Curacao Bucket List - June 2025 - Shete Boka Park

Shete Boka Natural Park... Curaçao ’s Untamed Edge

The park’s main walking trail forms a well-marked coastal loop of roughly 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles), making it an accessible and rewarding walk for most visitors. The route links several of the key bokas, including Boka Tabla, Boka Wandomi and Boka Pistol and takes about 45–60 minutes at a relaxed pace, depending on how often you stop to soak in the views. The terrain varies from sandy paths to jagged limestone, so sturdy footwear is recommended. Along the way, you’ll encounter natural stone bridges, blowholes and elevated lookouts perfect for photos or just catching your breath. It’s a walk shaped by wind and sea, where every turn reveals something unexpected.
