The landmarks, rooms, and views travelers on this tour remember — all visible on a single visit.

The Fishing Pier

The pier is used by local fishermen to clean their catch, which creates the perfect environment for turtles to gather close to shore. This is the main focal point for those participating in a viator swimming with turtles curacao tour.

The Turtle Feeding Zone

The waters immediately surrounding the pier are the primary habitat for resident green sea turtles. Visitors can observe these animals in their natural environment without the need for complex gear.

The Rocky Entry Path

This narrow path leads from the upper parking area down to the sand. It serves as the main gateway to the water for the majority of visitors.

The Coastal Cliffside

The beach is framed by high limestone cliffs that provide a dramatic backdrop for the marine environment. These formations are characteristic of the northern Curaçao coastline.

The Shallow Sandbank

The sandy area near the water's edge provides a safe entry point once you navigate the initial rocks. It is an ideal spot for preparing snorkeling equipment before heading out to deeper water.
