    De voordelen van snorkelen op Curacao

    Verderop in dit artikel geven we nog wat praktische informatie die van belang kan zijn bij het snorkelen op Curaçao. Maar eerst moeten we kijken naar de voordelen die u zult ervaren als u een snorkelvakantie boekt voor het eiland Curaçao. Niet iedereen weet waarom dit land zo geschikt is om te snorkelen. We hebben het u gemakkelijker gemaakt door de belangrijkste redenen om te gaan snorkelen op Curaçao hieronder op een rijtje te zetten.

    Curaçao heeft een zeer heldere zee

    Als u ervoor kiest om te gaan snorkelen, wilt u natuurlijk niet te maken krijgen met troebel water. Het doel is natuurlijk om zoveel mogelijk vissen te zien. Als u ervoor kiest om op Curaçao te gaan snorkelen, hoeft u zich echt geen zorgen te maken. De grote verscheidenheid aan vissen in combinatie met het heldere water zorgt ervoor dat u tijdens het snorkelen de beste tijd van uw leven zult hebben.

    Curaçao heeft veel snorkelplekken

    Het feit dat de zee helder is, is niet de enige reden waarom u zou moeten kiezen voor een snorkelvakantie op Curaçao. Het is ook waar dat Curaçao echt bekend staat om de enorme hoeveelheid locaties om te snorkelen. Doordat er veel verschillende locaties te vinden zijn, is het eigenlijk nooit te druk. Zo kun je je afzonderen en volledig opgaan in de zee om je heen.

    De zee rond Curaçao heeft veel koraal…

    Hoewel vissen leuk zijn om te zien in open zee, is het vooral het koraal waar je in geïnteresseerd bent. De reden dat veel mensen kiezen voor snorkelen op Curaçao is het feit dat je hier nog veel koraal kunt vinden. In tegenstelling tot andere zeeën is het gebied rond het eiland vrijwel onaangetast door de mens. Hier zie je de onderwaterwereld in al zijn glorie.

    Ideaal voor Zakenmensen, Stellen of Geliefden die een pauze nodig hebben

    Ga op een van de snorkeltrips

    Hoewel het mogelijk is om op eigen houtje de zee te verkennen, is het ook een leuk idee om te kiezen voor een snorkeltrip op Curaçao. De belangrijkste reden om te kiezen voor een snorkeltrip op Curacao is het feit dat je op de mooiste plekjes komt die minder bekend zijn bij andere toeristen. Sommige stranden kunnen erg druk zijn, andere zijn idyllisch en u kunt .

    Klein Curaçao is een van de mogelijke bestemmingen van deze snorkeltrips. Dit eiland heeft eigenlijk alles wat het grote Curaçao heeft, het is alleen een stuk rustiger. Dit maakt het snorkelen op Curacao een stuk rustiger.

    Deze reizen zien er over het algemeen hetzelfde uit. Samen met een groep andere toeristen gaat u aan boord van de boot om de zee te verkennen. Onderweg kan worden gestopt bij verschillende mooie snorkelplekken. De plaatselijke bevolking weet je altijd naar de meest unieke locaties te leiden. De hoeveelheid vis en koraal die je hier kunt zien is werkelijk ongekend. Via de website KleinCuracao.Deals kunt u bijvoorbeeld Klein Curacao Snorkeltrips boeken.

    Of ga je duiken?

    Heb je het duiken na een tijdje wel gezien en ben je toe aan iets nieuws dan is dit geen probleem op Curacao. Naast snorkelen is het op Curaçao ook mogelijk om te duiken. Door de vele wrakken op de bodem van de zee is er meer dan genoeg te zien en te ontdekken in de zee. Tijdens de duik is het mogelijk om veel dieper te gaan, zodat je ook andere vissen tegenkomt.

    Het is belangrijk om eerst je PADI licentie te halen. Zonder je duikbrevet is het niet mogelijk om zelfstandig te duiken. Logisch, je wilt veilig kunnen duiken. Hier op de site kun je veel meer informatie vinden over de verschillende PADI cursussen die je kunt volgen voor het duiken op Curacao.

    Beautiful, nice and service-oriented boutique hotel in the heart of Willemstad.To be clear: If you book via Corendon: certainly not a 5* hotel (a good 4 is better). Missing some critical things. But they make up for it with great service!A quick summary of plus and minus pointsPlus:-Location. The heart of Willemstad. In the middle of restored Otrabanda. 15 minutes walk from Nieuwstraat. Nevertheless, very quiet.-Service: employees are super friendly and helpful.-Rooms. Rooms are clean and beds great. Nice shower. Are cleaned every day. And I mean really cleaned.-Nice poolside bar where there is a lot of chatting in the evening.-Adult only. Really nice.Minus:-No beach access. This is not something that you can blame the hotel for, but it is stated differently on the Corendon site. If you want to go to a beach, you will have to arrange that yourself. Otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars for location.-Swimming pool is quite small for 46 rooms. There are approximately 13 beds, so on busy check-out days: do the math.-Breakfast. They have outsourced breakfast to a restaurant nearby (Bario). Not a buffet but a la carte. During our stay we suffered from long waiting times. Kura management then took steps and things improved.-No gym.Extras:-If you stay here, it is wise to arrange a car for at least a few days.-Be informed by the hotel management about where to eat/be etc etc.

It radiates charm and offers a tranquil atmosphere that made my stay even more enjoyable. The staff was welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I would highly recommend Kura Botanica to anyone looking for a cozy and well-maintained boutique hotel in Curacao.

    Hotel with a beautiful garden, in the middle of a historic village. The service from the staff has always been friendly and multilingual. The room we stayed in was new and the bed was excellent!However, some problems were observed. They didn't replace the amenities for our last night, nor did they even collect a towel that was on the floor.The shower is also not separated from the rest of the bathroom, there is no curtain or shower stall which makes the bathroom wet. There was also a lack of support for soap and shampoo, which are on the floor.The parking lot is far away and you need to either walk with your bags or take your car close to the entrance and then return to the parking lot.But the worst thing for me was the breakfast. it is served in another hotel and there is no variety, it doesn't change between days, it is very simple and contained. You can just have a coffee and a juice and not repeat it. On the first day we were treated very poorly, even harshly, which made us not want to go back the next day.

    Great place to stay. Renovated only recently and rooms are excellent. Staff is very helpful and polite. Pool is a bit small but perfect to relax at the end of day. Or whenever you start your day later.Breakfast is in collaboration with a place 1min away and is taken good care off. Choices and taste are overall just good.They did tell Kura B is planning to build their own kitchen in the near future. But the 1min (literally) walk shouldn't trouble you.

    We are locals and wanted a relaxing escape from our usual routine. This place was extremely relaxing, with a beautiful pool surrounded by large trees to provide a great mix of shade and sun. The hotel is very well located with many great restaurants within a few minutes walk. The rooms are very well designed for an authentic Curacao experience. We would highly recommend a stay to both couples as to individuals visiting Curacao.

    I think this is best hotel in Curaçao!It is sweet and charming, the rooms are very clean and well kept. It is comprised of several buildings within the property. Vivid colours both inside and outside of the rooms. Lots of lush foliage and very serene, literally perfect for retreating from busyness and embracing relaxation.It’s tucked in Kura Hulanda village so there’s plenty to do and eat without walking more than 10 minutes but I recommend exploring nearby neighbourhoods like Otrabanda (where the hotel is), Punda and Pietermaai which are all walking distanceWhat’s most memorable is the keen hospitality of the KB team. I felt welcomed throughout the duration of my stay, not just upon arrival. They happily answered every question I had and was consistently kind and helpful.Janette, Teresa, Disney, Darrel, Rosalita, and the young lady w the cute headscarf that complimented my crocs - you guys are amazing!My only regret is leaving such a good review bc now I risk KB not being available when I return!

    Tip! Koop een goede snorkel of huur er een

    De belangrijkste factor die uw plezier tijdens uw Curacao snorkelvakantie zal beïnvloeden is de kwaliteit van de snorkel. Als je een snorkel hebt die niet al te best is, is het echt nodig die te vervangen. Als je dit niet doet, moet je elke keer in je neus peuteren of je bril schoonmaken. Als u geen geschikte snorkelset kunt vinden, is het vaak mogelijk een snorkel te huren bij een van de duikscholen op Curaçao. Met deze optie hoeft u niet met lege handen te gaan.

    Kiest u voor een snorkelvakantie op Curaçao?

    Wij hopen dat de informatie in dit artikel u een beter beeld heeft gegeven van de mogelijkheden die u heeft om te snorkelen op Curaçao. De vele duikcentra maken het ook mogelijk om naast snorkelen te gaan duiken.
