from Jan Thiel to uninhabited Klein Curaçao, with breakfast, a BBQ lunch, open bar, snorkeling gear, and roughly five hours on the island. The crew, including captains such as Jay and Michael, keeps the day lively, but the ride out can be very rough and wet.

“I gave this tour a 5 stars but I also need to add that it was not personally catered for my personality. That's not a knock on this staff. If you have ever gone on Carnival cruise and then a Norwegian cruise, I would compare this day trip to a CarRead more”

The guide Anita was engaging and quite knowledgeable of Aruba and history with many meaningful personal insights. She also provided background of the sights so necessary to appreciate what you were seeing! We found it was education which was so easy to take in on the whole. Nadine was the Co-Host and driver for this excursion and added to the whole experience. Both seemed to be very invested that you could appreciate Curacao's rich history and natural wonders!”

Altos de Chavon is so beautiful, it does transport you to a European city, I only wish they had given us a little bit of time to wonder the place on our own as well. I wish I had gotten to see the museum.”

We were picked up at our hotel lobby, the transport made a few other hotel stops which takes some time but to be expected. Once we arrived, we were met by the staff who checked us in and brought us directly to the boat. From that point it was nothing but fun and sun, some music and drinks on the boat, visits to several places around Soana island and swimming and snorkeling in tropical waters. We met several local islanders who provided some of the best Dominican food we’ve had…”
