This is genuinely one of the BEST beaches we’ve ever seen — bright blue, crystal‑clear waters and untouched white sand that feels like paradise. Little Curaçao is a tiny, uninhabited islet off Curaçao’s coast and an absolute must‑do day trip if you’re visiting Curaçao.

Little Curaçao Day Trips — Time & Cost:

• Most full‑day tours run about 8–10 hours total, with travel time to the island usually 1.5–2 hours each way on a traditional boat. Some fast‑boat options can cut that ride to around 45–50 minutes.

• Prices for all‑inclusive full‑day boat tours typically start around $115–$120 USD per person, which often includes lunch, snorkeling gear, and often drinks. (which is expensive but, actually worth it)

• More premium options with BBQ, open bars, or bigger catamarans range roughly $120–$150+, and there are private or luxury charters (which can be higher) if you want a more secluded experience.

• Some tours include breakfast and BBQ lunch on the island, snorkel equipment, and shaded seating on the beach.
  

What to Expect:
You’ll usually depart early morning from Willemstad or a marina like Caracas Bay, spend several hours on Little Curaçao exploring, swimming, and snorkeling, and return later in the afternoon.

Things We Loved on Little Curaçao:

• Snorkeling the Reefs – Incredible visibility and a good chance of spotting turtles and colourful fish right off the beach.

• Shipwreck & Lighthouse – One of the most photogenic spots on the island — perfect for photos and exploration.

• Secluded Beach Time – With no facilities or crowds, it feels like your own private piece of paradise.
  

Tips for Visiting:

• Bring essentials: plenty of water, reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat, reef shoes, and a waterproof camera — there are no facilities or shade on the island, so be prepared.

• Choppy water warning: The boat ride can be rough depending on conditions, so consider seasickness meds if you need them.

• Respect the environment: Pack out everything you bring and avoid walking on coral or disturbing marine life.

Little Curaçao was one of those experiences that felt truly “island paradise” — swimming in the clearest water, snorkelling with turtles, exploring a shipwreck, and wandering an untouched beach all in one day.
