Perfect excursion before leaving
The excursion is perfect to do before leaving the island, since it is right next to the airport. The experience was a 10 since all the people who work in this activity do their job to perfection.

Great experience and our...
Great experience and our tour guide (Lilly) was very informative! The caves are a must-see and the beach is beautiful!

Overall the tour was ok
The places we visited were beautiful, and our guide was very kind and friendly. However, she seemed inexperienced, and some of the information she provided was confusing or inaccurate. For example, she would often tell us to look to the right when the attraction was actually on the left. We also had to verify some of the facts she shared, including claims about caimans and other wildlife being present in Curaçao. Overall, the tour was okay, but the value for the money was only average. I expected to learn more about Curaçao’s history and hear more interesting facts throughout the tour. For these reasons, I am giving the experience three stars.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the locations visited and found your guide kind and friendly. We are sorry, however, that the commentary did not meet your expectations. Our Eco & Wildlife Tour is designed primarily around experiencing Curaçao’s natural scenery, wildlife areas, and selected island highlights rather than providing an in-depth historical tour. Historical and cultural information is included along the journey, but it is not intended to be the main focus of this particular experience. Regarding directions such as looking left or right, sightseeing from a moving vehicle can occasionally make these references confusing depending on the vehicle’s position, direction of travel, and where guests are seated. Nevertheless, we appreciate this feedback and will reinforce clearer communication with our guides. We also take comments regarding factual information seriously and continuously review the information our guides provide to guests as part of our training process. We appreciate your recognition of the beautiful locations and the friendliness of our guide, and we are sorry that the overall experience did not provide the level of detail you personally expected.

A little bit of everything
The cave was such an interesting experience. We learned so much about how they form, what affects them today and even saw some small fruit bats. The flamingos were temperamental so we didn't get to see any up close so that was disappointing but that wasn't on the tour guide. The beach was worth the trip ;the water was an amazing and even close to the shore you could see fish.

Great tour!
Mr. Glen was very helpful and informative! I’ve been living here for a while and he told us things even I didn’t know! Waking up early and figuring out the pick up spot was a little inconvenient for us, but otherwise we had a great time. This trip takes about half the day, but it’s a great way to see a lot of the island in a short amount of time!

Experience
Excellent service!!! Our driver was very kind and attentive. We had an issue with the hotel and he stayed with us until the situation was resolved. They gave us a lot of peace of mind and it demonstrates their commitment to the passengers. We are very grateful for your help and we totally recommend it. Thank you!

True representation of authentic Curaçao. We enjoyed the caves. The flamingos do their own thing but we caught a glimpse of them. The beach was fun.

Dissapointed
Would recommend this tour for cruise passengers not worth it if youre staying on island for couple of days..the cave was ehh ok..flamingos apparently was a hit or miss..you stop by the side of the road too see "if" theyre in the pond...i kid you not..
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that different guests may have different expectations depending on whether they are visiting Curaçao for one day by cruise or staying on the island for several days. This tour is designed to give guests a convenient way to experience several highlights in one organized itinerary, including Hato Caves, the flamingo viewing area, and beach time. The flamingos are in their natural habitat, so sightings and how close they are to the viewing area can vary by day. For that reason, we describe this as a natural viewing stop rather than a guaranteed close-up wildlife encounter. We are sorry the venues did not fully meet your expectations, but we appreciate you recognizing that the tour can be a good option for cruise passengers looking to see multiple locations in a limited amount of time.
