Large Group Private Clearboat Tour: Exploring Curaçao’s Waters in Style

Imagine gliding along Curaçao’s coast on a sleek, glass-bottom boat with your friends or family — no strangers, just your own crew, and plenty of opportunities to see vibrant marine life and secluded beaches. For $140 per person, this 1 hour 30-minute private tour offers a flexible, intimate way to experience some of the island’s most beautiful spots. Starting at Daaibooi Beach, your group can customize your itinerary, snorkel in calm, coral-filled waters, and relax with snacks and drinks while taking in the stunning scenery.

What we love about this experience is the exclusivity — your group won’t be sharing the boat with strangers — and the customizable nature of the trip, which ensures it fits your interests and pace. Plus, the inclusion of snorkeling gear and refreshments makes it a comfortable, hassle-free adventure.

It’s ideal for families, friends, or groups of 5 or more who want a private, tailored day on the water.
