We had to end up taking another tour d/t this one was cancelled. They notified me in the app, and made sure to communicate everything with me. They set me up with another excursion and we had a blast. Leo our tour guide was great!

Fun on the beach and cliff diving!

Kevin_L, Jan 2026

We ended up having to cancel the blue tortoise tour, due to weather, but they offered us the west coast beach tour as a substitute and it was great. Leo was very informative and they were attentive with the cruise schedule and getting us around in a timely manner, great tour!

Really great tour and...

Really great tour and would recommend to others. We saw some really amazing beaches, learnt a lot about the island from the really knowledgeable tour guide, and saw turtles. We were also cruise ship guests and the tour guide and driver were very aware of our all aboard time and ensured we were back to the cruise port with plenty of time. They provided clear instructions on where to meet at the start of the tour too.

The tour guide and driver were very fun and interactive. The beaches were beautiful but shore was rocky at all 3 beaches. We didn't see or swim with any sea turtles which was the whole reason why we booked the excursion. It was disappointing. The countryside is beautiful and the roads wind around a lot so take Dramamine if you get car sick!

Curaçao Fun day!

Great time - visiting a number of beautiful beaches! Friendly tour guide. Times at each spot were short, however that’s what is called out in the itinerary. Swimming the turtle was ok not great. But again it is just as it is described.

Lisa_F, May 2025

Nellie was the best tour guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We were the only two people on the tour so if felt like our own private tour. Would recommend this.

Great Host and Tour

David_W, Mar 2025

Our travel guide was from the island and so fun and helpful. We had a blast. She really helped us understand how the local guy at the Turtle Experience "The Turtle Whisperer" was a little different and what to expect. Had two turtles swim over our laps while he fed them. The water was so beautiful . We would do it again. Great tour.

Suena is the Best tour guide!!!

Brandolyn_S, Mar 2025

This was one of our best excursions ever! Suena is the absolute BEST tour guide you can ask for!!! Such a sweet, kind, person who went above and beyond to make our experience in Curaco the best if could be! Definitely would recommend booking her for your time in Curaco! We will be using her again on our next trip!!!

Great experience

David_F, Jan 2025

This was a great tour. We went to several stops and some very nice beaches. We snorkeled and swam with turtles and our guide was excellent. She filled us in on some local things that were very interesting during the ride. I would strongly recommend this!

Highly recommended.!!

Karrie_R, Jan 2025

Our tour and tour guide was fabulous. Os (sp?) shared his extensive knowledge of the history of Curacao. It was fascinating. He was totally in tune with what we wanted out of our excursion. He was pleasant, funny and kind. We saw so many turtles and great beaches. We swam and snorkeled and saw historical buildings and lands. Thank you for the best day of our entire vacation

Isha made our day in 🇨🇼

Suzy_R, Jan 2025

We had a great time with Isha and Kelvin on the beach hopping tour. The beaches were stunning and our only wish was to stay a little longer at each of them. Isha was a great host and very enraging with a sunny personality and smile. Thank you for an amazing day in Curaçao. 💗

Great day out - beaches, sealife, birdlife!

Jubin_C, Dec 2024

Great drive in an amazing bus through the country-side. Get to see the flamingoes, toucans and other birdlife along the way. 3 of the best beaches ever! Also the best guide!

Great tour of Curacao beaches

Christina_P, Dec 2024

We did this tour as a day trip on a cruise in Curacao. We ended up being the only ones on the tour, so basically had a private van tour, which was great for our family of 5. We went to 3 beaches- Playa Kalki which was a small beach with a lot of dead coral washed up on the beach. I kind of wondered why we went to this beach, until I got in the water and went snorkeling. Fantastic snorkeling!!! Next we went to Playa Piskado which is known for having turtles. I didn't realize what a tourist trap this beach would be. There are several turtles that seem to be there because they are fed. There were tons of tourists snorkeling to see the turtles. It was fun to see the turtles and my kids adored this experience, but it seemed a bit busy and that the turtles were only there because they were fed. Last of all we went to Playa Knip. This was our absolute favorite beach. We only had 20 minutes here but because our driver and guide didn't have another tour after us they ended up letting us stay for almost an hour and go well over our tour end time. Super kind of them!!! This beach is absolutely gorgeous. You almost feel like you're in a pool with how clear the water is and the smooth bottom. My kids and I had a great time jumping off some cliffs near this beach. Definitely request to spend the most time here if you have a choice. On the way back, we stopped to see the flamingos. This tour was exactly as described. Our guide Julie was very informative about the island and even took pictures of us in the water with the turtles for us. She was wonderful. We'd do this tour again and recommend it to anyone wanting to see the beaches of Curacao.
