5.00We actually did not do this trip as there were not enough participants. So the tour operator - Amauri tours- offered us. An upgrade to a different tour. So we switched to the 9 am Tour. Totally worked out for Us. We did the flamingos, hate cave, turtles snorkel at Oscar or and then the 2 hour beach stay. It really was so fun and we had Ana as our guide. She was awesome. The flamingos were close to the road The harp caves were really interesting. The turtle swim was at the more popular beach where a guy throws / gives fish to the turtles so they come closer. Some Comics with turtles on their stomachs and backs. Not recommended as no one should be touching the turtles. Anyway. Saw at least 7-8. Snorkels provided were good. Them I thought the beach would be boring but it was also so fun. Great place to eat at castaways and the swimming area was calm. And a real beach! Our hotel had a bulkhead beach- really a saltwater infinity pool. Which was very interesting and relaxing. Pick up and drop off at the hotel was perfect. Our tour bus ended up With a flat tire at the caves and 30 mins later We Were On our way again in a different bus. All handled very well. Anyway bring water shoes. Curaco is very rocky
Our guide was great, turtles not so much

4.00Our driver Leo and our guide Anita were great but it wasn't the best day for turtles, except for one person in my group I think most people saw at least one but they were pretty scarce.
Great experience - maybe switch up the sequence

5.00Great tour guide. Hato Caves were cooler than I was expecting. Wish we had gone to the turtle beach first though because by the time we got there there weren’t many turtles. I saw one and we only spent 45 minutes at that beach.
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha…. And turtles too

5.00First off this tour was amazing because of the tour guide name Marsha. 23 years old and full of energy, passion, and knowledge of curaçao. Due to our group only having 6 people in it, we went to a smaller turtle beach called Daaibooi beach instead of the regular one. We had the beach area pretty much to ourselves and a couple of turtles hung around. With tons of fish. The tour offers snorkeling gear… we brought our own. Thou you will need water shoes for the first couple of feet getting into the water. After about 90 minutes we left and went to Kenapi beach. Amazing beautiful. There are stairs or a steep ramp to get down.

2.00We did not enjoy the tour. The guide was a German who didn't really tell interesting things, mostly about Hanover where he came from. The beach with the turtle was very nice but Grote Knip was closed because she took stones off the beach with a bulldozer. So only brought little Cut what was over full because the other beach was closed. The tour included a snorkel set but please bring your own. The snorkel goggles are not cleaned after use I think, the salt was completely absorbed so you could not see anything through the glass under water. And then drive back a boring part. No, we didn't like it completely, only the turtles, you could see them without snorkeling glasses.
