We initially signed up... - We initially signed up for this tour but were offered an upgrade to another tour as our original tour did not have enough people signed up. We were so grateful for this because we had the BEST day! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the island that we never would have gotten on our own. We got to see so much wildlife between the flamingos, sea turtles, birds and fish. It was one of the best days we had on the island. One nice thing about this experience is you can participate to your comfort level - for example, some of the people on our tour preferred to hang out on the beach while others went snorkeling with sea turtles. Our tour guide went above and beyond for us all day - sharing stories about the island and even making sure our belongings were covered when it started raining while we were snorkeling. We barely noticed the rain because we were having such a good time! We also liked that we were able to borrow snorkeling equipment throughout the day. Highly recommend!!

Anita with Samurai Tours A++ - Swimming with turtles and snorkeling with Anita in Curaçao was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip. Anita is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the ocean and marine life. She made everyone feel comfortable and safe, whether it was your first time snorkeling or you were more experienced. We saw multiple sea turtles up close, along with beautiful fish and coral, and Anita took the time to point things out and share interesting facts without ever making it feel rushed. The experience felt personal, well-organized, and respectful of the environment. If you’re visiting Curaçao, this tour is an absolute must. Swimming with turtles in crystal-clear water while being guided by someone who truly loves what she does is unforgettable. Highly recommend!

10/10 Great Tour - Our cruise ship was behind and they messaged us with updates to make sure our experience was smooth and stress free. The tour itself was amazing! Anita was wonderful and the beach they took us to wasn’t packed like other beaches. We got to swim up close with turtles and the cave was also great.

Turtle snorkeling in Curacao 2025 - The open air school bus was what we used to travel to three stops. Recommended water shoes for the shells and coral can be unpleasant upon entry into water. Guide (Emma) was great and very informative and bus driver (Johnny) was super kind! Water was clear and the turtles were super friendly and would swim right up to you, there also was enough space to snorkel so that people were not right on top of one another. Overall great experience would absolutely recommend!

Almost there. - Confused having 2 guides. The driver was very knowledgeable about the history of the island. The other guide added information here or there. No one in the water when swimming and finding the turtles.

Few turtles but excellent snorkeling. - Excellent work from Anita and Victor. Unfortunately, there were few turtles. Looks like someone's feeding them, which you don't have to do and it's keeping them away from the beach.

It was a bus tour to some... - It was a bus tour to some beautiful places on the island, both are public beaches. Anita was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. If you have a car, you may not need to take this tour, but if you choose not to rent a vehicle, this is a lovely way to see the island.

The tour was very well... - The tour was very well run with both the driver and guide excellent. The snorkelling with the sea turtles was awesome . However the next stop Knipp beach was not so good. Whilst the water was clear and looked beautiful the beach and surrounding area was littered with rubbish and there were no toilets - hence the 4 stars
