Whatever you’re looking for, Curaçao promises you a magnificent travel experience.

Best Time For Diving Holiday To Curacao

Located in the tropics, just 12° north of the Equator, Curaçao has a warm, sunny climate year round. The average temperature is about 27° C (in the mid 80s F). Cooling trade winds blow constantly from the east, picking up in the spring months. The rainy season, which is between October and February, is usually marked by short, occasional showers, mostly at night, and continued sunny weather during the day. Total annual rainfall averages only 570 mm (22 inches).

With no more than three degree's difference between average summer and winter air temperature and very low annual rainfall, the main factor affecting diving in Curaçao is the wind. The trade winds blow year-round, but are highest from January through April. The best dive months are June through November. Very little diving is done on Curaçao's north coast because of rough seas. However, for short periods between August and December, the water is calm enough to allow diving.

Things To Do In Curacao

Dancing, jazz, island music, tropical libations and Karaoke: You will find this and more in Curacao entertainment. For a complete list of entertainment while you are there, be sure to pick up a K-Pasa Entertainment Guide.

Escape to the Caribbean’s hidden treasure. Fall in love with world-class diving and beaches, invigorating outdoor adventure, and vibrant Curacao nightlife.

Curaçao has been a major trade center for hundreds of years, so it's not surprising that stores are stocked with quality items from around the world. Stroll amidst exquisite, centuries-old buildings while ocean liners cruise up the channel cutting through the city, so close you could almost touch them. All this makes the Curacao shopping ambiance very special.

Suggested tour

Bonaire + Amsterdam

From £2,450 pp

If you are going on a holiday to any of the Dutch Antilles Islands, including Bonaire, flying from Europe, you will most likely be travelling via Amsterdam. It is very easy for us to incorporate a stop in this marvellous city, perhaps for 2 - 3 nights. Most clients prefer to do this on the return journey, but either way is possible. We have a range of beautiful 4 and 5-star properties in the city to choose from, all very carefully selected.

Booking Curacao with us

We lose sleep so you don’t.

We take every booking personally. Anything that doesn’t look right, anything that needs chasing — we’re the ones awake worrying about it, so you’re not.

Your money goes into trust

Not into our bank account. It sits with an independent trustee and is only released after you have travelled. If we stopped trading tomorrow it would still be there, and it would come back to you.

We book it all, and then check it

Flights, transfers, the room you actually chose, your diving. Confirmed before you fly, not arranged when you land. We don’t book the cheapest transfer — drivers who turn up and speak English.

We call you before you go

Documents, visas, kit, anything you’re unsure about. A real conversation with the person who booked it, not an automated reminder.

We’re on WhatsApp the whole time you’re away

Any hour, any country. Flight moved, room not right, diving cancelled for weather — one number, answered by someone who already knows your booking.

No obligation. We’ll come back with a full itinerary and a price.
