Best tour on the island!!
Lady was my guide and Michelangelo was the driver, they were friendly and funny and attentive. Lady educated us in a friendly and funny way about all of cureceo and kept you transfixed on what she was saying from the history of cureceo to the places we visited. Lady was so great that I would do this tour again and again just to learn all that she knows about this country. I had a wonderful time and was so grateful for the experience!!

We loved every moment.

Best activity on the Island by far!
Michelangelo And Lady were amazing. By far the best activity we did on the island. Lady’s knowledge of the island was phenomenal. My wife and I learned so much about the culture and the people from her tour. Far better than any museum or book. 10/10.

Informative adventure
We had a great time on our tour of turtles and caves. The bus picked us up directly at the resort and was prompt on time. Ledy and Jonnie Walker were a great tour guides that gave us insight to the island and the culture along our tour. They made sure we saw the best stops and best views and even assisted us in sea turtle swimming. The food and ordering process was super simple and our guides insured everything was on time.

A perfect day discovering the best of Curaçao.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a fantastic day with Irie Tours on the Hato Caves, Turtles & Beach Tour! 🐢🌴
From start to finish, everything was so well organised and we felt really well looked after. Our guide Lady was absolutely lovely and really made the day special. She was knowledgeable, friendly and clearly passionate about Curaçao, and added so much to our experience. She was also great when my sister felt a little unwell in the heat for a while. Lisa, our driver, was also lovely — friendly, helpful and a pleasure to spend the day with.
The Hato Caves were fascinating, swimming with the turtles was amazing and we also got to see flamingoes and wild pigs! We loved that the day gave us a great mix of exploring, wildlife, a bit of history and some time to enjoy the island at a slower pace.
My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our day and would happily recommend Irie Tours to anyone visiting Curaçao. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly and well-organised way to see some of the island’s highlights, definitely consider booking with them.
Thank you Lady and Lisa for such a lovely day! 💕🇨🇼

The essence of Curacao, distilled in a one day trip
We just loved loved loved this trip! :) Very family friendly, we managed to do this with a 3 year old, so would recommend it for anyone.Our guides were Liza and Johnny "Bravo/Snoop Dogg": Liza's warm personality and the stories that she told us made the whole trip unforgettable, whilst Johnny drove safely but very time efficiently even on the rougher roads, so we always felt safe and well looked after for. The flamingos are normally in Bonaire during this time of the year, but our guides knew where to look after them so we managed to see a couple in their natural habitat, which was truly magnificent. Our next stop was the Hato caves, which is not like any other caves in Europe, meaning its extremely warm in there, so dont bring jumpers like we did! Around the caves there was a cute little botanical garden and iguanas roamed around us. After this it was time to cool of at Playa Piskado, where we seen lots of frigatebirds, pelicans, fishes, and last but not least, managed to see two sea turtles as well. To finish off our day, we stopped by the "piggy beach", Playa Porto Marie where we seen gorgeous caves, lots of corals and fish and last but not least, pigs and iguanas. It was an unforgettable experience.
