Traveling, unfortunately can be very damaging to our fragile ecosystems. Luckily we have compiled a simple list to minimize your footprint while staying in paradise.
What To Pack
REEF SAFE SUNSCREEN
Sadly, recent studies have shown that the active ingredients in sunscreen are contributing to rapid bleaching of our coral reefs, and harming the overall aquatic life. Switching to an ocean-friendly alternative is better for you, and better for our oceans – which means you’ll be able to snorkel over colorful reefs on holiday for years to come!Â
reusable Bottles
Curaçao has one of the best and cleanest tap waters in the world! Instead of wasting plastic bottles, grab insulated stainless steel water bottles. The better quality bottles are double- and triple-walled so your ice-cold water remains that way for up to 24 hours.
Water shoes
Curaçao can be wild and rugged sometimes. Whether you’re jumping from cliffs, or on an outdoor adventure, quick-drying shoes can save your trip from an unplanned excursion to the department store. The best water shoes for travel are comfortable, breathable, and quick to dry.
reusable BAGS
Planning on going grocery shopping on the island? Don’t forget to take your own reusable bag when you go shopping. Plastic bags are SO 20th century and are banned most supermarkets and stores in Curaçao. You can still purchase paper bags if you accidentally forget your bags at home.
