You know that feeling when something looks too good to be real, but then it is real? That was me, floating inside the Blue Room Cave on this Private Beach & Snorkeling Tour on Curaçao. Just me, a handful of fish, and the kind of blue that makes you wonder if someone messed with the saturation.

The tour kicked off with a scenic speedboat ride that made me feel like a Bond extra—minus the danger, plus a lot of bottled water and chill vibes.

What is the Blue Room on Curaçao?

The Blue Room is an underwater sea cave known for its glowing blue light, created when sunlight reflects off the water and cave walls—making it one of Curaçao’s most magical snorkeling spots.

Getting there was half the fun. We launched from Caracas Bay and cruised past some of the island’s best beaches—Jan Thiel, Kokomo, Cas Abao—you name it, we passed it. No need to stop at every beach when you're zipping along the coast with that salty breeze in your face and your own private captain at the helm.

And then... the Blue Room. The guides gave us a quick safety rundown (bless them), and we jumped into the bluest water I’ve ever seen. Inside the cave, everything shimmered. Fish darted around like underwater confetti, and the rock walls looked like something out of a fantasy movie. If you’ve got a waterproof phone case—bring it.

Is this private beach tour suitable on Curaçao for beginners?

Yes, this private tour is beginner-friendly, with snorkeling gear included and a guided introduction before entering the Blue Room.

After we swam out of the cave, the boat took us to one of those beaches you see on screensavers. I could snorkel some more or just chill on the sand—and trust me, I did both. Light lunch included, legs in the water, zero stress. Perfection.

The best kind of Curaçao day

This tour isn’t just about the Blue Room (though that’s reason enough). It’s about getting out on the water, seeing a side of Curaçao you can’t reach by car, and doing it all on your own time, without 30 other people in matching life vests.

I absolutely loved this day—if you’re into clear water, secret caves and a dose of ocean freedom, I’d definitely recommend booking this tour through the link below.
