Upon entering, you’re greeted by cool limestone formations, stalactites, and stalagmites that have been shaped over thousands of years. The guide’s insightful narrative about the caves’ history, from their formation to their use as a hiding place for escaped slaves, makes the experience all the more enriching.

It’s a unique introduction to the island’s natural and cultural heritage.

Next up is the snorkeling adventure with turtles. The crystal-clear waters of Curacao are perfect for getting up close and personal with these gentle sea creatures. The guides are attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring everyone feels safe and comfortable in the water. Observing the turtles glide effortlessly through the water, surrounded by vibrant marine life, is a truly magical experience. This part of the tour is well-organized, allowing plenty of time for snorkelers of all levels to enjoy the sights. Don’t forget your underwater camera—this is a moment worth capturing!

Awesome! Loved and well worth the money!

5.00Loved this excursion! There were a lot of people at the turtle beach, but the guide gave very clear instructions so we were prepared as to what we would see. At the second stop I had no idea we would have access to the pool/beach club and it was AMAZINGLY beautiful! My girls were “beached out” and enjoyed the pools and food up above for hours! The tour guide was amazing and so full of knowledge, the bus stayed cool and everyone was so overly friendly. You can’t see the flamingos that great, but that was ok. The caves are “up” not “down” like we are used to where we are from so if you think you need a sweater, you don’t! It’s very warm. The bus rides are longer than we thought so use the bathrooms (which most need $1 to use) and plan ahead accordingly.

3.00The tour itself was okay. We did enjoy seeing Hato Caves. Very interesting and lots of pictures. Next was a short visit at turtle beach for snorkeling with the turtles, followed by a longer visit to a beach that was beautiful but too rocky to enjoy without water shoes. My main complaint has to do with the bus that we were transported on. It was an open air Caribbean style bus which would have been okay except that it was dirty, had torn seats, was cramped and they were 30 minutes late picking us up so we had to stand around outside in the sun waiting for them to arrive. For this reason, I will not be booking any more Viator tours.

5.00Good cost for 3 stops. Anita was great and informative. Great communication when the bus was running a little late, made all the difference! Loved Hato Caves and Playa Kilka- could do without the turtles and chum in the water but I know it’s a tourist thing.
Great Tour. A must when you visit

5.00Naomi was an amazing guide. She was filled with lots of information of the history of Curaçao along with the present day happenings. She has a great personality and it matched well with our driver. We were out for practically an entire work day but it was fun. The cave tour was educational.. The turtles are amazing. The second beach visit for lunch was beautiful.
Valuable experience

5.00Anita was an excellent guide, and our driver, Ali, ensured a smooth ride. Anita was very knowledgeable and shared numerous facts and historical details with the group. Considering the cost, it was a worthwhile experience. We saw many turtles and other fish swimming around us. The final beach was somewhat crowded, but we managed to enjoy a quick swim in the ocean after having a tasty lunch at the beach restaurant. Overall, this tour is a fantastic option for a day when you want to explore the island.

5.00Overall, one of the best experiences on the island. The admission fee is reasonable. The length of the day is perfect. It was upbeat and lively. A full bus for people ready to have fun. The bus driver Rio and tour guide Anita were excellent. Anita was funny and personable, and gave us lots of history along the way. It was a long drive from our hotel to Playa Kalki, but Anita entertained us through the drive. The Hato caves were interesting and pretty much what you would expect. Playa Picado was a smaller beach, and it was crowded, but we were given what we were promised. A turtle experience! We saw lots of turtles! The second beach was also beautiful and much more lively. Drink drinks, food, and gorgeous turquoise waters. I must do if you’re on the island.
