5.00We had a wonderful time with Glen on this tour. He gave us a great overview as he drove right through the beautiful city. We pulled over to look at flamingos (in the wild) after visiting Hato Caves - a very interesting experience! Then Glen dropped us at stunning Kokomo Beach, where we enjoyed the amazingly clear water and superb snorkeling! All day Glen was helpful, friendly and very attentive. We had a fantastic experience!
Highly recommend Ruth she was amazing and would definitely highly recommend this tour especially!

Not Highly Recommended and Does Not Communicate Well

3.00We were picked up in a nice bus but then put in a crammed taxi because they had too many people for the nice bus. We were crammed in and it was difficult to see anything that the guide was telling us. Although he had some nice stories he started with pitics and gas prices. On vacation we don't eantto hear about those stresses. The cave was nice and something different. The cave was last. The schedule was not followed so we had expected to end at Kokomo which is in the write up so we could stay and snorkel more. They tookus to Daaibooi first. You have to pay for chairs as added cost. It was me and my 9 year old. I had to pay adult price for her becsuse it wouldn't allow one adult, one child. You could do two adults, one child but not the single mom and child. Overall the price was not worth it. You can easily take a can or drive to the cave yourself. It is right by the airport. Highly disappointed and didn't need the stress of the politics. Also, I had asked for clarification two days prior re which beach bc they must two. One in the write up and a different one in the itinerary. No one replied. I would have cancelled had they told me the correct order and beach. Daaibooi is pretty but not great for snorkeling. Sea turtles are where the boats and jet skies go so not a great place to see them.
Nice tour guides but can’t recommend it

1.00The tour guides were nice and the caves a little interesting but that’s about the end of it. I know tourism is the main industry and they do the best with what they have to work with. The beach in particular was grim. Drinks available (primarily alcohol) and prices for available food were extortion. Bathroom facilities were disgusting. It would have been better to find a private place in the woods. I recommend staying away from this one.
Amazing!

5.00Leo was an amazing tour guide he was very knowledgeable. He knew very good fun facts about Curacao's history and kept us laughing during the whole day. The Hato caves were so fun to see and interesting to learn about. It's warm in there, so be ready to sweat. My only issue with the tour is we didn't get a chance to get off the bus to see the flamingos, you get to see them for like two seconds as your drive past them. The beach ending was so nice. We got to take pictures on a swing in the beach, we ate good food and we lounged in the sun for about 2 hours. Overall, it was really nice. I would totally recommend as cost effective excursion.
Experience the "Dushi" Caracao Tour

5.00Great tour, a good way to see a little bit of most of Curacao in 4 hours. Glen, an island born and raised native, led us on an informative and fun half day tour, getting island history and high points, then exploring the native caves, viewing the fabulous flamingos and ending with some relaxation at quaint little Kokomo beach. Two thumbs up to "Mr Glen" and Curacao Highlights Tour.
