Don’t miss the west side of the island! - It’s hard to pick a favorite stop! The national Park was gorgeous. Shows another part of the island. Not just beaches. Swimming with the turtles was an awesome experience. The clear water and silky sand were unbelievable at Kenepa beach. Snorkeled there too!
Our guide was wonderful. Fun and knowledgeable. Loved her !

Amazing, Informative, & Flexible Tour - Amazing tour, very informative, flexible and door to door pick up and drop off!!!
Our personal tour guide / driver was Jaentree. She is sweet, amazing and professional. She was very accommodating to our specific wants and needs throughout the tour. She is a true native to the island with a vast knowledge of the history, culture and fun facts of Curacao. Its a great half day trip, with amazing views of the beautiful north west side of the island. Its definitely a nature lovers tour and highly recommended!!!

Perfect Day with Patricia! - Our tour guide was Patricia, and she was amazing. She was an expert on history, culture, and nature on the tour. She even taught us some new words! Blauw Blauw is the name of the endemic lizard on the island. She taught us about the dangerous but beautiful Manchineel Tree. We visited the flamingos, beautiful limestone cliffs with huge waves, the swim with the turtles' beach and Grote Knip/Playa Kenepa Grandi Beach.
When we started in the morning, she stopped to grab a breakfast snack like hot pockets! Get the cheese, it was delicious! There are places to grab some snack food at Playa Grandi (the turtle beach), and at Grote Knip. There was a good smoothie place at Grote Knip, and you could cliff jump at that beautiful beach as well.
At the end of our tour, she dropped us in downtown Willemstad to go see the floating bridge and beautiful architecture. We walked back to our cruise ship after that. A wonderful day of beautiful landscapes, animals, culture, and conversations with Patricia.
If you arrive on a cruise, it is a little tricky to find the pickup location, I believe it was Pier 1 gate 2. Our boat Odessey of the Seas arrived at Pier 2 so it took some asking of the people working at the counters on the piers to find our way. Highly recommend this tour if you enjoy history, nature, and landscapes. Great photo opportunities.

Animals, Plants, Beautiful Landscapes, and Architecture - Our tour was with Patricia and it was fantastic! She took us on our adventure and stopped for a quick breakfast snack at a local place. We got these little breakfast pockets, get the cheese, it’s wonderful!
We went to Shete Boka National Park to Pistol Beach to view the gorgeous limestone sea cliffs. I could have stayed all day watching the waves come in and splash up onto the cliffs. There were the endemic island lizards there called Blauw-Blauw.
We then went to see the sea cave but it was closed because of sea grass in the cave. Still beautiful area and got educated on the deadly Manchineel Trees!
We then went to see the flamingos, they were beautiful in the wild.
Onto Grote Knip/Playa Kenepa Grandi, one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen! You could even jump off the cliffs there.
We swam with sea turtles at Playa Grandi. They have snack vendors there and a few at Grote Knip as well.
Patricia was very well educated on the island, nature, culture and history as she drives and tells you all about it. At the end of the day she dropped us in downtown Willemstad to see the floating bridge and walk around to take photos of the beautiful architecture and murals on the buildings. She also brought a cooler with waters!

Very entertaining - We had a lot of fun on this tour. Little Larry was very entertaining. I would recommend this tour just for the beach and blowhole alone.

Beautiful experience - Our tour lady had lots of patience with my family of 5 including a 3 year old. She was friendly, knowledgable of the beautiful places we visited, always making sure we were comfortable and engaging. She was fun and it was obvious she truly loved her island. I’m glad we booked this tour it was a great experience. Thank you

Fun and educational excursion - The beach we went to. The blow hole was pretty fun to see. Little Larry was very knowledgeable. Needs to do a better job of directing people from the cruise ship where to meet him. Eventually we found someone who knew Little Larry and got to the correct location.
