I attended this excursion...

5.00I attended this excursion last month during my birthday trip to Curaçao and I had the most amazing time! I cannot recall our guide’s name, but she was the most knowledgeable and really made sure we got the most out of our experience. We saw so many historical sites during our travel between the beaches and she provided a wealth of knowledge. This was my most favorite excursion. I would do it again. Swimming at Kenepa Grandi was my my favorite as the water was SO clear and I was able to purchase some iguana soup to try which the guide spoke very highly of. Please book this excursion! You won’t regret it!
Great Day

5.00First off, don’t pay attention to any negative reviews about the beach for the snorkeling with turtles being unpleasant due to the smell related to dead fish! I almost didn’t book due to this, and I am so glad I took a chance! The beach we went to snorkel was incredibly clean, gorgeous, and we saw several turtles! Our tour guide, Anita, was phenomenal and made sure we had an unforgettable experience. She was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable the entirety of our tour. Another bonus- we initially booked the tour without the caves, but the company didn’t have enough guests to run this excursion so they offered us a free upgrade, which was a nice surprise!

5.00Ruth was an excellent & knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed her very much! Our first snorkel stop was very nice & not too crowded. It was peaceful. The second stop was not enjoyable to me. The beach needed to be cleaned. There was a lot of trash laying around. The beach was small & very slanted. It was very crowded when we arrived & people just kept coming. I would have preferred a different beach
LOVE Curaçao
