A Unique Way to Explore Curaçao: The Private Beach Cruiser Experience
Imagine touring Curaçao in a comfortable, open-air beach cruiser designed for up to 10 people. For $55 per person, this private, four-hour adventure offers a relaxed way to see some of the island’s most popular sights, with the added bonus of WiFi so you can share your adventure in real time. The tour includes pick-up (if arranged), and the small-group setting ensures you won’t be part of a noisy, crowded bus.
What we love most about this tour is how it combines freedom and comfort—you’re the only group on the cruiser, which means a more intimate, flexible experience. Plus, the stops are thoughtfully chosen to highlight the island’s natural beauty and local wildlife, like the flamingo sanctuary and turtle-filled waters. The other highlight: the cliff jump at Playa Forti, perfect for thrill-seekers or anyone curious about local daring.
One thing to consider is the minimum of 7 people per booking. If your group is smaller, you might need to coordinate with others or wait to go in a larger group. Also, this tour is ideal for those looking for a relaxed, scenic exploration rather than a packed itinerary. It’s especially great for families, friends, or mixed groups who appreciate comfort and authenticity over hurried sightseeing.
This experience suits travelers who want a personalized tour with flexible stops, enjoy nature and wildlife, and prefer to explore on a public transportation-adjacent vehicle that’s more open and social than a taxi or bus. If that sounds like your kind of adventure, this could be a perfect fit.

This small cliffside beach is famous for its daring cliff jumpers. It’s a 20-minute stop to watch the brave or to take a leap yourself if you’re feeling adventurous. The view from here is dramatic, and the atmosphere lively without feeling touristy. - Playa Piskado (Playa Grandi):
One of the island’s best snorkeling spots, this beach is well-known for its turtles. With about 30 minutes allocated, you’ll have the chance to snorkel and possibly swim alongside these gentle creatures.
