2.00So, I put that we were coming in on a cruise, and sadly, I put the day before we actually arrived a day late. Granted, this is my fault, however, those in the business know exactly when each ship arrives, the times, ports, etc....So they are prepared for mistakes. Anyhow, I talked to Viator/or the company and they did get someone there to take us for an additional $75, like I said, I know this was my fault Once we began the tour, the translator began telling us about the history of the island, et cetera. He was good at this. Once we arrived to "swim with the sea turtles" we were at a beach that was a bit mucky, nothing like the pictures I had seen. He told us that it was a public beach and on the side of the beach, men are cleaning fish and throwing everything in where you are supposed to swim at. (This is how they attract the sea turtles.) Also, remember to bring your own snorkel gear or rent some from the area. Our guide told us that we had an hour or so swim and see the turtles. There were several people there and in the ocean, however, there was no sea turtles. Had there been, I am unsure if you could have seen them, like it shows in the photos. (It could have been the day or the weather, or the time of day.) After a few minutes, we asked if they could just take us to a beach that "swimming with the sea turtles" was just not what we had done in the past. He told us he would take us to the best beach on the island. Once we arrived, it was pretty but take cash so you can rent chairs and take good shoes. It hurt to walk because of the coral in and on the beach. It cuts your feet. After a few minutes, my group decided that we would rather just shop and look around town. We had about three hours, so the tour guide took us into town. Some of the group asked if they could take us by the rum factory and he told us "NO". We asked him to take us into town (across from the port) and they would not. They did drop us off back at the port and we had an hour and half to walk through the shopping district. Overall, the island was beautiful, and the shopping district across from the port was nice. However, I would not recommend the sea turtles and beach. This was the sentiment of my whole group. I do appreciate that the tour operator was able to correct my mistake of the wrong day for an additional $75 and the gentleman (owners former mother in law) was friendly and knew the island.

5.00We loved this tour! There were only 4 people on the tour and the tour guide Francisco. Shete Boka was beautiful! We went to 2 beaches. The first I was able to rent snorkel equipment. The second one was very busy but pretty. We had lunch at a local place called Playa Forti Bar. It was nice to have a small group. Curacao is beautiful!
