Hato Caves Tours and Tickets

Nice trip with 4 stops . I would rather have spent more time at beach than see the flamingos. Guide and driver were excellent

The caves are very beautiful!! Definitely worth seeing. The cave guide was a little difficult to understand, but very friendly. The flamingos is a “drive by” 🤣🤣. The beach was breathtaking!! Very beautiful and resturant food was excellent!! This tour was definitely worth it!!

Easy to book a trip and pickup at the ship was easy and great. Debbie was our driver and Marsha was a guide. Both were excellent. Caves were beautiful and the swim with the turtles was great. We both enjoyed the beach.

Be prepared to walk up and down steep stairs totally worth it though. We got to visit more than one beach which was also fantastic

A great experience! I liked that you get to go to three different places in one day and admission is included for everything. Swimming with the turtles was really fun. Be warned though that the first beach is a fisher man’s beach so you are going to be swimming with fish guts since that is how they attract the turtles. But the tour guide let us know everything ahead of time and gave very clear instructions on when to come back to the bus. Pick up an drop off to the hotel is also included

Very good tour. Both the driver and the guide (I think his name was Joel) were wonderful. Gave a lot of information on the island and were amicable. Also very accommodating to guests.

Our experience on this tour was fantastic from start to finish. Lady, our guide, was so much fun and kept everyone laughing and engaged throughout the day. The tour company was extremely organized. Their agent met us inside the cruise terminal, took our names, and kept us updated on when the bus would arrive. Even though our tour was scheduled for 9 a.m., the bus arrived early, and the agent personally found us in the market and escorted us to the bus. It was seamless and stress-free. The open-air bus was perfect for the island weather. Even in October, the constant breeze kept us comfortable the entire ride. Our first stop was the Hato Caves, and while waiting for our group to enter, we walked the short nature trail. The rock formations, cacti, and lizards along the path made it well worth the stroll. Inside the caves, groups are divided by language, so everyone gets a tour they can follow easily. The groups were a bit large, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Photography is limited because of the protected bats, but they do allow pictures deeper inside the cave. We’ve toured caves across Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, and Tennessee, but these were unlike any we’ve ever seen, with unique formations, tropical surroundings, and an incredible sense of history. Next, we visited the turtle beach, located beside a small fishing camp. We saw several sea turtles, though they appeared sporadically and the area was a bit crowded. Since we had already seen plenty of turtles in Aruba, we took the chance to snorkel along the coast and were rewarded with an amazing variety of tropical fish. The final stop was a beach with a bar and restaurant, where we spent two relaxing hours. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, as were the beach chairs. We brought our own snorkel gear, which I highly recommend for anyone cruising the ABC islands. Having it ready let us explore every snorkeling opportunity, and this beach turned out to be one of the best for marine variety. I even had a close encounter with a moray eel, which became one of the highlights of the entire trip. This beach was spacious, peaceful, and easy to find a private spot. Honestly, I could have stayed there all day. The tour returned us right on schedule at 4 p.m., giving plenty of time before our ship’s 5 p.m. boarding. Overall, this was an excellent tour for cruisers, well organized, perfectly paced, and a great way to see much of Curaçao in one unforgettable day.

Leo was an amazing tour guide he was very knowledgeable. He knew very good fun facts about Curacao's history and kept us laughing during the whole day. The Hato caves were so fun to see and interesting to learn about. It's warm in there, so be ready to sweat. My only issue with the tour is we didn't get a chance to get off the bus to see the flamingos, you get to see them for like two seconds as your drive past them. The beach ending was so nice. We got to take pictures on a swing in the beach, we ate good food and we lounged in the sun for about 2 hours. Overall, it was really nice. I would totally recommend as cost effective excursion.
