Sea turtles, sunshine, and laughs - Patrick and Sexy Eddie delivered! What an amazing day swimming with the sea turtles in the gorgeous Curaçao ocean! Pickup was flawless, and Patrick had great info to share on the ride to the turtles. Then, Eddie narrated our ride to the most beautiful beach. They both have so much great information to share. They truly love their country and what they do. Th m you both for a terrific experience!

I swam with the turtles! - Great experience swimming with 4 turtles while Patrick took free pictures for our personal use. We visited two beaches; one fairly crowded. Eddie and Patrick gave great historical perspective of island.

We loved Curacao and its capital Willemstad. - We went as a couple to celebrate anniversary. We loved the relaxed vibe of the island, the kindness of its people. Our hotel was opposite Queen Emma's Bridge and we couldn't be in a better place to tour the two neighborhoods divided by Sint Anna Bay: Another band with its typical streets with houses painted colors and the beautiful artisan and gastronomic market of Hulanda, and Punda, also with its typical Dutch houses but painted with vivid colors and its bars and restaurants on the bay with rich food and good music. Very nice atmosphere, enjoy more at sunset as the weather is hot, so for a walk it is recommended to do it in the morning and afternoon and take advantage of seeking shelter from the sun to have lunch or rest in midday hours. Rocky landscapes mix of volcanic lava and coral on the coasts with idyllic beaches of turquoise, blue and crystal clear waters that allow you to easily see variety of colorful fish and sometimes turtles simply swimming on the surface with snokeling. The truth is that we do not need to go to Oceania to see the beaches of film and enjoy peace and quiet, we find them here. Simple and authentic, with people proud of their origin mix of various cultures and ethnicities that work wonderfully and advertise shopping and local art Tips to keep in mind, wear good sunscreen, good sunglasses and sneakers to enter the water as the vast majority are small coral stones and can make it difficult to enter and leave the Caribbean Sea, also paddle with sun protection if you are going to snorkel to protect your back It handles everything with dollars, both card and cash. Travel differently from those we usually do to know different places where there are more to know, but we will certainly try to repeat when we need to unplug from the routine and enjoy nature and that crystal clear sea ........

What an incredible... - What an incredible experience! The swimming with turtles excursion was truly unforgettable. The Patrick and SEXY Eddie😍 were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable in the water. Seeing the turtles up close in their natural habitat was magical — they were so calm and graceful. The water was crystal clear, perfect for snorkeling, and the entire trip was well organized from start to finish. I’d absolutely recommend this adventure to anyone looking

Honest company - Sadly we didn't end up doing this excursion due to the after math of storm Melissa. Was given the choice to sightsee at 1/2 off or a refund. I chose a refund as I just wanted to swim with the turtles. Will use again as it was nice of them to be honest and give a choice. Highly recommend this company just for being honest and giving a choice to the customer.

Not the Excursion I Had Imagined - Our party of 4 did this tour with Patrick and Sexy Eddy November 4th. Their knowledge of the island and the history was exceptional. However, the areas we went to to interact the sea turtles were not very nice. If you are not a good swimmer, this is not the excursion for you. We did not want to swim out far. The beach was very, very rocky so you had to be extremely careful where you walked. Definitely bring water shoes. There was a large group way out with Patrick and eventually he made his way back in where we were standing to feed and draw turtles to us. 2 people got bit on their hands - the turtles must have thought they had food. So at that point I did not want to get too close to them. Getting in and out in this area was not easy - rocks were very slippery. The second area also very, very rocky - was a small local beach. So neither beach was very appealing. Again, there was a group way out - beyond our comfort zone, so we would have liked some beach chairs on a nice beach. I saw pictures that people had posted with beautiful beaches. This tour was not that. My sister tried to inflate the life vest to no avail. There were noodles available. If you are not a strong, confident swimmer, this excursion is not for you. I wish I had researched more.

Never again - This was the most ridiculous thing. We stopped at 3 beaches and our tour guide, Patrick didnt even get out of the bus on 1 of them and said we wouldn't even see any turtles. Then at the last stop he told us we couldn't go in the water and that he was going to take us back to our hotels. On the way back the bus RAN OUT OF GAS. On the tallest bridge in the Caribbean, and we started rolling backwards. I understand not seeing turtles on this excursion as its not a guarantee, however we were not even given the chance to try. And the fact that they ran out of gas is ridiculous. Its not good business. Tell us you need to stop and get gas instead of us being stranded on a bridge in the heat. We went out the next day on a private tour with somebody else to the beach and we were able to see turtles then.
