This was a great experience. Our tour guide Jurell was very informative. Relaxing on the beach was nice, bring cash to rent chairs or cabanas on the beach.

    Educational, interesting and knowledgeable --alot of fun. A must see excursion. Recommend to all!!!!

    Nelly was a terrific tour...

    Jeffrey_W, Feb 2026
    Nelly was a terrific tour guide. She kept us entertained and provided all the facts on the tour. We had a great time at both beaches. The turtles made our day.

    So much fun!

    Corey_A, Dec 2025
    Tour guide was amazing. Super engaged and eager to teach about the rich history of the island. This made for such a fun day and great experience.

    Interesting, but a bit misleading.

    Susan_O, Nov 2025
    Nelly, our guide, was wonderful, but the description of the flamingo encounter was not accurate. The picture made it look as if we were going to be much closer to the flamingos. We did not enjoy stopping on a road/bridge with vehicles flying by. If we had not had our own binoculars, it would have been a total bust. We were told the chairs at the beach were a dollar. When we arrived, they were $9 each and we were told they did not have change. Maybe some type of agreement with Cocomo Beach would help. We loved Nelly, our tour guide! She was happy, positive, friendly and obviously loved her country. We really enjoyed our time with her!!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Hi Susan, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Nelly — she is truly passionate about sharing the beauty of Curaçao, and we appreciate your kind words about her. We’re sorry to hear there were aspects of the tour that didn’t meet your expectations, and we’d like to clarify a few points to avoid any confusion for future guests. Our tour description states that beach chairs are not included and that the cost is typically between $6–$10, as pricing is set by Kokomo Beach and can vary. We’re not sure who may have mentioned a $1 price, but we will remind our team to ensure all information provided matches what is listed on our tour page. Regarding the flamingo stop, the flamingos you see are wild and roam freely in their natural habitat. Their distance can vary depending on weather and conditions — sometimes they are very close, and other times they stay further away. This natural variation is also noted in our tour description, but we understand that photos can create expectations. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving the tour for future guests. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Curaçao in the future!

    Great experience

    authentic Arubian Experience

    NaShanna_T, Aug 2025
    Jermel an Keo were alot of fun. They gave us a true authentic Arubian experience from cultural, food to a history lesson of the island. A must do with these guys youll be glad you did..

    Cancelled

    gary_m, Aug 2025
    It cancelled due to lack of participants. I’m on a cruise ship so too late to book something else with our allotted time here. I’m sure it’s fun though.

    Hato cave great experience

    Denise_A, Aug 2025
    Our guides were great. Jurelle and his guide in training were knowledgeable and resourceful. The stops on the tour were perfectly timed and not rushed.

    Very disappointed

    Donna_S, Aug 2025
    Our experience was the fact that it was really disappointing and not very well organised. They had forgotten people from the cruise ship so had to go back from the caves, pick them up and wait for them to view the caves, not that the cave is anything spectacular. Spending what seemed to feel like most of the day on the tour bus we went to the first beach and were very disappointed...snorkling,we expected to see fish and turtles - we found old Tampax and fish guts. The second beach was beautiful. The the tour itself just all felt very off. We couldn't wait to leave.

    One part of tour was not what expected!

    Cristina_L, Aug 2025
    The Cave tour was good! The spot for flamingos was disappointing.. you barely saw the flamingos as they were too far away from the road stop of the tour. I think the word Flamingo shoukd not be in the your name. .

    It was great! Jurell, our guide, was very friendly and courteous. My group learned a lot about the island. We would highly recommend Jurell

    Katy_F, Apr 2025
    Daha and Rio were amazing guides! The cave was astounding, we saw dozens of flamingos, and the beach was beautiful.

    Great tour with variety...

    Barbara_M, Mar 2025
    Great tour with variety of experiences. Cave was interesting, wonderful viewing of wild flamingos in lagoon, and 2 hours of beach time at good snorkeling area.

    Relaxed day

    Felicia_M, Mar 2025
    Titi was a great guide. This was an easy day, and we had a great time. The caves are about 50 steps up and quite hot, so be prepared.

    fantastic tour with nature and beauty

    Michael_W, Feb 2025
    Our day was so much fun! We had an awesome tour of the caves after an informative drive. We learned so much about the island, culture, and saw so much beauty and nature. Our guide. Wima, was so kind and knowledgeable. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a little bit of so many things, and end your tour on a gorgeous beach!

    Great half day tour

    Yuri_T, Feb 2025
    This was a great tour. Titi, our young tour guide was really sweet and personable. Juno our driver was very professional and nice. The Caves were beautiful and the location was nicely organized. Afterward we went to Kokomo, pretty rocky beach but nice for snorkeling. Overall was a really nice outing.

    It was a fun day. The beach was rocky and small but thst has nothing to do with the tour opearstors.

    Avoid this tour!!

    Marcia_M, Feb 2025
    This was a horrible tour. Out tour guide aisha while personable had little knowledge one would expect for tour guide. Could not answer any questions posed to her. The caves were interesting and the cave guide was knowledgeable. Could have just drove to the caves ourself. The salt flats were just a pull over on the side of the road. Again aisha had limited info on this. Last part of the tour was komoho beach which was ultimate tourist trap!!! Definitely not worth the money or time. Should provide more training for your staff learned nothing about the island of curacao from our tour guide

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Hi Marcia, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. To ensure transparency, we provide a detailed itinerary on our website before booking, which includes the names of all the locations we’ll be visiting along with photos. This allows guests to have a clear understanding of the experience they can expect. Our goal is to showcase various aspects of Curacao, and while we understand that some parts of the tour didn’t resonate with you, we regret that the experience fell short of your standards. We also apologize if our guide did not meet your expectations, and we will use your feedback to make improvements in our training. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us, and we will continue working to enhance our tours.

    Ashley_M, Feb 2025
    We had a great time. Our guide worked really hard to make sure we understand his island. We are English speaking and Xavier did an amazing job using his English for our party then speaking in French to the remainder of our party. The food was amazing

    Wina was a wonderful and...

    Shannon_M, Feb 2025
    Wina was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. The caves were interesting, but not as big as I expected and warm inside. Kokomo had great snorkeling right off the beach, but the beach isn’t very big and some chairs show their wear. The restaurant was unexpectedly a plus - great food and drink with lots of seating

    The tour guide/ driver...

    Irina_V, Jan 2025
    The tour guide/ driver was amazing! she was very knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our experience as pleasant and informative as possible.

    A little disappointed

    Isabel_C, Jan 2025
    Although we waited over half an hour at the boat terminal for the other couples our trip got under way. We didnt get to see the flamingos up close but that's no ones fault. Driver was very informative when we were alone but we were unable to hear alot of what she said because the couples ahead of us kept talking. That was a little disappointing since we spent the money for a "tour ". Otherwise a good day.

    Response from Host, Jan 2025

    Dear Isabel, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience. We’re glad to hear that overall, you had a good day and found the driver informative during your time with us. We truly appreciate your patience during the wait at the boat terminal, as timing can sometimes be impacted by unforeseen circumstances. Regarding the flamingos, it’s unfortunate that you weren’t able to see them up close, but we’re grateful for your understanding of the situation. We’re sorry to hear that you had difficulty hearing the driver due to other guests talking. We strive to create an enjoyable experience for everyone, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us find ways to improve. In the future, we’ll remind guests to be mindful of others during the tour to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the information provided. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you on another tour for an even better experience. Best regards, Team Vacation Deals

    We had the best tour guide!

    Our tour guide, Isha (I may be spelling her beautiful name wrong) was amazing. She was joyful, sweet, and very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the tour- the caves were great and the time at the beach was also really nice! Very much recommend!

    cachele_j, Nov 2024
    Sophia was a exceptional tour guide and very informal on the science behind the caves and how they were formed. Lol also a great photographer and nail tech

    Amazing tour! The tour...

    sherita_l, Nov 2024
    Amazing tour! The tour guide was so accommodating and very knowledgeable of the island. He went above and beyond and out of his way to make sure the group enjoyed ourselves. I definitely recommend!

    Great tour

    Serene_L, Nov 2024
    Suena was great, same for the cave tour guide. Would definitely recommend to others. Very accommodating

    Beautiful Kokomo Beach

    cera_g, Oct 2024
    FIRST & MOST IMPORTANT- Our tour guide , Soulie (I am so sorry if I spelled that wrong) was literally phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable & helpful & funny & we loved her so much. We had a small group traveling together for this tour (7) which was really nice. First we went to the caves - this is honestly why the tour is getting 4/5.. the caves left a lot to be desired. You cant take pictures but in 2 designated spots, its hotter than …. in the cave, & it was overly commercialized which was disappointing. After the caves we went to see the flamingos- they were out but on the other side of the lake (nbd). Kokomo beach was great! We were able to eat, drink & relax for a few hours which was awesome. They have little beach cabanas & chairs you can rent, as well as snorkeling equipment. They also have swings that are great for photo ops & a floating dock you can swim out to. We had a great time at the beach & the ride back with Soulie was super informative & interesting to learn all the details about Curaçao.
