Discovering the Tafelberg

The Majestic Tafelberg

Situated in the southeastern part of Curaçao, near Santa Barbara Beach, the Tafelberg mesa rises to an impressive 196.1 meters (643 feet), making it the fourth-highest point on the island. This iconic mountain stands out against the flat landscape around Spanish Waters Bay, creating a distinctive silhouette with its jagged peak and flat plateau.

A Historical Landmark

The Tafelberg is located on the historic Santa Barbara Plantation, which dates back to the 16th century. Covering an area of about 1200 hectares, the plantation adds a touch of historical significance to the natural beauty of the Tafelberg, making it a must-visit destination for history buffs and nature enthusiasts alike.

The Full Moon Hike Experience

A Journey to Remember

Hiking the Tafelberg under the full moon is an unforgettable experience. As you ascend, you’ll witness the breathtaking sunset from the Proa viewing point on top of the mountain. The vibrant colors of the sunset blend seamlessly with the serene light of the full moon, creating a mesmerizing panorama.

Essential Gear and Recommendations

Headlamp: Every participant is required to carry a headlamp. If you don’t have one, you can borrow one from the organizers by providing a driver’s license or an ID as a guarantee.
Footwear: Old sneakers are recommended, but if you have hiking shoes, they are even better for this trek.
Backpack: Bring a backpack to carry your water bottles and other essentials, as carrying items in your hands can be cumbersome during the hike.
Refreshments: While cold beverages are available for purchase at the shop, you are welcome to bring your own. Don’t forget to pack a snack to keep your energy levels up.

Important Logistics

Parking: If the parking lot in front of the shop is full, additional parking is available at a larger lot on the other side.
Timing: Adhere to the strict schedule for sunset departure. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled departure to ensure ample time for registration and group assignments.

We bought the day pass without gear rental and had a great experience, the climbing at the isla walls was awesome, we did a range of 5.8-11d and they ranged from good climbs to some of the best rock climbs I’ve done. Sergio and his brother were both friendly and super helpful and knew a lot about the area and showed us some great climbs with a very reasonable approach. Highly recommend mixing climbing into your vacation, this was a remarkable wall and area- worth coming to Curacao to climb this area. They were super responsive on WhatsApp- the whole thing was easy.

We did a full climbing day in the morning and had a great experience.

As climbers with prior outdoor experience we've definitely appreciated the professional and safety-minded service. Our guide was very fun to climb with, and he took extra efforts to show us different parts of the crag and match routes to our ability level.

There is a very good selection of routes, from beginner-friendly all the way up to mid-high grades. We mostly did top-rope, but led some easier routes as well. The bolt spacing here is very pleasant - mostly with low first clips and rarely runout. Most gear is pretty new, but no mossy hooks.
The rock itself is limestone, so there are a lot of fun features. Many faces were in the shade, so it was surprisingly nice temperature-wise.

Overall I definitely recommend this place. As someone who mostly climbs without guides I initially had my reservations, but it definitely did not feel like a "learn to climb" trip. Though I assume they do a good job with beginners too.

The hiking is good, beautiful view, I went to see the sunset, I think the level is 3/5. I took 1 1/2 hours to the top.
Perhaps the company isn’t oriented to customers, and their answers are very late, I was there on 11-06-2033, and that day I asked if they were available to go to the mountain because the previous day I went and it was closed ( you don’t make a booking) it was a Saturday but they’ve never advised any cancellations and they answered the 12th, I mean, the next day, for them it doesn’t matter. I think they have to improve how make the hike because they don’t talk anything about the history, the plants (just advice relate to a poisonous tree, no more) the animals, the space, etc. It just was walking from one to another one.

Rock Climbing Curacao is an incredible guiding service with a genuine mom-and-pop vibe. My partner and I were looking for a memorable experience rock climbing on the island, and we sure got it! Jamie and Shirley's hospitality and knowledge of the local routes allowed us experienced climbers to send the types of routes we wanted. There are few better feelings than onsighting near your limit high above a beautiful tropical island. Thank you Rock Climbing Curacao for making it happen!

Our guides were amazing and the climbs were so fun! We went to Tafelberg and did a couple climbs close to the Slab, I forget the exact path it was called. The really memorable route was Exposure! We were close to the peak of the mountain and the view was like no other. The climb itself wasn't difficult, but the thought of it was terrifying.

We had previously only done indoor climbing, 11- is about the hardest route I can do indoors. Climbing outdoors is a completely different experience and I am so glad I went with them for our first time! The guides were patient, clearly experienced, and helped us adjust to the outdoor conditions.

What an experience on the island of Curacao!🌟 After seeing the full 🌕 moon the night before and discovering the Tafelberg Climbing Curaçao Hike adventure on social media, I wanted to see the full moon from the best point on the island. It was absolutely amazing; unfortunately, all my picture formats would not load, but I highly recommend the Moon Hike; you will not be disappointed. The hiking crew was very knowledgeable and assisted throughout the tour, most of the hikers came for the fantastic Sunset, but I was there for the full 🌕 moon. The wait was emotional, as are the sunsets in Curacao, as a few clouds hide the moon through our night trail. Still, every opportunity during the hike experience revealed different moods of the moon. Finally, the moon showed itself entirely, and it was worth the emotional wait and slight torture for me.

We went here to do the table mountain hike by ourselves (20$ pp). The team at RCC has done a fantastic job with the marking and the route itself. I was surprised by the beauty of the rock formations and were rewarded with a nice boulder wall to climb on. Personally I thought this hike was much nicer than Christoffelberg. Less people and a much better view on the top. Although christoffelberg is higher, effectively you make the same height meters between the two. I can't recommend this one enough.
