Quality tour - Exceptional Tour. Great guide who is very knowledgeable about the island history and culture. As a previous Park Ranger, he added dimension of discussing the flora and fauna. The selected stops were great to see. He was flexible in time spent at the stops and really was delightful.

Amazing Curacao speedboat adventure - By far the highlight of our cruise where we took a crazy adventurous speedboat tour along the whole West coast to see the famous Blue Room underwater cave, swim with turtles at Playa Piskado and stop at the gorgeous Cas Abao Beach. Speeding along the rocky coastline was incredible and we saw hundreds of flying fish (they actually looked like little humming birds). Was crazy bumpy on the ride back going against the high waves - thankfully my girls love amusement park rides and we had a blast!

Recommendation with incidents - The trip to Turtlebay was nice and definitely worth it. Unfortunately, the captain of the boat including boat was half an hour late. In addition, the cave had to fail due to a defect on the boat.

Don't waste your time. - Our experience was sub par. The boat broke down due to no oil, then our tour guide was trapped in a cave, and get this... his partner didn't want to go help him as his excuse was he had a fresh tattoo. Steer clear of this outfit. They didnt take us to the final spot as our time was lost due to engine problems. And no refund approval.

Terrible! Unreliable - Cancelled on us within 9 hours of our tour. Cancelled on us at 10:52pm with an email, thankfully I opened up my email before bed and thankfully I was still awake to see the email before waking up at 6:30am to be on time for the tour. The excuse they gave was the boat needed repairs, but the repairs are known more than 9 hours in advance and are planned. We needed more notice, we couldn’t book anything else being close to Christmas, everything was booked up.

BEWARE! Cancelled our Excursion less than 10 hours from departing!! - Cancelled our trip within 9 hours overnight!
I received an email at 10:50pm at night (luckily was still up), for our tour the next morning at 9am which we had to plan to be up at 6:30am for. Unacceptable to cancel at 10:50pm the night before your morning tour and by email! We are only here for a few days and every other tour is booked up.
We cannot cancel our excursion within 24 hours, you would think they would have the same courtesy!
This is our family vacation for Christmas and now we cannot find another excursion.
Read the reviews! This company is not reliable! This is the poorest customer service I have ever received.

How not to DIE during this EXCURSION. - First and foremost make sure the boat has enough life savers. Next make sure you know what you will do to save your life incase of an emergency.
Our excursion was a nightmare from hell.
We went to the cave and were told only strong swimmers could go. No big deal. Now tell me why the tour guide who should be a string swimmer, told others how to get in the cave almost died and drowned! When everyone returned to the boat the guide was yelling for help from the cave. Our boat driver then proceeds to ask others to go help save his friend. I believe when the guide was trying to get out of the cave he must have hit his head because there was complete silence followed by the women screaming call 911! Not even sure that’s the right number in Curacao. Imagine the horror of the rest of us on the boat.
We then proceed to swim with the turtles and the water was so murky, which I understand is out of their control, we couldn’t see many. No big deal. As we rush back to the boat we are told the engine is down and one of the engine needs oil. We waited on a mechanic for a few hours.
We did not even see the third spot they promised. Which at this point no one cared because we were starving and 7 hours into this 3 hour excursion.
PS there is not enough snorkel gear for everyone and they don’t wash the mouth pieces. They dip them in the ocean and it’s passed to the next person.
My advice is have a back up plan incase all goes wrong.
