Traveler Tips
- "Maybe they can charge a bit more money and offer simple snacks so people can last a lot longer." See review
- "The water was fairly shallow for quite a distance out, so it made it easier to swim away from others and feel like you were in your own private pool." See review
- "You will also have time to relax and swim at a stunning beach!" See review

Would Pick Another Operator Next Time.

This tour was quite disappointing. Traveled to several beaches we had already been to. Snorkels felt like an afterthought and were in poor condition. Both of ours leaked constantly and there were no extras even though the tour was not fully booked. No flippers were provided. We swam in shallow water while the tour guide lured turtles to us with fish guts. It felt predatory and misguided. Way too much money for such a lackluster experience. Also the hosts might want to read up a bit on what's appropriate conversation these days in the post-me too era.
Disappointing Tour

This tour started more than 30 minutes late and was quite unorganized. When we arrived at the snorkeling site, we waited another 20 minutes while the equipment was disinfected. By the time we got into the water after wasting 50 minutes, it was raining with thunder and lightning. The tour guide and driver were very nice and they tried hard to make up for the weather, which wasn't their fault. The six people in our party felt that we would have been able to see the turtles if we had been on time and the equipment was ready to be used when we arrived. We took this tour because it had great reviews. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for us.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
The weather was very very bad. Thank you for the review and we are sorry that your expectations were not met. As you have already written, against the bad weather, we can unfortunately do nothing.
Patrick had asked each guest on the bus if he wanted a partial refund of the amount paid, because he himself was not satisfied.
This was denied by all guests.
More we could not offer you in this case

This tour has been the highlight of our trip to Curaçao! We loved every minute of it, from start to finish. Our tour guides Patrick and Eddie were very entertaining and knowledgeable of the island. We were able to swim with beautiful sea turtles, Patrick captured amazing photos that he shared with us and we visited the most beautiful beach in Curaçao. You won’t regret booking this tour!

Our family booked this excursion while we were on a cruise. Hands down the best excursion. It was so cool to swim with the sea turtles. The bonus are the free action shots that Patrick takes underwater to capture your interaction with these beautiful creatures. The best beach stop after the turtles was gorgeous. My only recommendation would be to bring water shoes as the beaches are rocky and rough on bare feet. Thanks for a fantastic time.
Fun adventure

Sexy Eddie was great at historic information on the tour while site seeing.
Patrick our guide in the water was great. Good some good photos of the sea turtles. They come right in the shallow if you don't want to go in the deep. But life vest and snorkels are provided. Plus a roof top view of the ocean to relax after swimming.
Great Experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
