Snorkelen met schildpadden en Kenepa Grandi Beach: dagtrip nr.1 op het eiland
Beschrijving
Laat de beste touroperator op het eiland u meenemen op een fascinerende reis naar Playa Grandi; waar u met snorkels in het heldere water kunt duiken om het onderwaterleven te ontdekken, waaronder zeeschildpadden. Ontdek de verbazingwekkende en verbluffende onderwaterwereld van Curaçao. Bezoek vervolgens het beroemde Grote Knip-strand om nog meer te zwemmen of snorkelen. Dit is een van de mooiste stranden op het eiland met zijn azuurblauwe zee. Het is ook het meest gefotografeerde strand. Neem vervolgens even de tijd om de wilde flamingo's te bewonderen bij Landhuis Jan Kok, waar deze vrijlevende vogels sierlijk het gebied bewonen. Dit is een fotostop vanaf de bus. Na deze geweldige strandervaring brengen onze professionele gids en chauffeur u op tijd terug naar uw hotel of schip. Opmerkingen: Er kunnen lichte stromingen optreden, het kan winderig zijn en soms zijn er golven. Het strand kan rotsachtig zijn, waardoor het wat moeilijker kan zijn om de zee in te gaan. Het is aan te raden om waterschoenen en een onderwatercamera mee te nemen.

The tour is advertised as snorkeling with turtles. In fact, we only had 40 minutes at the beach with the turtles. We saw turtles, which was great, and we would have liked to stay there longer. At the 2nd beach, we then had 90 minutes. However, it was completely overcrowded, you couldn't see anything in the water, and there were jellyfish remains there. Not a turtle in sight.
Bob was awesome. Get him for your guide.
Our guide Anita was absolutely great. She was very funny too, really made our trip fun. Turtles were amazing,and the cove she took us to was amazing
Thank you for the kind review! We will pass on to Anita the compliment! Hope to see you back soon on Curacao!
We visited Playa Piskado (Playa Grandi) to snorkel with the sea turtles, and it is cool to see them up close. The fishermen were tossing fish guts into the water, which definitely attracts the turtles — amazing for photos, but also a bit smelly. There was also a man walking around with a sign aggressively asking people for money, which took away from the vibe. Chair rentals run $15 USD, and you only get about an hour here before moving on to Kenepa Grandi. Kenepa Grandi was lovely. The water is unbelievably clear, calm, and full of beautiful fish. It’s one of those beaches that looks exactly like the postcards — bright turquoise water and perfect swimming conditions. Also, only an hour here. The majority of the time was spent on the bus, with about a 45 min. drive each way. Bring your own snorkel! 🫠
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed seeing the sea turtles up close at Playa Piskado and experiencing the postcard-perfect, turquoise waters of Kenepa Grandi. We also appreciate your honest notes regarding the smell from the fishing activity and the aggressive solicitor at the first stop. feedback like this helps us monitor local conditions to better prepare future guests. We also take note of your comments regarding the travel-to-beach time ratio. Because these beautiful beaches are located on the quieter, scenic northern end of the island, the drive does take about 45 minutes each way. Your practical tips about the $15 chair rentals and bringing your own snorkel gear will be incredibly helpful for other travelers. Thank you again for choosing to explore Curaçao with us!
Our excursion was absolutely unforgettable, and a huge part of that was because of Ms. Anita. From the moment we met her, she treated my husband and me like family. Her warmth, kindness, and genuine care made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and valued throughout the entire experience. Ms. Anita went above and beyond to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves, answering questions, sharing her knowledge, and attending to every detail with a smile. Her passion for what she does shines through in every interaction, and it truly elevated our excursion from great to exceptional. If you have the opportunity to tour with Ms. Anita, consider yourself lucky. She is not only an outstanding guide but also a beautiful person who makes every guest feel special. Thank you, Ms. Anita, for your hospitality, care, and for creating memories that my husband and I will cherish forever!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your beautifully detailed feedback with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your excursion was unforgettable, and we love knowing that Ms. Anita made you and your husband feel like family from the very start. Her passion, warmth, and genuine care truly represent the high standards of hospitality we strive for. We will be sure to pass along your touching praise to her—it will mean the world to her to know she made such a lasting impact on your trip!
A couple of things. First, it’s a LONG drives. Good news is the tour guide was awesome and told a very detailed history of the island nation. It was at times funny and sad, but always fascinating. The second thing is a lot of people do this excursion and the beach is crowded. You still see turtles (I had two come up right beside me and didn’t realize it until I saw them) and we were able to get some great pictures and video. So as a whole, it’s a good experience.
Thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed our guide's fascinating island history and had those amazing up-close turtle encounters! Since the best turtle beaches are on the remote northern end of the island, the drive does take some time, and they are very popular spots. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again!
This was a great experience!!! The staff was amazing!!! It was so much fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone 😊!!!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had so much fun and that our amazing staff made it such a great experience. Your high recommendation means the world to us, and we cannot wait to welcome you back for another fun adventure!
We had a great time. The tour guide was amazing. We actually swam with turtles and saw the flamingos in their habitat. Got to taste local food and drinks at the beaches.
Thank you! Come back and visit us soon!
Excellent tour, especially for the cost. The flamingos were a thing of beauty, though further away in the distance. The Turtles. Were. Majestic.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it to be a great value. The flamingos are truly a beautiful sight, even from a distance, and we're glad you had the opportunity to see them in their natural habitat. And yes the turtles really are majestic! Watching these incredible creatures up close is one of the highlights of the tour, and we're happy that experience made such an impression on you. Thank you for choosing Samurai Curaçao. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable island adventure soon!
Anita was friendly and very informative - there wasn't a dull moment on the journey. My dismay comes from the snorkeling activity and the flamingos were going to see. We visited a spot with 1 turtle and there were 0 flamingos about. Of course, this is not within the guide's control but it was very disappointing
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that Anita made the journey enjoyable and informative. She is passionate about sharing Curaçao's culture, history, and natural beauty, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words. We are sorry to hear that the wildlife sightings did not fully meet your expectations. As you mentioned, flamingos and sea turtles are wild animals in their natural habitat, and unfortunately their presence and numbers can vary from day to day. While we regularly see multiple turtles and flamingos during our tours, we cannot guarantee how many will be present at any given time. We appreciate your understanding that this is beyond our guide's control, and we are grateful that you still enjoyed the experience and the information provided throughout the tour. Thank you for choosing Samurai Curaçao, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to the island in the future.
