Select participants and date
The catamaran slips away from Village Marina with a low, satisfied thrum; the city’s colors fade and the west coast of Curaçao opens like a sequence of postcards. Salt tang and sunscreen hang in the air as the crew points out the first coral-fringed bays. You’ll trade the harbor’s bustle for Kokomo’s shallow snorkel gardens, then settle into a slower rhythm—swaying, snorkeling, and a short, dramatic approach to the Blue Room, a sea-cut cave that blushes electric blue when the light hits its waters.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The crew enforces reef-friendly practices—use biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and marine life.
Pack a snug snorkel mask
Gear is provided but a personal mask reduces leaks and fog for clearer underwater viewing.
Prepare for motion
If you’re susceptible to seasickness, take preventive medicine before departure—the ocean leg can be bouncy.
Flag dietary restrictions early
Notify the operator 24 hours ahead for vegetarian, vegan, or allergy accommodations for the BBQ lunch.
