It was VERY blue in the cave. We went during low tide and did not need to swim underneath to get in. Not a lot of fish to see. It was about a 30 minute walk. Bring your phone to have Google maps open to help keep you on the right path because although it is a pretty wide path it is not labeled with signs (until the end) and there are lots of forks. Fun little cliffjump where the entry/exit (there's a rope) to get in/out of water to go to cave.

Alright. We went with “Captain Goodlife.” That’s a good name if it refers to how you feel after getting out of his boat with your life. His daughter is the most competent person in the world. She saved the lives of everyone there, and one guy twice. Captain Goodlife, however, didn’t check his boat in the morning. So he starts w a song on the radio that goes “f*** her” in Spanish, repeatedly. That’s the first time his daughter yelled at him. The second time was when he tried to check the oil and refuel the boat with a lit, unashed cigarette in his mouth. He also omitted how bad the tide was that day. Then, he dropped the anchor unsuccessfully, flagged down two customers that rented kayaks (from him), and paddled back to shore with zero explanation while a tourist had a heat stroke and his daughter managed the lives in his hands. Since the anchor never got… anchored, we were drifting closer and closer to Venezuela, which was pretty freakin scary considering the circumstances. Not only is seeing land again getting less and less likely, now it’s a toss up over whether I’m even welcome on the land I end up on??
Finally, he gets back w a long canoe and asks if anyone wants to continue the tour. Amazingly, three Dutch tourists said yes. I, however, got (some, because he’s a dad and I am not a citizen of curaçao, so I figured I’d take what i got and go before this guy gets weirder). The point is that it’s been enough time that his daughters are probably long gone anyways. Initially, we decided to leave it because the daughter can run that “excursion” with her eyes closed and she lived there. Now, it feels less consequential. So here’s a photo of the dude smoking a cigarette into the engine compartment of a smoking boat with 20 tourists and his daughter on board.

I feel like Captain Googlife hasn't gotten any better or friendlier over the years. We waited for him for more than 45 minutes because he was due to sail at 3 o'clock in the afternoon... After waiting 45 minutes and asking the lady at the bar a few more times for the captain, we left with nothing accomplished. . Zero respect for your customers who can at least let them know that you will not sail for 2 people instead of not showing your face at all. Disappointing, but I don't think we missed much.

Lovely walk and nice experience. A boat with tourists did come by and disrupt the peace, but only for a short time. Continue by walking further south to other beaches. Enjoy!

We rented a kayak through Captain Good Life, we first spoke to him, but the day we wanted to rent it his son was there, he explained everything well, it was half an hour of sailing, it is a bit of a vague company, but the kayak was fine, we could also have a drink afterwards.
There are indeed a lot of small jellyfish at the Blue cave, but they do not sting and we did not have to enter the cave under water, there was a small space between the water and the rocks, but it is wise to take a snorkel and diving goggles with you.
nice experience

Went here as part of a tour. It’s beautiful! Weather conditions were optimal so it was easy to enter from the water. We saw many fish. I’d only go with a tour group and enter from the water not the land.

The girl, daughter of the owner, was very kind. The gentleman is not very pleasant in his dealings. In the bar they serve, the offer is minimal and in the treatment they show no interest in serving.

CAPTAIN GOODLIFE LOCATED IN PLAYA SANTA CRUZ WAS THE BEST MONEY IVE EVER SPENT IN CURACAO! Let me preface this post by saying that my family and I are adventurous, avid free divers who spend a lot of time on the water and bring our own mask, fins, snorkels etc. We rented kayaks from Captain Goodlife for about $40 US each. He was exceptionally helpful and even used a drone to give me an aerial perspective on multiple great dive spots before he let us depart on our kayaks. The first spot we dove from our kayaks was a 60’ wreck in 30’ of water about a 5 minute paddle from Captain Goodlife’s dock. Then, about a half mile further we started drift diving the famous MUSHROOM FOREST dive site. During this dive we tied our kayaks together and took turns descending so we would not become separated from the boats. In multiple spots we also came cross submerged mooring lines tied to bottles beneath the surface. I used a 8’ kayak strap I had brought with me to tie of for longer periods here. The coral and fish life were exceptional. Colorful tangs, jeweled damsels, angelfish, butterfly fish etc, most of the Mushroom Forest we dove was between 30-40’ and crystal clear.
Our final stop was the Blue Room. We arrived at around 12 noon, when no other boats were around, tied up to the mooring buoy and had the dive site to ourselves.
Our entire trip took about three hours and we probably only had to kayak about 1-2 miles each way. Once we returned we had. fantastic lunch of shrimp, lion fish and calamari cooked at Captain Goodlife’s restaurant at the dock. For people who want an easier option, Captain Goodlife runs a great and reasonably priced boat trip to dive the shipwreck and blue room as well.
THANK YOU CAPTAIN GOODLIFE FOR MAKING OUR TRIP TO CURACAO AMAZING!

Mixed reviews. Mixed was also our experience, literally a night and day difference between the two days we spoke to “Capt Goodlife”. We strongly advise against doing business with him.
We came here for a boat trip to the cave, Goodlife was very friendly but indicated that it was not possible to sail for 2 people. Understandable. He recommended going in the morning because there is less wind with a kayak that you can also rent from him.
When we came back a few days later for the kayak, he was a different man, unfriendly, rude, slightly aggressive, no explanation about the kayak, which was placed in the wild surf by his daughter. We stood there looking a bit desperate as to what to do next and asked where exactly we should go, what to do with our belongings, etc. and he angrily rushed downstairs and shouted what we were doing or if we were damaging the boat.
We saw that too and wondered if we really want this for us, the answer was no. Once home we started reading reviews more carefully and we were very happy with our choice. Depending on the wind and water level, this trip is extremely dangerous, especially without proper guidance.

Amazing little spot. Hiked in early morning and there was not a soul in the area. Took maybe 25 minutes to get there but got eaten alive by mosquitoes (so I was quicker than normal). Would likely recommend bug spray in rainy season. Once you get to the top of the rocks it is not immediately clear where to go but continue on down and to the left you will see a small path. The way out has a stub of rebar on the side of the cave mouth to exit.
Very nice spot even in the morning. Lots of sea life and the cave was amazing. Would recommend for sure to those who are competent swimmers.

Yes we are coming in by cruise ship and are trying to decide if we should book excursion for Blue Cave or take taxi to Playa Santa Cruz and use Captain Goodlife. Since his tour is only 90 minutes, we are then taxi to another beach, which might be cost comparable to booking excursion. Any suggestions?? Is there Blue Room excursion you recommend?

DO NOT go to the Captain Goodlife. it is terrible
Rédigé le 19 novembre 2019
We are interested in booking the tour through Adrenaline Tours but am curious what other beaches they stop at, in addition to Blue Cave.
Rédigé le 10 juin 2019
There are a couple of other snorkel spots that are awesome spots and not a lot of other tours visiting. Very enjoyable!
Rédigé le 10 juin 2019
Well I booked the Blue room snorkel and boat trip. After looking on a map of Curacao it shows out Adreline Tour is about 22 miles from the Port dock. Can anyone till me how long it takes to get to their location from the port and if Taxi's are available for hire out front. Thanks

I guess you are coming over by Cruise ship? Usually tour operators collect their guests at the port but you should contact them to confirm this. There are taxis but they can get quiet expensive.

I would so like to take the Blue Room snorkel tour but I do have reservations about my ability. I am a strong swimmer but will be 65 when I visit Curacao in Feb 2018. I have looked at a tide chart to determine when Low tide will be for the day that I am there. Do you think this would be OK for a women/65 to do?

If you are a strong swimmer then yes. It’s a magical experience!

Has anyone taken a good tour that includes the Blue Room?
Rédigé le 12 juillet 2016
I can swim although I get anxious at times (past had near drowning experience) . Not the strongest swimmer but float really well when the panic hits. For those of you who are mediocre swimmers like me, should I pass on this adventure? It does sounds amazing.
