Highly recommended - So much fun! - Excellent trip. Our guide, Ruth, was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip so much fun. The bus is air conditioned, and snorkels and snacks were provided. The pace of the day was perfect. Beaches and turtles were fun. I would definitely recommend this trip to solo travelers, couples and families. We learned a lot and had a fun day. It was the highlight of our time in Curaçao.

Aunty Anita - Aunty Anita was a gracious and wonderful host during this tour. We were very fortunate to find ourselves in a small group setting.. we were with three people. This opportunity gave us a tailor made experience which I personally enjoyed. This experience allowed us to ask Anita a lot of questions about the island, life in general, what it's like living there, her personal connection with the island's slavery history, etc. In return she showed us the beautiful cara-cara birds, the flamingos, and ensured that we were able to join the Hato cave tour last minute.
Whilst stopping at Turtle Beach she took care of our belongings and made sure that we did not interact with Crazy Nel. He's a bit of an eccentric person who has an odd way with turtles.
She is an absolute joy as a human being, super knowledgeable and motherly tour guide.

10 Stars - Highly Recommended - Such a great experience! Anita the tour guide was fantastic - she was kind, funny, and super knowledgeable of all the places on the island, and of course Victor was an awesome driver! I had asked about the flamingos on the island at one time during the excursion and on our way back at the end of the tour they made a point to stop at a certain area so we could look for some flamingos, which we saw a few of them! Highly recommend them when you visit curaçao!!
