Exceptional tour guide and bus driver.

5.00Exceptional tour guide Anita. Provided key info on island and where we were going. Took us to less crowded beach area to snorkel with turtles; excellent location and no other tour group there. 2nd beach stop also was great. Overall great experience. Would do it again. Tour guide and bus driver made this tour very enjoyable.
Not worth the money

3.00This isn’t worth the money. These activities are free and it would have been cheaper to rent a car and just drive. The only saving grace was the tour guide was funny.
This tour was great! ...

5.00Tour guide was entertaining and informative while driving to the two locations. The first stop with the turtles was outstanding. We got to see several turtles and it wasn't that crowded. The next beach was beautiful, it was a long trip to get to it, but well worth it. Great experience all around!
Cool experience

4.00There were so many sea turtles it was awesome, they were very up close. The beach was also beautiful. Our guide I think his name was Coco was super friendly. Only complaint is that the bus ride is super long, about 1 hr 45 mins, which can be a bit much in a bus without air conditioning. Our bus also broke down and we had to switch buses but they did everything they could to fix the issue quickly.
beautiful experience but the organization can be better.

3.00that the transport is late and not on time, three quarters later., the walk was beautiful and safe with divers 1 in 2. filming is not allowed, you can buy it from the organization which is still quite a search online to find your own video. These aren't on the right number. If you app for help they will read it but not respond.

3.00Overall, ok experience. The microphone on the bus kept going out, so we couldn't hear most of what the guide was saying. When we arrived at Turtle Beach, we were told to be back on the bus at a certain time, but not directed where to go to see the turtles. It wasn't until I decided to do a little exploring on my own that I noticed people gathering on the opposite side of the beach. By then, we unfortunately only had about 15-20 minutes left to try to swim with them. This was quite disappointing as this was the main reason we booked this excursion. The second beach we went to was beautiful, but not much fun for the kids. It was extremely crowded and the sand was covered in coral/rocks, so "playing" on the beach was not an option. The kids were bored after about 15 minutes there. I'm glad we had this experience, but if we went back to Curacao, we would visit Mambo beach instead. We chose not to go there because of the mixed reviews (and because we wanted to swim with turtles), but I think it would definitely be a more enjoyable experience for the kids.

5.00This was a fantastic trip. Guides were very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend for all ages
The location is crowded...

4.00The location is crowded and everything has an extra charge. Toilet? a buck, There is an assertive local on the dock who is 'feeding' the turtles to keep them close and wants ten dollars from people who are snorkeling. We avoided the dock and had a lovely time and observed 6-7 turtles with fewer people and fees. Our driver did not accompany us down to the beach, just turned us loose...would have perferred a guide down there. It was VERY busy. Wasnt' sure how clean the snorkle gear was. Guide was very good on the mic as we drove across the island. Traffic jam made for longer day and worried us about getting back in time but it worked out.
