Bring beach shoes…beaches... - Greater and we saw the turtles!!!! Bring beach shoes…beaches are kind of rocky. The resort we stopped at is a very small beach…sit at the front of the bus so you have a shot of grabbing a spot with shade:)

Beautiful cave and snorkel Beach spot with abundant 🐢turtles - Crazy banana painted open air bus great pickup and varied communication. Drive to caves saw large part island with good tour information. Cave great experience but need to be able to climb many stairs and ok with heat and humidity. Again good tour guides and verbal information. Beach nice great clear warm water lots of sea life and friendly turtles. Very pleasant local family hangout. Restaurant seafood options shower and restrooms available. Lots of well spent time with fun driver tour guide and music. Great deal for the cost.

Perfect Tour for visiting the island - This was a fantastic last minute add for our family. We were in port for a long duration and I knew we could go with an outside tour operator. Not only was the price reasonable but the excursion was so much fun! Ruth and Janette were with us all day and incredible! We went to the caves first, then to swim with sea turtles. Ruth gave us all the details and we felt super informed. That beach is rocky so bring water shoes but also it's very crowded. Definitely a tourist thing....then we went to another beach which was gorgeous. We were able to pre-order lunch which was helpful. The mango beer was awesome! The cats running around made the kids happy and the dock to swim out to was super fun as well. Small beach again but really lovely. Finally we saw some flamingos on our way back to port. It was really just perfect timing.

Small tour group on New... - Small tour group on New Year’s Day. Anita was knowledgeable & detail oriented. Cave experience was amazing, then off to swim with the turtle. This was the favorite part of the booking. Stopped for lunch & visited a beach with a pool overlooking the ocean. Flamingos were the perfect stop on our way back to the resort.

Beautiful Curacao! - The tour was top notch from the driver to the guide, the beach is beautiful food is amazing if you choose to pay for lunch. My son and wife swam with the turtles even though the ocean visibility wasn't the greatest. The beach is rockie just most beaches in Curacao I would recommend water shoes. Our tour guide Joy was excellent very informative and helpful.

Overall a nice excursion - Overall the excursion was pretty good. The turtles you could actually see from the dock, but they were big and they did get close to you. The beach was very nice. And the cave was also interesting.
