Great experience. Caves are beautiful and you can swim with large turtles! You will also see flamingos in the wild.
The tour guy was a bit rude, the 1st hour his mic did not work, I was seating at the back and could not hear anything, and that did not seem to borther him. He fixed his mic one hour later!!! I just did like his attitude, and his racistes jokes were not welcomed !
Tania was great!! Great description of history and life on Curaçao! Was disappointed with “snorkeling with turtles”; not at all as described in the tour!! Very crowded and the few turtles were only next to pier and shore. Snorkel equipment was dirty and clearly had not been sanitized or even cleaned. Was very old and not really usable
