2019 Curaçao part 3
Day 5: Klein Curaçao
15 miles off the southeast point of Curaçao, is the 1.7 km squared uninhabited island of Klein Curaçao.
We did this day trip along with many others as it’s one of and possibly the most popular activity amongst visitors to Curaçao.
You can only get there by boat with duration depending on boat (45 minutes to 2.5 hours) - with our boat, Serendipity, taking over an hour and a half. We traveled with Miss Ann Boattrips (https://www.missannboattrips.com/en/trips/klein-curacao/).
Klein Curaçao prides itself in its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and a very spectacular and colourful underwater scenery.
Our main guide was a gal named Ishi, and our captain was Niko. We boarded at the marina in Jan Sopha via a short tender to a much big yacht. Departure finally at 7:40 and around 1 hour 30 minutes to Klein Curaçao all the while heading into a strong wind.
On the really flat island with no tall vegetation the high point is the lighthouse. Also visible were 2 shipwrecks on the other side. Once we settled in to our shaded lounge chairs and had breakfast we headed across the highlight to visit those highlights. The shipwreck side had those two visible wrecks along with remnants of others. With the waves that were crashing into the island it was easy to see how wrecks may have occurred.
Snorkeling the gorgeous emerald blue water around the little pier had an abundance of fish to see.
After lunch a snorkel with turtles was offered. Unfortunately our entire list of tourists on our boat joined in... quite a zoo out in the water. But nearing the exit point we did find and swim with a few turtles. Kerry, Donna and I had hung back a bit from the crowd which meant better turtle time as others exited the water.
