We had the best time with Glenn, our guide! He taught us so much about the history of Curacao and showed us a variety of interesting places during our tour. We loved seeing the flamingos, exploring Hato Cave, and enjoyed our time at the beach. We would highly recommend booking this tour!

Great impressions on Curacao

It was a beautiful tour. First we went to the interesting Hato Cave, then we visited the flamingos. As a bathing stop we went to Kokoma Beach where we could swim for a good 1.5 hours. Finally, our guide Nelly showed us some highlights of Otrabanda. An all-round beautiful excursion

Interesting, but a bit misleading.

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!!

Operator response

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

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.
