Turtles and Touring - We didn't see a lot of turtles, but the tour given by Patricia and Zive was excellent! Great overall excursion. Would do it again when in Curacao.

Absolutely Unforgettable Experience! - This sea turtle excursion was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. It started with a scenic drive where we learned a bit about the country’s history and stopped at some incredible photo spots—such a thoughtful way to begin the adventure. Once we got to the water, the real magic happened. It might sound unbelievable, but it truly felt like we had our own sea turtle. Patrick, the guide (and what we now call the sea turtle whisperer), made the entire experience personal and unforgettable. He knew exactly where to go and made sure everyone got up close in the most respectful way. Patrick also took high-quality photos—free of charge—which was such a nice bonus. No pressure, no extra fees, just a genuine desire to make the day special. We wrapped it all up at a stunning beach that felt like a perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you for an amazing time. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for something unique, peaceful, and truly memorable.

Awesome Experience! - We had such a great time! Patrick is amazing!! He swam out and brought 2 Sea Turtles closer to shore so that the not so good swimmers were also able to experience snorkeling with the Sea Turtles in shallow water. He got great pictures of everyone on his go pro and sent everyone the pictures for free! Patrick & Eddy both did a great job giving us the history of the Island. I definitely recommend this excursion!!

We were a little afraid... - We were a little afraid to go out into the ocean in the beginning, Patrick ended up bringing us a turtle closer to shallow waters where we were and then we started getting the hang of how to float with the life vest and use the snorkel equipment Patrick provided and we were able to go out further with Patrick and the rest of the group. He talked about the background and history of Curaçao and showed us different things on the way to the beach (he provides transportation as well). We stopped at 3 different beaches and even a few of Curaçao’s most important places. The sea turtles also love him! It was amazing and so was he. Highly recommend! It was 100% worth it.

Memorable experience - Had a great time with Patrick and Eddie. Loved the information about the island they provided as we drove from place to place. He also provided his GoPro pictures immediately after the last stop. They were fantastic. Wish we saw more turtles but understand it depends on time of year and day. Still see plenty and it was a memorable experience I am so glad we did it.

You get up close to sea... - You get up close to sea turtles and the guides are knowledgable and take good care of you. The location to see them is a fishing harbor, and it is very popular. They provide awesome, FREE photos of you and the turtles :-)

Not What We Expected… - This experience was more of a driving tour and beach day than a swimming with turtles excursion. We had to go to a different, more secluded beach because the other beach was too busy - we had to pivot from the itinerary explained here. We drove about an hour north, spent about an hour on the beach swimming (no turtles) then drove back south an hour to go to the turtle beach. I think it would have been a better experience if the beaches were closer together and less time spent in the car. Just be prepared to spend more time in the car than you may think. Also, we were picked up at 915am from our hotel and got back at 230pm, making it more like a 5.5 hour experience than a 4 hour. Jeremia was a great tour guide and we appreciated his information sharing and kindness.

Save your money. Dont bring children - Very disappointed. Traveled with my family. Not sure why they even offer tickets for children because they certainly did not want them there. Chaotic pickup at the port, due in part to a gate closing but also due to the lack of communication from the staff about the alternative pick up site. Once at the beach, there were not enough life vest/pool noodles/ goggles for everyone. Very disorganized—I assumed they knew how many guests had purchased the tour and would have brought the appropriate number of equipment. We brought our child’s floatie, and thank goodness we did. The snorkel vests that 2 of us received did not stay inflated so we stayed close to shore, did not see any turtles. Neither guide offered any assistance or even said anything about us not being able to participate. Patrick never acknowledged us. We didn’t see any turtles or flamingos. During travel time, Eddie went into a rant narrative and started using words like “f***” and bulls***”. Not very professional. Eddie also asked repeatedly rude things about our child with autism. He asked things like that’s wrong with her” and “what happened to her?” At the end of the tour, Patrick was upset about “missing googles”. He asked me to check my beach bag while he stood there. We felt like he thought we had stolen them. Apparently Patrick rents the equipment—doesn’t own them-which is confusing since he operates his own company. The whole trip was a disaster and waste of money and time.
