Curacao Clear Kayak Photoshoot + FREE Videoshoot,Cocktails,Shots!
The main attraction here is simple and hard to duplicate: you pose on a transparent kayak in Curaçao’s blue water while a drone photographs you from above. The setup is made for polished birthday, couple, engagement, and solo-trip pictures, not for a long paddle or a sightseeing cruise.
I like the private format, since your group gets the attention of the posing team rather than sharing the session with strangers. I also like the quick delivery promise: you get 40-plus photos and videos the next day, along with three free pictures and one edited video. The two cocktails, rum or tequila shot, and fruit plate add a festive touch.
The main caution is the short schedule. The session is advertised at about 30 minutes, and you need to arrive ready to start. Weather can interfere, the kayak may feel slippery when wet, and the final images depend partly on how well you communicate about poses, flowers, and the shots you want.
Key points before you book

- Drone photos and video from above: The aerial angle gives you the signature clear-kayak look, with close and wider images to choose from.
- Private 30-minute session: Only your group participates, making this a better fit for couples, birthdays, engagements, and solo portraits.
- Fast digital delivery: Expect 40-plus photos and videos the next day, plus three free pictures and one edited video.
- Drinks included: The package includes two cocktails, one rum or tequila shot, and bottled water.
- Friendly pose direction: Javier, Frank, and John are named by customers as helpful members of the team, with staff guiding you into the kayak and through each pose.
- 250-pound per-person limit: Check this requirement carefully before booking, especially if your group plans to share the kayak setup.
A 30-minute photo session with a very clear subject

This is a photoshoot first and a water activity second. You are not booking a long kayak outing around Curaçao. You are booking a short, directed session built around a clear kayak, attractive water, and aerial photography.
At the meeting point, 18 Canoaweg in Sint Michiel, the team gets you ready for the shoot. The staff explains how to enter the kayak, helps keep it steady, and directs your body position. That guidance matters because getting into a wet, clear boat can be awkward, and the best images usually depend on small adjustments to your posture, hands, legs, and face.
The team may offer up to four poses, depending on the arrangement you choose. This is useful to know before you arrive. A half-hour sounds relaxed, but the clock moves quickly when you are changing positions, checking the setup, and preparing for drone shots.
I would arrive at least 15 minutes early. One customer specifically advised being ready to begin right away, and that is sensible here. Bring the outfit you want photographed, know whether you want flowers or fruit in the kayak, and avoid treating the first few minutes as casual preparation time.

Why the drone angle changes the pictures

A regular beach portrait can look good, but a drone adds the feature that makes this package different. From above, the transparent kayak becomes part of the composition, and the water gives the picture a strong Caribbean setting without requiring a long excursion.
You can expect a mix of closer images and wider shots. The closer frames are likely to be more useful for profile pictures and portraits, while wider photos show the boat, water, and setting together. One unhappy customer felt too many chosen images were distant, so I would ask the team to explain which photos will be close, which will be wide, and how many final selections you receive.
The package includes 40-plus photos and videos, but that does not mean every image will be a finished, high-end edit. You also receive three free pictures and one edited video. For the best result, use the WhatsApp contact provided by Dushi Views to ask about edits and clarify your preferences.
That communication is especially important if you add flowers. The flower option can change the color and feel of the photos, but one customer regretted using flowers for only two of four poses. If flowers matter to you, say clearly that you want them included in every pose, if the setup allows it. This is a small point that can make a large difference in the final gallery.
Entering the clear kayak and working with the staff

The team’s job is not only to take pictures. They also help you get into the kayak, hold it steady, keep you comfortable, and explain what to do. Several experiences specifically praised the patience and clear instructions of the staff, including Javier and Frank. John was also singled out for strong pose direction.
That makes this a reasonable choice if you feel nervous in the water or are not confident with posing. One solo customer appreciated being treated comfortably despite arriving alone. Another person who could not swim said the staff took good care of her. The activity information does not promise swimming instruction or a substitute for personal water safety, but the staff does provide hands-on guidance during the session.
You should still understand that the kayak can be slippery when wet. Move slowly, follow the instructions, and avoid rushing to sit or stand. You are responsible for taking part at your own risk, and Dushi Views is not liable for incidents or damage during the excursion.
The private format helps here. Your group receives the team’s attention, rather than waiting for a large class to finish. It also gives you more privacy for romantic, birthday, or solo portraits.
Cocktails, fruit, and the festive extras

The included drinks help turn a short photography appointment into a small celebration. You receive two cocktails, one rum or tequila shot, bottled water, and a complimentary plate of fresh fruit. Some people also add flowers or a tropical fruit plate to decorate the kayak.
The drinks are a nice bonus, but I would not choose this activity mainly for the bar service. The photos are the reason to book. The cocktails work best as a welcome and a relaxed finish after the water portion, particularly for a birthday or couple’s session.
Some experiences also mention hookah or VIP hookah service, but it is not listed among the standard inclusions. Treat that as an optional extra and confirm the cost before you arrive. The same applies to flowers and upgraded decorations.
If you plan to drink, remember that you still need to enter and pose in the kayak. Have the photography finished before consuming more than the included serving, and follow the crew’s instructions around the water.

What you receive the next day

Fast delivery is one of the strongest practical features of this package. The advertised delivery includes 40-plus pictures and videos the next day, three free pictures, and one video edit. That is far more useful than waiting until the end of a long vacation to see whether the files arrived.
Next-day delivery also gives you time to check the images while your Curaçao memories are fresh. Use the supplied WhatsApp number for updates on edits. If you have a particular preference, such as more close-up portraits, flowers in every pose, or a stronger focus on the couple rather than the kayak, communicate it early.
Do not assume every image will look identical to the promotional examples. Light, clouds, water conditions, your clothing, and the drone’s position all affect the result. The aerial photos are the point of the session, but they also mean you have less control over the camera than with a standard portrait shoot.
I would also ask how the 40-plus files are divided between still images and videos. The package promises both, but the exact split is not stated. The three free pictures and one edited video are clearly identified, so confirm what is included if you want a specific number of edited files.
Is $175 a fair price?

At $175 per person, this is not a cheap casual beach activity. Its value depends on how much you would otherwise spend on professional photography, drone work, transportation, drinks, and a private setting.
For a couple, engagement session, birthday, or solo trip built around strong social-media or keepsake images, the price can make sense. You receive a private shoot, drone photography, drone video, drinks, fast delivery, and staff assistance. The 40-plus photos and videos also give you more choice than a single posed snapshot.
The value is weaker if you only want a few quick pictures or if you dislike being directed. The session is short, and the price is tied to the production setup. You are paying for the crew, drone, kayak, preparation, posing help, editing, and delivery, not simply access to the water.
Pickup is offered in the general tour information, but private transportation is not included. Since the meeting point is 18 Canoaweg in Sint Michiel, confirm exactly where pickup applies and whether it costs extra. The activity is near public transportation, but the information does not promise a complimentary shuttle for every booking.
Weather, timing, and the setting

This experience requires good weather. If poor conditions cancel the session, you can choose another date or receive a full refund. That policy is helpful, but you still need flexibility in your holiday schedule.
Rain may pass quickly, yet a delay can affect the drone and the light. One session was delayed because the drone operator arrived after the scheduled start, so I would not book this immediately before a cruise departure, airport transfer, dinner reservation, or another fixed appointment. The package is listed as 30 minutes, but a careful shoot can run longer.
The setting around the meeting point may not feel polished from every direction. One customer found the location a bit questionable, while other experiences praised the blue water, beach atmosphere, and nearby photo opportunities. Keep your expectations focused on the kayak setup and the resulting images rather than a full resort-style venue.
If you have time, you might find additional places nearby for phone photos, including water and swing areas mentioned by one customer. Those extras are not part of the formal package, so consider them a bonus rather than a promised stop.
Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this to you if you want a planned visual souvenir rather than a long day on the water. It suits:
- Couples taking engagement or anniversary pictures
- Birthday celebrations
- Solo visitors marking a first trip or personal milestone
- People who want professional guidance with posing
- Small groups looking for a private session
- Anyone comfortable with a short, directed activity
It may not suit you if you want a traditional kayak tour, snorkeling, a long time on the water, or complete control over the camera. It also deserves extra thought if you dislike wet surfaces, have concerns about entering a kayak, or are close to the 250-pound per-person limit.
This is also a better match for someone willing to speak up. Tell the crew what you want, especially about flowers, close-up photos, solo poses, couple poses, and the final edit. The staff appears ready to help, but clear requests give them a better chance to produce the images you have in mind.
Booking, cancellation, and practical details
You receive confirmation when you book. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations or changes made within 24 hours are not refunded or accepted.
The activity ends back at the meeting point. Most people can participate, and the location is near public transportation. The stated weight limit is 250 pounds per person.
Bring a phone if you want extra personal pictures, but do not let that distract from the paid shoot. Wear something that photographs well when wet, arrive early, and be ready to follow directions as soon as your session begins.
Should you book the Curaçao clear kayak photoshoot?
Book it if the photos are the heart of your Curaçao plans. The combination of a transparent kayak, drone angles, private attention, pose direction, drinks, and next-day delivery gives you a focused way to mark a birthday, engagement, solo trip, or romantic holiday.
I would skip it if you are seeking a full water excursion or a low-cost activity with no production schedule. Before paying, confirm pickup, the price of any flowers or hookah, the number of close-up images, and how you want decorations used. With those details settled, this can be a memorable half-hour and a useful set of vacation images rather than just another beach stop.
