Loved Ittttttt!!!

5.00Great tour to gain some knowledge about Curaçao's history. Our tour guide Tianna was very knowledgeable and clear in her delivery, even though she's young she handled it exceptionally well, she's very interactive with the entire bus and took great care of us Trinis. Would recommend to all first timers to Curacao, the caves are gorgeous, I was a bit nervous because I'm not good with enclosed spaces but they have fans installed in thr caves to keep the space nice and cool to prevent you from feeling claustrophobic. If you are very tall there are some spaces where you have to bend to get through, then onto the beach where you get 2 hours to relax and soak on Kokomo beach, the food there is scrumptious, be sure to try the crispy chicken sandwich and the Mai tais, great service all around. The water is lovely and the facilities are well kept. After the beach you get a short drive through the city where Tianna will give you some great information. Our driver was great as well (don't remember his name sorry lol) all in all worth its weight in gold!

5.00Signed up for the Hato Caves, Flamingo and Beach Tour. Our driver and guide was Glen, he was very friendly and did the tour in both English and Spanish. We started out with a tour of Williamstead followed by Hato Caves, stopping briefly at the Flamingos and lastly Kokomo Beach. I would definitely recommend this tour. The only thing I would advise people is that everyone runs on Island time do have patience and give no worries.
Amazing!

5.00Our family loved this tour! (2 adults + 11 year old, 7 year old). The cave was really neat to see (with a great & knowledgeable tour guide) and Daaibooi beach was amazing! We got to swim with sea turtles, which was incredible! Definitely would recommend. Unfortunately, we only saw 2 flamingos, but understand that it can’t be helped. Just know that it’s possible to not see many. We were also incredibly thankfully that the tour waited for us as our cruise ship docked a little later than when the tour was supposed to leave. The lady who checked us in was so kind & helpful. Our guide was very nice also.

5.00This was by far one of the most incredible excursions me and my fiance experienced here. Our tour guides Glen and Tiara were the best!!! They were very friendly and knowledgeable about the country. We were staying at a resort that was not listed as a pickup option because it’s too far out but we really wanted to do the excursion and both Glen and Tiara still came to pick us up. PLEASE BOOK THIS TOUR IF YOU ARE IN CURACAO!

1.00Do not book this tour unreliable. The guide never showed and we did not receive a refund. I messaged the tour operator when we couldn't find him and never answered. I tried calling, also the port authority person tried calling and no answer. Viator refuses to give me my money back

5.00Our tour guide Glen was kindhearted, well informed, and incredibly professional. My husband and I instantly felt comfortable and at ease with him. He was very timely, helpful, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the Hato Caves and Beach Tour. Glen’s knowledge of Willemstad was refreshing and engaging, and he took the time to answer the many questions we had along the way. His insights made us feel as though we were part of the city rather than just visitors. The tour was well organized, enjoyable, and absolutely great value for money. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and are extremely happy we got Glen for this experience. We will definitely be recommending this company to our friends who plan on visiting later in the year.

Nice tour…but the beach portion needs to improve

4.00The overall tour was nice and highlighted by the trip to the caves. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. My only gripe with the tour is the beach that we went to was very crowded and they charged for EVERYTHING. And when I say everything I mean it. From the shower to wipe the sand off your feet (coin operated shower head) to the toilet paper for the bathroom. I found that to be very tacky considering what we paid for the tour. I suggest working out a deal with the owners at the beach to include a wrist band and some basic amenities.
