Sea Turtle Snorkel & Grote Knip Beach Escape

Tour details checked August 2026

This trip combines two of the west end's best draws: a guided snorkel where green sea turtles are reliably seen, and a stop at Grote Knip (Playa Kenepa Grandi), the cliff-backed beach that shows up in most Curacao photos. It runs as a small group rather than a big coach tour, which keeps the turtle encounter calmer for the wildlife and for you.

Pro Tip

Grote Knip involves a set of steps down a cliff to reach the sand, worth knowing if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. Morning departures generally mean calmer water for the turtle snorkel.
