The experience
You start at Caracasbay and follow your guide across the Caribbean on a jet ski of your own, heading toward Spanish Water: the most exclusive area of Curacao, lined with luxury homes, yachts and uninhabited islands. Along the way you pass Fort Beekenburg, built in 1703 to guard the inner bay, and the Quarantine House, an old manor that once served as a quarantine hospital. The ride itself is 45 minutes. Before you launch, you get a 15-minute briefing and a chance to test the ski so you're comfortable with the controls.
If you book the snorkel option, the second half of the tour takes you back along the coast with a guide and snorkel set in hand. The sandbanks near Caracasbay are where sea turtles rest, so there's a real chance to see them in the water alongside the corals and fish. After the snorkel session, you have time to relax on the beach before heading back.
A life vest is provided, and your guide speaks English, Spanish or Dutch. The tour runs 1 to 2 hours depending on conditions and your choice of add-ons. Bring your credit card and ID. The operator keeps copies as a deposit and returns them when you're back.
Is this one for you?Book the jet ski and snorkel combo if you want both the thrill of piloting your own ski and the chance to see turtles and corals underwater. Choose jet ski only if you prefer to stay on the water without the snorkel portion. Pickup is available for an additional fee. Contact the operator to arrange it.

Live guide in English, Spanish and Dutch.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What is Spanish Water like when I get there on the jet ski?
Spanish Water is Curacao's most exclusive area, known for its luxury homes, moored yachts and small uninhabited islands scattered across the lagoon. It's the destination point of the ride, giving you a chance to see the landscape up close from the water.
Do I ride alone or share a jet ski with someone else?
That depends on which option you book. You can book a single jet ski for one person, or a two-person jet ski for two adults. If you choose the two-person option, both riders share one ski. If you want individual skis, book two single-ski spots.
What happens if I book the snorkel add-on?
After the jet ski ride, you return to the coast and go snorkeling with a guide and snorkel set. You'll explore the reefs and fish along the shoreline, and the sandbanks near Caracasbay where sea turtles rest give you a chance to see them in the water. The session ends with time to relax on the beach.
What is Fort Beekenburg and why do we pass it?
Fort Beekenburg was built in 1703 to protect the inner bay and is one of the historic landmarks you see from the water as you ride toward Spanish Water. It's part of Curacao's colonial history and sits along the route your guide takes.
How much time do I actually spend riding the jet ski?
The jet ski ride itself is 45 minutes. Before that, you get a 15-minute briefing and test drive to learn the controls, so plan on about an hour for the riding portion of the tour.
