Top Curacao Bus Tours

I really enjoyed this tour. Mike was punctual, incredibly informative about the island, and consistent with the timing at each site. He was very funny and connected to the group very well. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the main attractions of the island, getting a thorough understanding of the people, culture, and traditions, and doing it with a friendly guide.

Saskia was an awesome tour guide!!! We were able to curate a tour that did not repeat tours that we had been on previously. I recommend booking this tour at the beginning on your stay to really get to see the popular sites or do what we did and book at the end so we would capture parts of Curaçao we didn’t get to see or wanted to see again. We had an excellent time! Thank you for being part of our curaçao story 🙂

Patrick and Sevi were absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they made our Curaçao tour such a wonderful and memorable experience. It was my son’s 13th birthday, and they surprised him with birthday muffins, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected personal touch. Anyone with teenagers know they aren’t always easy to impress, but my son thoroughly enjoyed the entire day! I especially appreciated Patrick’s effort when we went swimming with the sea turtles. It was a particularly slow day for sightings, but he really went out of his way and used his experience to make sure we were able to see a few. That extra effort meant a lot to us. Patrick and Sevi were warm, attentive and genuinely committed to making sure we had a great experience. The little extras and personal touches throughout the day made it even more special. Definitely a 10/10 experience and one of the highlights of our Curaçao trip. I would 100% recommend. Thank you both for helping make my son’s birthday so memorable!

Absolutely fantastic tour with Ray!! Loved the flexibility. At pickup we told him what we wanted to fit into the day, he made an itinerary on the spot, and then we changed it up as needed throughout the day. He also gave us so much history of the island throughout. The lunch spot was also delicious (I recommend the garlic shrimp). Time and money well spent.

This tour was wonderful, we had a great time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and had a very entertaining way of telling stories. We got to visit a souvenir shop with a beautiful view, check out the blue curacao distillery, and shop around the local market. Would recommend to anyone staying in Curacao who’s looking to learn more about the island and explore!

My wife and I recently (June) stayed at Sandals in Curacao. We wanted to explore the island and were going to rent a car but they were sold out. We went online and found a private tour where you could create your day long custom tour. My wife and I wanted to explore Willemstad, snorkel with a chance to witness sea turtles, a nice waterside place to eat seafood and places to make photo memories. Well, we could not have imagined what was ahead when we were picked up in our own private van with Alberto at the helm and Anita providing the color and background to our journey. We learned Anita had come from the Netherland over 25 years ago and Alberto was born and raised on the island. The both of them were so nice and inviting and Anita's knowledge was willingly shared and my wife and I learned so much history and how life is on the island. Our first stop was Willemstad and the beautiful colorful buildings and Queen Emma Bridge. We learned on a walking tour about the history of the government and parliamentary buildings. Anita left us for a bit so we could explore and shop. We boarded our van for a tour through the city's neighborhoods with Anita giving us background on the religious, cultural and lifestyle of folks on the island. We then had a stop at the Flamingo sanctuary where we were able to see Flamingos in the wild! In communication before our excursion we had asked to go to a spot where we had the best chance of seeing Sea Turtles. Well, it just so happens Anita is a volunteer with the Island's Sea Turtle conservation program. She brought us to Daaibooi Baai (Bay). Anita explained if she is able, (meaning small groups, small van tours) she brings guests to this little beach. She says it's more locals and we'd have a great chance at seeing turtles. My wife and I donned our gear and walked towards the shore. People were standing in the water looking for turtles. Anita spotted one right away just feet away from several people who didn't see it. Clearly Anita knew what she was looking for. After about a half hour of seeing a few colorful fish along the rocks, my wife and I headed back to shore feeling that seeing a turtle in person underwater would have to wait. As I approached the shore I stood up and took my mask off when my wife poked at me. There was a green turtle who had come up from behind us. I put my mask on and we were able to swim with the beautiful creature before it disappeared into darker water. Woo Hoo! We then stopped at Christoffel National Park and Plantation Knip. We had the pleasure to meet Anita's son who is a Park Ranger! Shete Boka National Park was our next stop where you can see waves crashing a spouting skyward and a natural bridge that crosses the jagged, rocky shore. We next headed for lunch. As I communicated with a representative of Samurai tours prior to tour day, my wife and I wanted some local seafood on the water. Anita, did not disappoint. We stopped at West Punt and Playa Forti, an old fort now a restaurant. We were escorted to our reserved table for an amazing lunch and local cliff divers! After lunch we made our way back to our resort and Alberto was amazing at stopping or slowing so we could photo sites along the way1 Our last stop was a stop at Senior&CO Curacao distillery and some wonderful samples. After 8 hours that passed like 20 minutes, we were back at our resort thanking Anita and Alberto for a most unforgettable day! Processing this journey days later we are grateful for such an opportunity we had. If this is indicative of all Samurai tours, you won't be disappointed.

Bus was right on time at cruise port. Bob our tour guide was very informative. Open air bus. Hopefully good weather when you go. We had a beautiful day. Last stop at beach for an hour was relaxing. Blue Curaçao factory was fun. Good drinks there. Wish tour would have included aloe factory.

This tour was such a fun and easy way to see Curaçao, especially as a solo traveler. Our guide, Nelly, was amazing, super funny, knowledgeable, and full of personality. She really made the experience enjoyable and even helped take photos and videos for me in front of the famous Curaçao sign, which I appreciated so much. The tour gives you a nice overview of the island, hitting key spots like the downtown area where you get time to walk around and explore on your own, then to the Curaçao liqueur distillery where you can sample small shots, and Mambo Beach. Mambo beach was pretty overcrowded when we went and you’ll have to pay extra to rent a chair. One thing to note is that a lot of the sightseeing is more of a drive-by experience with information shared along the way, rather than extended stops. I do wish there was a bit more focus on history or even a museum stop to dive deeper into the culture. Overall, I still really enjoyed the tour. It’s a great introduction to the island, especially if you’re short on time or traveling alone and want a guided way to explore.
