First Viator Excursion in Curaçau

I'm glad i picked the excursion with Viator. The Samurai Excursion team is great. Our small group of 6 people were greeted by Naomi, our tour guide. So it was very well put together per se. Naomi is a local of Curaçau. So you get to learn a lot from her about the culture, people, history. Very informative! The turtles were very playful. But listen to the guides. Dont chase after them... just let them come to you. Love it. Then at Playa Kalki. I did not want to leave. The water is as clear as it could be. Try snorkle out between the two floating platforms as there are two mounts of rocks where all the fishes are. I would totally visit again in a heartbeat. But will i het Naomi again? That would be a bonus! Lol. -Gary Ps: i was not able to upload any pix... Viator Admin, please check?

Great tour, best of everything: caves, beaches and turtles, absolutely loved it. Ruth is a great tour guide, lots of fun stories and information on the island. Snorkeling with the turtles is definitely the best part, the turtles swim so close. Thank you for an amazing day full of fun activities.
Won't regret booking

They are one of the few companies that will pick up at sandals. They were great to us. We had a great time snorkeling with the Turtles.
All in all a great excursion

Great tour! Saw the Hato Caves, then to the beach to swim with the wild turtles and finally to a beautiful beach for swimming. Be sure to wear your water shoes because the last beach is rocky. All in all a great excision led by our tour guide, Anita, who really educated us on the history of the island.
Short on expectations

Trip is on an open air old school bus (not comfortable, crapped and too bumpy). Beaches though nice, rocky water (water shoes required). No meet up time email/ text (had to inquire to a few diff reps to find out where exacting to go). Would definitely go with a different option next time around if presented.
Great experience!

What fun and education day. From the cave tour, to swimming with turtles, followed by time relaxing at the beach. The day was amazing and would highly recommend.

Samurai tours was amazing. They were knowledgeable and very funny. Naomi entertained with knowledge and humor combined. Next time I come to Curacao, I’ll book with them again.
