On Curaçao, the live and let live attitude of the Dutch welcomes you to the warm waters of the Caribbean. We're excited to return to the uncrowded far west side of the island, where Bed & Bike Curaçao has renovated the former Kura Hulanda Lodge above Playa Kalki in Westpunt.
Enjoy breakfast each morning, then stroll down to PADI 5-Star Go West Diving and board our private LGBTQ+ dive boat for two morning dives. Return in the afternoon anytime with a buddy for easy shore diving right off the beach, on the "Alice in Wonderland" house reef.
Enjoy lunch next to the dive shop at Castaway Curaçao, or shower at your room and head to Mama Kunuku Gastrobar on the hotel grounds. Local restaurants offer dinner selections. Trip leader Robert Walden will host the two included group dinners.
Curacao's reefs are healthy and protected by the National Curacao Underwater Park, and the Go West dive shop is located right on the beach at Playa Kalki. You'll dive two tanks from our boat for six mornings plus unlimited shore diving with a buddy.
If you've dreamed of getting scuba certified but haven't yet had the opportunity, this is your chance! You can complete the PADI Open Water scuba course on this trip and learn to dive in invitingly clear, warm water. Divers who are already certified can earn their Advanced Open Water qualification here.
