Curacao Clear Kayak Photoshoot + FREE Videoshoot,Cocktails,Shots!

A clear kayak, a drone, and Curaçao’s bright coastal water make this a memorable way to mark a birthday, engagement, solo trip, or simple island escape. The shoot is private, so your group gets the attention of the posing assistant and photographer instead of sharing the session with strangers.

I especially like the fast next-day delivery and the care taken with posing and safety. Javier and Frank are praised for calm guidance, while John is noted for giving clear direction. The two cocktails, one rum or tequila shot, and bottled water add a festive touch.

The main caution is timing. The listed session lasts about 30 minutes, but setup, posing, weather, and drone arrival can stretch the visit. Also, confirm exactly what is included with flowers, fruit, transportation, and edited images before you go.

Key points to know before booking

• Your own private session: Only your group participates, making this a better choice for couples, birthdays, and solo portraits.
• Aerial photography included: A drone captures the kayak from above, with close and wider images among the delivered files.
• Guided posing helps: Staff explain how to enter the kayak, where to sit, and how to position your body.
• Fast digital delivery: You receive more than 40 photos and videos the next day, plus three free pictures and one edited video.
• Drinks are part of the visit: Two cocktails, one rum or tequila shot, and bottled water are included.
• The session is short: Plan on roughly 30 minutes in the kayak, with possible extra time for preparation and weather delays.

A clear kayak makes the photo session different

Many beach photos look alike: feet in the sand, a palm tree in the background, and a quick smile at the camera. This Curaçao session gives you a more unusual subject. You pose inside a transparent kayak while the drone photographs the boat against the water below.

That clear hull is the whole point. It gives the finished images a floating, open-water look, even though the staff is close by helping you. You are not left to figure out the poses alone. The team gives instructions for getting into the kayak and arranging your arms, legs, and body.

That help matters more than it may sound. A wet kayak can be slippery, and an awkward pose shows quickly in a photo. The staff has been praised for patience, clear directions, and keeping people steady as they get in and out. If you are nervous around water or simply do not know what to do with your hands, this direction is a real part of the value.

You can request up to four poses, according to the session details and customer feedback. That gives you some variety, but it also means you should think ahead about the look you want. A solo portrait, a romantic pose, and a playful celebration photo call for different choices.

What happens at the Sint Michiel meeting point

The listed starting point is Clear Kayak photoshoot, 18 Canoaweg, Sint Michiel, Curaçao. The activity returns to this same meeting point. A mobile ticket is provided, and confirmation arrives at booking.

Pickup is offered in the general tour information, but private transportation is also listed as not included. Treat that as something to confirm directly with Dushi Views rather than something guaranteed in the base price. One customer specifically described transport from a hotel, but the written inclusions do not promise it for every booking.

Arrive at least 15 minutes early. That advice is practical because the shoot is short, and you want your time used for photographs rather than finding the location or getting ready. One customer was told to come prepared to start immediately, so wear the outfit you want photographed and keep last-minute changes simple.

The surrounding area may not feel polished or resort-like. One person found the location a little sketchy, while others enjoyed the beach setting, music, swings, and water. Set your expectations correctly: this is a working photoshoot location, not a full-day beach club visit.

Getting into the kayak and choosing your poses

The staff helps you enter the kayak and holds it steady. That assistance is especially useful for anyone who does not swim confidently. One customer who could not swim said the team took good care of her, and several others described feeling safe and supported.

Still, you are participating at your own risk. The operator states that it is not liable for incidents or damage during the activity. Listen closely to the staff, move slowly, and tell them if you feel uncomfortable. The listed weight limit is 250 pounds per person.

The posing process is directed rather than spontaneous. You may be asked to adjust your shoulders, turn your face, extend a leg, or change your hand position. This is good news if you want polished images and do not already know how to pose.

You can also bring a theme into the session. Flowers may be added to decorate the kayak, and a tropical fruit plate is mentioned as part of the experience details. The information is not fully consistent about whether fruit and flowers are included or optional add-ons, so clarify the arrangement when booking.

That point is worth taking seriously. One unhappy customer wanted flowers in every pose but followed the staff suggestion to use them for only two poses. The result did not match her hopes. If the flowers matter to you, say so before the shoot and ask for them in every image you want decorated.

Drone photos and the final collection

Drone photography gives you the overhead angle that a person standing on shore cannot easily produce. You should expect a mix of closer images and wider shots. The wider frames show more water and setting, while the closer photos put the focus on your face, clothing, and pose.

The package lists 40-plus photos and videos, along with three free pictures and one video edit. The wording suggests a large collection of digital material, with a smaller number of selected or specially edited items. Ask how the selection process works before you pose if you want control over the final three photographs.

This matters because one customer found some images too distant and had difficulty choosing the three included pictures. The operator responded that most images were close-up, with some wider options. The practical lesson is simple: tell the photographer early if you prefer close portraits, full-body frames, or wide overhead shots.

The team may show previews during or after the session. One person saw images that looked stunning, while another felt the paid-for results did not match the photos taken by family from the side. Photography is subjective, and drone angle, light, weather, and pose all affect the result. Clear communication is your best protection.

Delivery is a strong point. The advertised turnaround is the next day, and several customers received their photographs and edits quickly. That is useful if you are still on Curaçao and want to share the images during your trip, or if you are booking close to a birthday or anniversary.

Cocktails, snacks, and the celebratory side

The package includes two cocktails, one free shot of rum or tequila, and bottled water. Drinks are not the main reason to book, but they give the short session a relaxed, festive finish. Javier receives particular praise as a bartender and for being welcoming and helpful beyond the basic appointment.

A complimentary plate of fresh tropical fruit is highlighted in the main details. Elsewhere, fruit is described as something you can add, along with flowers for decorating the kayak. Since those statements differ, confirm the exact food arrangement and any extra cost before arriving.

Hookah is also mentioned in the customer feedback, including VIP hookah service, but it is not listed among the standard inclusions. Do not assume it comes with the $175 package. Ask Dushi Views if you want it added.

Music, drinks, fruit, and the nearby beach details can make the visit feel more like a small celebration than a strictly technical photo appointment. Still, keep the scale in mind. This is a short shoot, not a long afternoon of lounging, swimming, and dining.

Is $175 a fair price?

At $175 per person, this is not a bargain photo taken on a phone. You are paying for a private session, a clear kayak, an assistant, drone work, video, editing, drinks, and quick delivery. For a couple marking an engagement or anniversary, the price can make sense because the images serve as both an activity and a keepsake.

The value is strongest if you care about professional direction and an unusual setting. A person who already has a friend with a good camera may prefer a cheaper beach session. But that friend is unlikely to provide a transparent kayak, an aerial drone angle, posing help, cocktails, and next-day delivery in one short appointment.

Solo visitors can also get good value from this experience. The staff directs the poses, so you do not need a partner to create polished pictures. One solo customer described the session as a highlight of her first solo vacation, and that matches the design of the activity: you get individual attention rather than being left to arrange your own shot.

For a group, calculate the total carefully. Because the price is per person, the cost rises quickly as your party grows. The private format may still be worthwhile for a birthday group or engagement session, but ask how many people can participate and how the poses are divided.

Timing, weather, and practical comfort

The advertised duration is about 30 minutes. That is enough for a focused photo session, but it is not enough for a slow, unplanned beach outing. Arrive ready, keep your phone and belongings organized, and allow extra time in your day in case the setup takes longer.

One session was delayed when rain passed through and the drone operator arrived after the scheduled time. The weather cleared, but the delay affected the appointment. The operator requires good weather and offers a new date or full refund if poor conditions cancel the activity.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes inside 24 hours are not refunded or accepted. Since wind and rain can affect drone work, do not schedule this immediately before an important flight or cruise departure.

Wear something you are comfortable getting wet in. The kayak and surrounding equipment may be slippery when wet, and the staff directs you through the entry process. The data says most people can participate, but you should consider the 250-pound per-person limit and tell the team about any concern that could affect your comfort in the kayak.

Who will enjoy this most

I would put this near the top of the list for couples taking engagement or anniversary pictures. The private setup, flowers, cocktails, and overhead photography are well suited to a planned celebration.

It also fits birthdays, solo trips, and anyone who wants a polished social media set without spending hours at a studio. The team’s patient direction is helpful if posing feels awkward. You can arrive with no photography experience and still receive clear instructions.

It is less suitable if you want a long water activity. You will not spend hours paddling around, exploring the coast, or swimming from the kayak. The kayak functions as a photo prop and platform, not as a full sightseeing excursion.

It may also disappoint you if you expect every image to be a close portrait or if you want complete control of the artistic style. Tell the photographer your priorities before the drone starts. Ask for close, wide, full-body, or decorated shots as needed.

Should you book the Dushi Views session?

Book it if you want a private, highly directed photo experience with an unusual Curaçao setting. The strongest reasons are the clear kayak, aerial images, helpful posing staff, next-day delivery, and included drinks. Javier, Frank, and John are each associated with the kind of personal guidance this session needs, though the staff member on your date may differ.

I would not book it as a substitute for a full beach day or a long kayak tour. The session is short, the price is significant, and the final photographs depend on weather, drone angles, and communication about your preferred poses.

Before paying, confirm pickup, fruit, flowers, hookah, the number of edited images, and how pose selection works. Arrive early and decide which four looks matter most. If you do that, this can put a distinctive finish on a Curaçao birthday, engagement, or solo adventure.
