Great turtle experience and guide - Great tour—our experience was like the other positive reviews here. Our tour guide Anita provided a lot of history and information about the island as we drove through the western portion on the way to the turtle spot. Great snorkeling with the turtles and some interesting fish to watch in between turtle visits. We see the flamingos pretty close up at the saliña on the way back. Whole family (parents and two teenagers enjoyed)!

You want turtles? This tour gets you turtles. - Good tour, lots of turtles to be seen at the snorkeling spot. The drive was decent and the van was air conditioned. The info the guide provided was great both during the drives and at a couple stops. The Turtles are great, they will swim around you and sometimes even touch you. It's pretty fun.

Excellent tour guides made for excellent outing - We had a fantastic outing with Samurai Tours. Our guides were Suli and Janet and they were excellent. In addition to transporting us to the location where we would be swimming with the sea turtles, Suli gave us a detailed history of the island, the areas we were traveling through, and tips for enjoying our stay. She answered all of our questions. It was a fantastic outing and I highly recommend Samurai and Suli & Janet as tour guides.

Swimming with Turtles - The experience exceeded my expectations. The guide Bryan was on time and very helpful in not only providing the snorkel info and experience, but also giving a tour of the towns attractions and description of Curacao's history and several key sites during the 1 hr drive. This was much appreciated as it saved time on separate tours.
The snorkel experience was awesome. The Turtles were spectacular. It was a magical experience.

Swimming with turtles and a viewing flamingos in the distance - Anita is a very nice and professional. She gave alot of history of the country and pointed out some landmarks. Swimming with the sea turtles was a great experience but there was not many in the area. The viewing of the flamingos was a bit lack luster in that they were very far away, barely to get a proper picture. Overall it was a nice experience to do in curacao.

May 2024 experience - Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Easy pick up and drop off. We went everywhere and saw a lot more than we expected. My only complaints are the flamingos were in a preserve which is cut in half by a highway. We arrived got out on side of road and took a few photos. That was it. The snorkeling was lots of fun. The gear is more then gently used so bring your own. Also the beach is not sandy but coral/ rock so bring water shoes. Last thing to note, beach chairs are $12 to rent with an umbrella they are not included.

Too much bus - too little turtles - Once we finally arrived after an unexpected 90 minute bus ride to the swim site, it was a very fun snorkel experience. Amazing to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat, unafraid of people. Note to Viator though - the value is in the swim and snorkel experience, not in the bus ride. 2 1/2 hours of riding a bus while only 90 minutes of ocean time is not something I would repeat nor recommend to others. Shorten the bus ride to the site, and lengthen the swim time to 2 hours and it would increase the value.
