Great excursion for everyone - The trip was amazing! Captain Sam and crew gave us a great experience. We had a ride of our lives and we enjoyed everything. He stoped at many beautiful beaches totally tell us what they were called even if we weren’t stopping to swim at them. Everything was a blast!

Awesome Thrill Ride through Beautiful Blue Waters - We had an AMAZING time on this trip with Captain Sam and team! The crew is super chill and helpful. The vibes are immaculate. They provide masks/snorkels, a float noodle, and unlimited drinks for the duration of your trip. They also offered free underwater phone cases if you forget yours. Two of the stops are absolutely beautiful - the blue cave and the beach stop. Some of the clearest, most beautiful water you will ever see. Is it top tier, grade A snorkeling like on Bonaire (in terms of sea life), probably not, but it is beautiful and you will see some fish. The third stop to see the turtles is a lot more commercialized and there was a fair amount of drama between some of the locals about how to behave around the turtles, but that's just the nature of the location and not the fault of this tour. There certainly are plenty of turtles (and fish... and pelicans...) and you get to see them up close and personal.
To be honest, for me the biggest highlight of this trip is all about the thrilling boat ride. If I had one criticism, the staff and the listing probably don't do a good enough job explaining how adventurous the ride back to the dock is going to be. We were seated in the front row and we were repeatedly getting hangtime going over the waves, and we were sore the next day from holding ourselves in the seats, but holy cow was it an absolute ton of fun. Sam did an awesome job navigating the rough waters and it was such a thrill from start to finish (about one hour ride each way). This is not the tour for the elderly or the disabled, but if you are younger (or young at heart) and looking for a thrilling adventure with beautiful sights and a roller coaster of a ride back to port, I could not recommend this more highly. We were so glad we chose this tour. Final tip - make sure you identify the small dock where this tour departs from; it is a little tricky to find, but once there, it will be clear you are in the right place!

Recommended, best excursion of Curaçao !!! - The boat was a big fast speedboat which was an experience in itself. Nice drinks and music on board and a friendly captain and his crew. Spotted many flying fish along the way. While snorkeling I saw beautiful colored fish and of course the turtles at the beach. Also the Blue Room Cave was cool! A beautiful blue cave that can only be reached by water. The crew was extremely helpful in this too. In short, we had a great day and think it is definitely recommended to do!

Don’t bring grandma. - Extreme thrill seekers only and I’m serious! This boat is going to beat the absolute snot out of you and is not for the faint of heart, those with back/neck problems, or people looking for a casual relaxed boat ride. The sea you will go through is rough. Period. At times we were splitting 6 to 8 foot waves and crashing down between them. For our group… It was awesome! For the family with a 10-year-old and grandma in tow… Not so much. Bring your own snorkel gear if can, fins will be helpful at the blue room, the current is strong and my thighs were tired. If you’re not a good swimmer this is not the trip for you. If you want the thrill and possibility of peeing yourself… this is your jam. Totally had a blast! We had a DJI Action Cam and got incredible turtle vids. Away from the shore/dock - the water is super clear and they aren’t afraid of you - they will swim very close. Captain T was great and knew how to handle the waves and the boat - and even being a thrill seeker I was nervous a few times because the waves got fairly intense in certain parts. He was cool calm collected and I felt safe with him driving.

Turtles and more! - This was a fun trip. We liked that it is a small group that you are with. You make three stops. It is an hour boat ride to stop one, Blue Cave. The tide was out for us, so we didn’t have to dive down to get into the cave. It is a quick photo op stop. There isn’t a place to hang out in the cave. It is a very pretty blue. The second stop is to swim with the sea turtles. We got some great videos! It was crowded at the turtle stop, but we had a great experience. The last stop is at a beautiful beach to hang out. The water is just amazing. The trip back was VERY rough. The trip is 5 hours. You do not snorkel at any reefs. Bring snacks. Snacks and lunch are not included. The guide did run out of rum. Maybe that was more of a reflection of our group… We had a great experience and highly recommend the trip.
