Beautiful beaches but bring shoes!

Erin_G, Mar 2026

The beaches were absolutely beautiful! Definitely bring water shoes though because it’s rocky! The turtles were so cool, but we only were able to spend 30min there when we were under the impression it would be an hour based on the description of the tour. We were provided snorkel gear but one of the mouth pieces had dried blood on it and we were told to just take a different one and put it back in the bag so that kind of grossed out most of our group from using the equipment.

Not recommended!

Ann_N, Apr 2025

So, I put that we were coming in on a cruise, and sadly, I put the day before we actually arrived a day late. Granted, this is my fault, however, those in the business know exactly when each ship arrives, the times, ports, etc....So they are prepared for mistakes. Anyhow, I talked to Viator/or the company and they did get someone there to take us for an additional $75, like I said, I know this was my fault Once we began the tour, the translator began telling us about the history of the island, et cetera. He was good at this. Once we arrived to "swim with the sea turtles" we were at a beach that was a bit mucky, nothing like the pictures I had seen. He told us that it was a public beach and on the side of the beach, men are cleaning fish and throwing everything in where you are supposed to swim at. (This is how they attract the sea turtles.) Also, remember to bring your own snorkel gear or rent some from the area. Our guide told us that we had an hour or so swim and see the turtles. There were several people there and in the ocean, however, there was no sea turtles. Had there been, I am unsure if you could have seen them, like it shows in the photos. (It could have been the day or the weather, or the time of day.) After a few minutes, we asked if they could just take us to a beach that "swimming with the sea turtles" was just not what we had done in the past. He told us he would take us to the best beach on the island. Once we arrived, it was pretty but take cash so you can rent chairs and take good shoes. It hurt to walk because of the coral in and on the beach. It cuts your feet. After a few minutes, my group decided that we would rather just shop and look around town. We had about three hours, so the tour guide took us into town. Some of the group asked if they could take us by the rum factory and he told us "NO". We asked him to take us into town (across from the port) and they would not. They did drop us off back at the port and we had an hour and half to walk through the shopping district. Overall, the island was beautiful, and the shopping district across from the port was nice. However, I would not recommend the sea turtles and beach. This was the sentiment of my whole group. I do appreciate that the tour operator was able to correct my mistake of the wrong day for an additional $75 and the gentleman (owners former mother in law) was friendly and knew the island.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Ann, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback on the Curacao Sea Turtle Swim and West Side Natural Highlights tour. While we’re pleased to hear that you found our staff friendly and knowledgeable and appreciated the island’s beauty, we regret that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We’d like to start by acknowledging your transparency regarding the mix-up with your tour date. As you mentioned, we made every effort to accommodate your arrival—even at short notice—by dispatching a team and vehicle to ensure you didn’t miss out on your tour. We truly appreciate your understanding of the additional costs associated with that same-day adjustment. Regarding the turtle swim portion of the tour: the beach we visit is a natural habitat, not a controlled or staged environment. The presence and visibility of sea turtles can vary significantly depending on weather, time of day, sea conditions, and other environmental factors. Unfortunately, on the day of your tour, visibility was lower than usual, which limited the experience. Nonetheless, our team went beyond the planned itinerary, taking you to a second beach to make the experience more enjoyable—a gesture we hope demonstrated our commitment to guest satisfaction. As for the request to visit the rum factory or a stop across from the port, we do our best to accommodate reasonable changes when time and logistics allow. However, certain locations fall outside the authorized or feasible routing for the day, particularly when operating under adjusted schedules or reduced daylight hours. We appreciate your recognition of our guide's hospitality and knowledge, and we’re genuinely sorry the experience didn’t fully reflect the expectations set by promotional materials. Your feedback helps us continue improving the way we communicate and manage expectations around nature-based excursions. Thank you again for touring with us, and we hope to have another opportunity to welcome you in the future under more ideal conditions. Warm regards,

Turtles in Curacao .

Curacao is Beautiful!

Jennifer_O, Jan 2023

We loved this tour! There were only 4 people on the tour and the tour guide Francisco. Shete Boka was beautiful! We went to 2 beaches. The first I was able to rent snorkel equipment. The second one was very busy but pretty. We had lunch at a local place called Playa Forti Bar. It was nice to have a small group. Curacao is beautiful!

Schöner Ausflug

Jaqueline_G, Mar 2024

Toller Ausflug. Das an dem Tag 3 Schiffe da waren und somit alles total überfüllt, kann ja keiner was für. Schade war das angebliche schwimmen mit Schildkröten. Hier wurden von einem Steg aus Schildkröten angelockt und festgehalten. Fanden wir überhaupt nicht gut. Ein paar Meter weiter konnten wir die tollen Tiere frei beobachten.
