Incredible adventures - I cannot say enough about Joey and how amazing of a tour guide he was. He is local and knows all the people and the best sites. (Even the iguanas come to his voice) We learned so much about our new favorite island, while seeing everything. I told him that we already plan on returning and calling him...this time with the entire family! Dont take my word for it, book it yourself. Thank you, Joey for everything!

Best Day Ever! - This tour was awesome. Easy pick up instructions, was meet by our guide Sherwin. He was very informative and gave a lot of information about the island and how the locals live. He took us to some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever been too. He gave us instructions for the best places to snorkel and cliff jump, and it did not disappoint. We then went to a local restaurant perched on a cliff. It was very busy, but we had a table reserved with the best view. He gave recommendations for local dishes, which was fun to try. We ended the trip with a tour of a grocery store. He gave recommendations for products only available on the island. It was fun. The best part about the private tour, was that it was customized to what we wanted to do. If we wanted to stay at a beach longer, that's what we did. When we were ready to leave, that's what we did. When we wanted to stop at a grocery store, that's what we did. I felt Sherwin was a perfect match for our group. Worth every penny!

Great way to explore part of the Curacao islandd - We greatly enjoyed our private guided tour with Sherwin and this was one of the best tours we experienced. We loved Sherwin’s passion for the island and we very much enjoyed the fact that he was flexible and was willing to adjust the tour based on our interests as well. We were able to get a flavor of the island’ wild beauty in a very relaxing way. Sherwin is very friendly, approachable and a very pleasant companion providing useful information about the local history and it’s beautiful people. He was also very patient suggesting beautiful scenic points for astonishing photography shots. We also enjoyed the best delicious local lunch from the island with breathtaking panoramic views. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to explore part of the Curacao island and take fabulous pictures! Thank you so much Sherwin ! 😊

Great time in Curacao with Gone Caribe! - We had a usch a great time on this private tour while docked in Curacao for the day. Joseph our guide took such great care of our large group (17)! The reservation process was easy and the directions they provide for our meet up location were simple and to the point. I gave them a curve ball a few weeks out about changing our iteneary and they easily accomoadated my request. ( Instead of just beachs we added the caves and the national park along with siwming with the turtles and a beautiful 2nd beach / lunch) We had a packed day, but I never felt rushed by Jospeh! He also did a great job telling us all about the history of the Island. If you are going to Curacao I highley recommend Gone Caribe.

Best excursion of our vacation! - Our family did a 6 hour private tour. We visited the Hato Caves, Santa Martha Bay, Shete Boka National Park, Playa Pismo, and Playa Forti for lunch. Sherwin was our guide and he was an absolute delight…knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. His love for the island is evident. If we visit Curaçao again, we will definitely tour with Gone Caribe!

Unforgettable 6-Hour Private Tour Beyond the Beaches of Curacao with Sherwin - Our 6-hour private guided tour with Sherwin was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in for a special experience. Sherwin’s passion for Curacao and his extensive knowledge of its history, culture, and hidden gems made this tour an unforgettable journey.
Sherwin took us beyond the typical tourist spots, showing us the heart and soul of Curacao. We saw beautiful beaches, breathtaking scenery, and wildlife from an up close and personal point of view that we never would have discovered on our own. His storytelling brought the island’s history to life, and his friendly, engaging personality made us feel like we were exploring with an old friend.
He also took us to some stunning viewpoints where we could appreciate the island’s natural beauty away from the crowds. Throughout the tour, Sherwin was attentive to our interests and tailored the experience to ensure we got the most out of our day. He even introduced us to some delicious local cuisine that we might have missed otherwise.
If you’re looking for a unique, personalized tour that goes beyond the beaches and dives deep into the true essence of Curacao, I cannot recommend Sherwin highly enough. This tour was the highlight of our trip, and we left with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for this beautiful island. Thank you, Sherwin, for an amazing day!

Best time with Sherwin and Poff on Gone Caribe Tour - We had the best time with Sherwin and Poff. We learned about the culture and island and ended the tour feeling like we had been out with friends. We saw the caves, Shete Boka National Park, swam with Turtles and enjoyed watching flamingoes fly. We ate at Playa Forti where there were people cliff jumping and ate local food options including Keshi Yena, Goat Stew and Grilled Conch while having fun conversations with Sherwin and Poff. You will not regret taking this tour - and you will leave loving Curacao and wanting to return. Thanks Sherwin and Poff for an amazing day!

Best Excursion! Wonderful Guide and Driver! - Honestly the best excursion/island tour I have ever gone on. Out tour guide, Sherwin, and driver Poff were amazing. We learned so much about the island, the people, the history and the culture. We booked a private tour and they helped us create the perfect day! We saw stunning beaches and ocean vistas, beautiful flamingos, snorkel with turtles and saw the Caves, and ended it at a great restaurant where we tried food from this amazing Island. As good as the sites and experiences were - the rich conversation with our wonderful guide and driver helped us get to know and fall in love with Curaçao. We can’t wait to come back and will definitely book again!!
