Curaçao time - This was really great, getting to see nature in its finest spots. First a drive, in air conditioned van, to the west of the island. Beach was beautiful! Water was perfect, although it’s a little slippery getting into and out of the water. Saw many green sea turtles, swimming with fish. It was incredible to see. Next we were off to find pink flamingos. The first stop didn’t have any, so Anita and the driver set off for another spot. They were there! There was a group of about 35 flamingos out in an area feeding. Really a great day! Anita gave so much info on the island.

Wonderful trip to the turtles - I didn't expect to have a guided tour of the country on the way to see the turtles. Our guide (and driver) were AMAZING. The ride to top of the island was long, but the guide made it entertaining. The turtle area has a small pier, and the guide would stand above the snorkelers to yell out where the turtles were located. It was great! On our way back, we stopped to look at another beautiful beach, and grab a snack, then a quick stop to view the flamingos in the wild. Overall it was a great trip! My two girls, aged 7 & 9, loved it!

Turtles and turquoise waters - This excursion was perfect. Our guide was Anitta an she was fantastic, honestly she made the trip. She had so much knowledge about the island and was so genuine, she really loved her job, the people, the animals.
We were able to see turtles which was the COOLEST thing, and got lucky enough for the flamingos to be grazing as well. The water was beautiful, and really it was only a few hours in the morning which was perfect, still had the whole day once we got done. Book it, you’ll enjoy it so much. There’s also little local treats at the stops, just make sure you bring some cash, including to use the bathroom.

A first for my family - We gain a first exeperience as my children swam with turtles. Anita and janet was amazing in guiding us upon pickup (yes you can request to be pick up without additional charges). They guided on the areas the bus passed giving us more knowledge aswell as prepping us for the turtles. Afterwards we learned about Tula and Willywood before seeing the flamigos. Fully reccomend if you want to have fun and gain knowledge on planation in Curacao.

Great choice but excitement is only for one hour. - Great choice. Had plenty of opportunity to see turtles. The Bus drove over 1 hr from port to get to other side of the island. Group is given 1 hr to snorkel. Bring your own snorkel gear as one provided is really cheap quality (besides, why share mouth pieces? I used it during my entire cruise trip. No need to bring fins) entire length of tour is 4 hrs long (9am until 1 pm drop off at port)
We saw some flamingos but they were so far away (it was nothing exciting)
Seeing turtles were wonderful but I wish there were longer trip with other activities included.

Great guides, but average tour and crowded - The guides were so kind and informative.
This was a really average tour. We spent a lot of time driving to spend only 30 min in the water and 10 min pulled off the side of the road to climb a rickety lookout to see 5 flamingos in the distance. And the beach was super crowded with tourists. The bus was very dated.
