    This tour was excellent. Our tour guide, naomi, was funny and interesting and really showed off the local culture very well. The snorkeling was phenomenal and the caves were great experience but be prepared to climb a lot of stairs. Overall a superb tour

  • Great Day in Curacao

    This was great! Max was our guide and he had many stories to tell about Curacao and the places we went. After a bit of orientation about the island, we went to the Hato Caves. We were warned that there are bats in this cave, but they were not harmful. It's a very popular place and after climbing 70 steps or so, we went inside and began our tour with Noah. Very interesting. We did spy 1 bat hanging around, sleeping, while another flew out of the cave while our guide was speaking. It was very hot and they had electric fans throughout to keep it comfortable. Then to Turtle Beach where Max supplied snorkel gear and after just walking no more than 10 feet into the water, we saw lots of sea turtles swimming around us - small to large! A local would help you float on your back while he lured a turtle onto your belly! Picture time! Lastly, we went to a resort on the beach where we could order lunch, beverages and swim, or visit the pool above the resort. It was a great day in Curacao.

    Tour guide Naomi was fun and interesting. We had an issue with the bus in the morning that caused a delay. Tour company sent another bus but that took over an hour. We all enjoyed swimming with turtles, although it was quite crowded. The second beach stop was beautiful and we all enjoyed lunch and the water there. Caves were interesting. You spend more time on the bus than visiting the stops. Enjoyed the stops.

  • Would recommend to save money over cruise tour good experience for family

    Turtles were awesome. (my oldest said that it was "A little less magical to see the guts they feed them" to keep them coming, but still great.) the turquoise beach break had jelly fish, so no one wanted to swim (March). So I rented a kayakish body platform to lay down on for $10 with a window (same result as snorkeling) and my 12 year old had a blast. He saw an eel that was longer than him that came out of its hole and he wasn't scared (due to the physical barrier). I snorkeled with our own equipment and enjoyed it. I had long sleeves and maybe I am old enough that the stings didn't bother me? There is a lunch offered for extra money (so be aware of that)---like expensive burgers. Don't pet the beach cats at the beach break. Seemed friendly to my teen, but attacked one of my teens. (i wasn't there-- i wouldn't have advised petting a beach cat anyways). They do not provide snorkel stuff for beach break, just the turtle experience. Important to note. Very expensive to rent snorkel stuff. (not expensive to rent the yellow kayak board with the window to see fish) Careful which tree you sit under for beach break. My lips blew up the next day after spitting gum into a dead leaf (to throw away). Later saw the sign the tree was toxic. The tour guide gave little warning of the plan. Bus would be stopping and very brief directions given while stopping. Would have been nice to get a better description of the plan a little sooner. Would have liked more history and/or facts. But got to see what felt like the whole island. (in general the country could use an adopt a highway--but overall beautiful). I would recommend this tour. I would bring beach drinks. They do provide a snack after the turtles (mini pringles) and drink after the cave. I was concerned about missing the tour as our cruise disembarked at 8:30am and it took off from the pier at 8:45am. The meeting tent was at the far end of the sidewalk from the ship. However, it was easy to find and I was in no danger of missing it. Also if on a cruise, pro tip---- there were two disembarkation points from the ship. one was empty (we saw after we got off) and the other was like a 10 minute wait, even though we were in line like 15 min before the gangway opened. The caves were good (not cool if you are wanting a cold cave to get out of the heat). I'd bring a little cash for the cave snacks.

    Great excursion, I recommend. The timing was great for the cruise passengers. Departure from the port at 9am to the caves. Visit of the interesting site, then departure to the turtle beach. It was crowded but the turtles are there! Provide waterproof cases for your phones worth it! Departure then to the beach where tables are reserved at the restaurant for lunch overlooking the paradisiacal beach. 2 hours of downtime are enough to enjoy swimming and walking along the beach. Returning to the port around 3:30 pm, you can still shop at the port before getting back on the boat. To do without hesitation!

  • Great 5-6 hour tour of the island

    Had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and really went the extra mile, adjusting our schedule to ensure we had the best possible chance to swim with sea turtles. Seeing the flamingos and relaxing on the beautiful western beach were major highlights. Topping it off with the Hato Caves—a total must-see—made for a perfect day. The tour delivered exactly what was promised. Highly recommend!

  • Wonderful day on the Island

    Our guide and driver were both excellent. The information about the history of Curacao and the 3 point of interest we went to was great. Swimming with the turtles but being aware of them being endangered really made the experience wonderful.
