What To Expect
Daaibooi Beach
Your journey begins at the tranquil and scenic Playa Daaibooi, a local gem known for its calm waters and natural beauty. Here, you'll be greeted by our friendly, knowledgeable crew, ready to make your experience unforgettable. Before boarding, keep your eyes on the shoreline—you might spot sea turtles gracefully resting in the shallows, a frequent and magical sight unique to this beach. Following a brief but thorough safety orientation, you'll step aboard the Clearboat, our custom-built glass-bottom vessel. Settle in, get comfortable, and prepare to cruise Curaçao’s stunning coastline in style, with nature unfolding right beneath your feet.
Playa Porto Marie
Once you depart Playa Daaibooi, your adventure continues along one of Curaçao’s most breathtaking stretches of coastline. Glide past Porto Mari Beach, famous for its turquoise waters and thriving reef ecosystem. As you cruise further, discover the serenity of Playa Hunku—a secluded, private beach surrounded by lush, untouched nature. Throughout the journey, marvel at the colorful coral reefs and tropical fish visible directly beneath your feet through the boat’s fully transparent floor—a true underwater show, no diving gear needed. Don’t forget to look up and around! The coastline is dotted with hidden coves, and you may spot seabirds, turtles, or even secret coves.

Extremely disappointed

1.00Of everything we did in Curaçao, this company disappointed me the most. My friend and I were running a few minutes late so we called the number provided to inform them. No answer. I messaged through the Viator app and also on WhatsApp, still no answer. Once we reached the beach, it was clear that they had already left, and there still was no one to communicate with. We decided to stay and wait so we could at least speak with someone and that was a long wait considering the tour had just begun. Once they returned, we spoke with the three men who I am assuming are the owners and they did not do well in trying to rectify the situation. First, they offered the next “available“ tour, which was the following Tuesday but we weren’t staying that long. Available is in quotations because there was a tour available the following day, but since no one booked it yet, our party of 2 would not only have to rebook the tour, but would have to pay the amount of 4 people for them to even come back out. This didn’t make sense because if two people booked a slot, and on the day of it didn’t reach the required four person minimum, which I don’t see anywhere on the booking site, would they reach out to this party to pay more? Granted, I take accountability for the fact that we were running late. However, there was a lack of communication available from the company prior to the start of the tour. Even if there wasn’t a way to get us rebooked, it could’ve allowed us to leave instead of waiting an hour and a half to speak with someone. It seemed like it could’ve been a great tour, but at the end of the day, it also seemed like a big money grab. Extremely disappointed.
Had a great day

5.00Group of 7 adults took this trip over Christmas holiday. Clear boat experience was amazing - saw turtles, various types of coral, fish of all sizes, and even scuba divers under us! Halfway through we stopped to snorkel at Cas Abao beach and enjoyed pastechis and soda/water/juice provided by our guides. Both captain and mate were friendly, accommodating, entertaining and very informative- mate swam under the clear boat to feed the fish ha! - captain provided interesting facts and stories about the island along the way. After the trip we lingered at Daaibooi beach a bit longer to do more snorkeling and enjoy the beach. I highly recommend including a Clearboat excursion to your Curacao vacation!
It felt magical and unreal

5.00This experience exceeded all expectations. Swimming in crystal-clear water, then watching colorful fish and stunning corals beneath the clear bottom of the boat, was incredible. I’ve honestly never seen anything like this in real life. Truly unique and memorable.
So great. Beautiful view of the south side of the island
