What To Expect
Hato Caves
The cave of the Amerindian Arawak's and Caiquetio Indians, who lived around this area, and left behind the petroglyphs, estimated at least 1,500 years old. The cave is officially protected by the state as of 1967. You will have a 1 hour cave tour with a knowledgeable guide, who will give all information on the history and cultural significance of the cave.
Playa Piskado/Playa Grandi
The best beach to swim with turtles in Curaçao, is Playa Grandi (also known as Playa Piskado). The water is clear and there are a lot of sea turtles right at the pier. It’s a real treasure to see and to be able to swim alongside these amazing creatures.

Flamingos, Caves, Turtles, and Cliff Jumping Tour – My Honest Experience

4.00Pickup was super easy—right outside near the cruise market tents. A friendly staff member greeted us and walked us just outside the gate to meet our driver. Our van had five tourists, and our guide Nelly was fantastic. The van had AC (huge win!), and she provided water, Sprite, Coke, snorkel gear, and pool noodles. Throughout the drive, she shared great info about the island. Stop 1: Flamingos This was a very quick roadside stop to see the flamingos. You can get out and take photos, but honestly, they were pretty far away—even zooming in didn’t help much. A bit underwhelming. Stop 2: Hato Caves Nelly handed us off to a local cave guide, and we rejoined her at the cave exit. It’s definitely humid inside, but they do have fans. Stop 3: Turtle Spotting & Snorkeling I can see why this is a love it or hate it spot. Its best to come with low expectations to “swim with turtles”. A fisherman cuts fish on the dock to attract turtles. I swam on the left side where it didn’t smell as strong, and while I didn’t see turtles there, the water and views far left were gorgeous. We had plenty of time to snorkel, swim, and explore. Stop 4: Grote Knip Beach This was my favorite stop. It’s a smaller, scenic beach with beautiful water and a laid-back vibe. I did the cliff jump—it was easy to get to- at your own risk- but definitely jump straight like a pencil or you’ll slap the water hard like I did and end up bruised 😬. We had about 2 hours here to relax and swim before heading back. Final Thoughts: I wouldn’t personally do this tour again only because I’ve done it once and I’d want to try something new next time. But I absolutely recommend it—especially for first-timers in Curaçao. You get to see some off-the-beaten-path areas. I would recommend to the tour company to drop the flamingo spot and maybe instead drive through the colorful downtown instead. Tips: • Wear water shoes (I wore Tevas)—the beach entrances are rocky. • Be prepared for stairs/inclines at several stops. • Bring cash – Beach chairs cost $5–$10, bathrooms are $1, and snack vendors are cash only as well. • You can leave stuff in the van with the guide at stops you don’t want to carry things to. It was a great balance of adventure and relaxation!
Two thumbs up!

5.00This excursion was great! Our guide, Nellie, was so informative, kind, funny, and just all around pleasant! She gave us an experience of a lifetime. We saw the flamingos, capturing some of the best pictures. Then Nellie took us to Hato Caves, where a wonderful guide told us about the history of the caves and the bats who reside there. There are steps up to the caves, but they are doable and you can go at a pace that is comfortable. Then off to swimming with the turtles, which was a great experience. We took alot of pictures and snorkled. Our last stop was the beautiful beach of Grote Knip. Wow...I cannot describe how amazingly beautiful this beach is. Our time there was unforgettable! On our way back to our resort, Nellie showed us more of the interesting history, arts, and landscape of this beautiful island. I highly recommend this excursion.
Such a fun day!

5.00Our tour guide was Nelly and she was fantastic! In addition to seeing the beautiful sites we got to learn so much about the history of the Island. Nelly was extremely knowledgeable and allowed plenty of room for questions. The cave tour was really cool as well as swimming with the turtles. Grote Knip is such a beautiful beach. It had rained in the morning so the flamingos had gone away. We were sad to miss them, but nothing you can do about the weather! Even without seeing the flamingos we felt the experience was well worth the cost.
Truly beautiful...

4.00Enjoyable. Hato Cave was interesting. Swimming with the turtles unique. Only way to get good pics with them is to have a local or tour guide feed them. Grote Knip was stunning. The final visit to see the flamingos worth skipping as the birds are quite distant.
