Looking for a fun, easy and quiet way to explore the Caracasbaai peninsula on the east side of the island? Hop on an electric scooter (seated, with chunky tires) and follow a local guide from one viewpoint to the next.
The tour is run by Eco Cruise Curaçao from Jan Thiel and is rated 4.8/5 from 160 reviews on GetYourGuide. Travelers love the guides, how easy the scooters are to ride and the photo stops.
In 1h45 you’ll see an old fort, a shipwreck, a historic building and stunning sea views. Perfect for a morning or a late-afternoon outing 👇
- Who can join?
- Adults must show a driver’s license or photo ID (paper or digital).
- 14–17 year-olds can ride their own scooter if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- The tour is not open to children under 5, pregnant women, or anyone with back or heart problems.
- No experience needed: the scooters are quick to master and there’s a briefing before you set off.
Before you book: mind your footwear!
Flip-flops, sandals and bare feet aren't allowed: wear sneakers or closed-toe shoes. And it's not a swimming trip – leave your swimsuit at home, or save it for Jan Thiel beach right afterwards!
- What nobody else will tell you:
Same rule as always: full transparency, so you’re not disappointed. Here’s what you should know:
🚗 Transport isn’t included: you meet at the Eco Cruise office at the entrance to Jan Thiel beach. No car? Get in touch at least 24 hours in advance and they’ll try to help.
📸 Free photos… but not always fast: the tour photos are sent via WeTransfer. A few travelers found they took a while to arrive, so don’t hesitate to send a reminder.
🎒 Travel light: no big bags – a small backpack or a fanny pack is plenty.
🗣️ English-speaking guide: your guide explains each stop in English, and the commentary is easy to follow.
🏍️ It’s not a kick scooter: you sit on a proper electric scooter with big wheels – stable and comfortable – rather than standing on a stand-up scooter.
☀️ Protect yourself from the sun: sunscreen isn’t provided (it’s for sale on site). A hat won’t fit under the helmet, so rely on sunscreen and sunglasses instead.
⭐ Much-loved guides: friendly, knowledgeable and great photographers – that’s what comes up most in the reviews.
- The route
💺 The “Love Seat”: your first stop, with a sweeping view over Caracasbaai bay and the whole peninsula.
