Magical Trip on the Mermaid to Klein Curacao. - The crew of the Mermaid and their facilities on Klein Curacao are outstanding! Having a shady palapa to retreat to after snorkeling and exploring the island was heaven. Our breakfast and lunch were delicious and plentiful - especially appreciated as we are vegetarian. And seeing how loved and cared for the resident dog and cat are, cemented our impression of this wonderful staff. Thank you for a memorable day.

Highly recommended! - A fantastic day! A few years ago I went to small Curacao with another provider, but if I had to recommend someone I would definitely go with Mermaid. They only have a private beach, toilets, shower, watchtower and very large umbrellas.
On the way there spicy waves. The crew will be ready if you suffer from seasickness. Arriving at the island you can swim or by boat. Good breakfast, delicious bbq lunch, plenty of cots and games for the beach to borrow. You can ask anything and everything is thought of.
Good shoes and sunscreen are a must to take with you.

Incredibly organized, professionally run and FUN - This isn't a party boat. The clientele were mostly adults and mostly non-thong wearing. The crew is young but very professional. Absolutely loved the captain!
If you are having trouble which tour to take to Klein Curaçao, choose this one! They are the only outfit with their own beach house, observation tower, loungers, and thatched roof shaded areas. There is a resident dog who greets the ship with jumps of excitement. There is even a resident cat.😺
Note: this is a solid 1 1/2 hour trip each way. Prepare with Dramamine if needed. Coffee and tea are provided in the morning and delicious fresh fruit on the way back. An extravagant buffet is prepared fresh on the beach And picnic tables are available, so you don't have to hold your food on your lap.
You are going to a preserved natural habitat. There are a ton of crabs, so watch your step.

Unforgettable tour - Simply amazing, a must-see tour for those who go to Curaçao. Klein is the most beautiful beach of all. Take the tour of the Mermaid Trips, because they are the only ones with structure on the island. Breakfast and lunch, which are included in the price, are served on the island in the subsoil, with bathroom, shower and sun loungers. They're the only ones who provide that.

Awesome tour, but just a long day. - The tour was amazing, the water was picture perfect. The food was great, the only issue is that the tour was too long.

on the one hand and on the other - Quiet crossing with about 80 people on board, very nice crew, food was ok to quite good for the possibilities, coffee, tea, cola, sprite, water, O-juice replacement, ice cubes incl.
Where the many hermit crabs and small iguanas come to feed there is quite a lot of junk and garbage lying around. There is a shower which I found positive!
Since this is the only tour provider that offers some sunroofs u sunbeds etc to recommend!
The beach u the water are fantastic!
The corals dead, few fish and we haven't seen any Schildis!
What we found really bad, the unconsumed topped rolls were thrown into the sea for fish feeding, whereupon of course suddenly there were loads of fish! However, from our holidays in Egypt etc. we know that this is not good for the fish at all !
The price-performance ratio is not really balanced.
Otherwise, the tour was quite nice.

Great crew but the trip overall left a bit to be desired - While the crew on the boat were lovely and did their jobs well, this excursion is not for the faint of heart. Several people got seasick on the way to the island, resulting in the crew hosing off the deck and the spray from the hose splashing the other guests in the face.. Mermaid doesn’t have a dock at the island so you have to wait quite awhile before you can get on their smaller boats and be ferried to the island. The breakfast and lunch on the island were okay- nothing amazing but the variety of meats and fresh fruit was nice. Expect to see hermit crabs, lizards, and rats galore while you eat. The island is extremely hot and the walks to the lighthouse and shipwrecks were not super exciting.. while the beaches at the main Mermaid huts were clean and beautiful with turquoise waters, the other side of the island was covered in trash and difficult to walk through. The day is very long and hot and we were exhausted by the time we arrived back. Would definitely recommend a shorter trip to the island if you really want to see Klein Curaçao.

Ehhh, we didn’t love it - If you are staying in a resort and not visiting the local beaches of curaçao you might really enjoy this excursion. We stayed in an Airbnb and had rented a car and loved seeing the different beaches on our on schedule. We did not really enjoy this excursion. You are there the whole day. The boat had what seemed like around 100 people on it. We were in the last group to board and there was NO WHERE to sit for the full hour and a half trip to the island. The staff made no effort to help us. Once you get close to the island, HAVE A PLAN. Have 1 member of your group ready to jump off the boat and swim to shore so that you can get a hut that is close to shore and have shade. People will quickly take them all. No one will help with chairs. We did not care for the lunch. When it’s time to board the boat, have a member of your group swim to the boat to so that you can make sure you have somewhere to sit. No one will care if you end up without a seat. Knowing what we know now, we would not have taken this excursion. Beautiful water, but heads up there are gorgeous beaches all over curaçao!

Dont go if youre brasilian - My family worse experience in Curaçao. Terrible in so many ways.
At first its overrated, takes a long time and the food is average.
The beach is beautifull, but far from the best.
But the worse part is the crew from the Mermeid. They wherent exactaly racists, but absolutely eurocentrists.
I will explain: my family was in 8 people and we got a sun hut at the beachs sand. It had 8 places at the table and not enough sun shadow for us. All of a sudden surged 4 dutchs sitting at the table and smoking. I said the place was already occupied but they ignored and said they accept tho share the place we arived before.
I tried to solve the problem with the crew leader and all he said was “there is enough place for everybody, if you dont like you can move”.
This was a huge lack of respect and prejudice to latins, in favor of their countryman.
So, if youre dutch you may go. Its safe and youll be protected.
If youre latin, as I am brasilian, i really dont recomend.
