Island Treasures: Caves, Turtles and Turquoise Beach Break

This is a fun tour with the cave portion being the most interesting. They are crazy hot but super interesting and the guides are really highly qualified when they provide the briefings. I will say that the "swim with turtles" portion is under-whelming because, well, it is nature and they turn up if they feel like it. Only one turtle was seen and the location was not so much a "turtle location" but a beach location where some turtles might show up. Anita, our guide, was really well informed and very free with sharing her knowledge and answering questions.

The caves experience was amazing to see and hear the history on how the caves were formed. The snorkeling with turtles was absolutely incredible and stunning! It was easy to see all of the beautiful sea creatures at this adventure. To top it all off, Anita the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, pleasant and provided so much additional context during transport.

Guide was incredible, bus was comfortable and air conditioned. Snorkel equipment did not include fins. Final beach stop was expensive with paid beach chairs and pricy food.

Great experience! Especially the beach area, the view is magnificent. For the turtles you have to venture out, but everything is well explained.

Took this tour because a friend who recently took it recommended it. Now that we've done it ourselves, we HIGHLY recommend it. Our tour guide, Naomi, was excellent, and everything was wonderful!

Let’s see where to start, we booked this because we wanted to do the cave tour and thought the snorkeling with turtles might be fun also, didn’t care about the beach much. 21 hours BEFORE our excursion they reached out to us and said they were changing our itinerary and cutting out the caves completely and claimed it was because of our all aboard time yet we were only supposed to spend an hour and the caves and it was only an extra 20 minutes drive total, when we got dropped off we had a little over 2 hours left until all aboard, safe to say time wasn’t a problem. No instead they themselves told me it was because everyone else or most of the other people didn’t booked the excursion that included the caves so they decided to switch ours to work with every else instead of doing 2 separate tours which is what they were offering. When they informed us I asked if we could do a full refund since it was them who didn’t give us 24 hours notice which if they had we would’ve cancelled though here for free. They only offered us a 1/3 refund if we cancelled, NOT EVEN HALF, for them changing the itinerary to fit their own needs. All they offered us was a $10 refund for not doing the caves. I 100% believe they knew they were switching our tour and intentionally didn’t give us enough notice to cancel with full refund. In addition they advertise a “snack” is provided on this tour, we didn’t receive a snack at all.

6Such an amazing experience from start to finish! We explored the beautiful caves, went snorkeling with the most beautiful turtles, and had the chance to see so much of Curaçao. Our guide was incredibly calm, friendly, and knowledgeable, giving us an amazing tour almost all around the island, all the way to the very last point. We also had time to relax on the beach, enjoy some delicious food, and simply take in the beauty of Curaçao. Everything was well organized, fun, and truly memorable. Definitely an experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Curaçao! 💙🌊

From start to finish this was a great experience. Anita, our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about Curacao and its history. She was funny, and kind and made the long day enjoyable. She is very passionate about sea turtles. She took us to a great location to snorkel, which was free from crowds and we all got to see and swim with several turtles. The cave visit was short and also interesting. The beach time was nice as well, with a nice seaside restaurant and bar to have lunch. There were floating docks that you could win out to and dive off. Our older kids really enjoyed that. Just remember to bring water shoes. I made due without them, but the snorkel spot and beach were both very rocky. Highly recommend this tour for families!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend for anyone! Our boys 10 and 13 years old were absolutely amazed by the caves and the turtles. Last stop at the beach was great, and the food was a bit pricey, but delicious.

The tour was well organized. Our tour guide did a good job with giving us some interesting background info on Curacao. The sand at the beach was quite painful to walk on when trying to get into the water. Would 100% recommend getting water shoes for this excursion. The Hato caves were a bit smaller than I thought it was going to be, but the kids thought it was cool that there were bats inside.
