The tour

Blue Room, shipwreck and Buddha caves — one trip

The Blue Room is one of the must-see places of Curaçao, and going out with me is the iconic way to see it. All three stops are part of the same tour.

The Blue Room Tour

One tour, three stops. The Blue Room is one of the must-see places of Curaçao and going out with me is the iconic way to see it: a half-submerged cave where the sunlight through the water turns the whole room — and everyone in it — electric blue. From there we swim over the shipwreck and finish in the Buddha caves.

  • Blue Room — swim inside the glowing cave
  • The shipwreck I sank together with my father
  • The Buddha caves you can swim straight into

$35 per person — cash preferred

Our Beach Kitchen

My wife cooks, and she cooks well

If you come on the boat trip you can eat with Mrs Goodlife right on the sand: fresh fish, the famous Obersi fries from our own family recipe, and cold soft drinks. Most guests step off the boat, sit down and stay much longer than they planned.

Ratings and reviews from Google Maps and from guests who came back to tell me.

“Een geweldige belevenis op een heel bijzondere plek. De blue cave is een pareltje. De zon betovert het blauwe water in een paradijselijke gloed. Must see. Afgesloten met een hapje en drankje in de gastvrije familiekeuken.”

What does the Blue Room tour cost?
$35 per person. It is the cheapest and most adventurous way to see the Blue Room on Curaçao, and the tour includes all three stops: the Blue Room, the shipwreck and the Buddha caves. Cash is preferred — the wifi on this side of the island is not always stable, so card payments can fail.
What time do we leave?
Departure is at 13:00. Come to Playa Santa Cruz in good time. The trip takes a minimum of 1.5 hours.
Do I need to reserve?
No reservation needed — just call me or come to the beach at 1 o'clock and you are welcome. A WhatsApp beforehand is always nice so I know you are coming.
What kind of boat is it?
A comfortable new boat with plenty of shade and enough seating for everyone. No crowded little dinghy — you sit well, out of the sun, the whole way.
What should I bring?
Cash and your own snorkel mask. Plus sunscreen, water and a towel.
