Discover the beauty of Curacao and Caracas Bay as you paddle along the amazing coastline by kayak! View natural wonders and historical landmarks like Fort Beekenburg en route to a small beach, where you’ll find some of the best snorkeling on the island. Swim, snorkel and play in the pristine waters before making your way back to the pier.
After a safety briefing at the boat pier, climb into your kayak and follow your professional guide along the coast, paddling through crystal-clear water.
You will kayak for approximately 20 minutes on open water across Caracas Bay. While you paddle for another 20 minutes along the protected waters of the coastline, keep an eye out for cultural highlights such as Fort Beekenburg. The fort, originally built in 1703 to ward off the French and British fleets, was named after Heer van Beek who coordinated the city of Willemstad's defense.
After landing at a deserted stretch of beach — a combination of sand and coral stones — you’ll have access to some of the best snorkeling sites on the island! Renowned not only for their natural underwater beauty, these remote spots are acclaimed due to the lack of crowds.
Before kayaking back to the pier, cool off with a refreshing swim in the tropical waters. Above the beach you’ll find a manor estate, originally a quarantine hospital built in 1700 to treat ill sailors. Then enjoy an approximate 30-minute return paddle as you glide back through the water.
