Great experience! A top excursion with a great guide team, ela fantastic tour of the island, and a memorable experience with th - We couldn't have been any happier with this experience! Patrick, our guide, and "Sexy" Eddy, our driver, were just top notch for the entire excursion. We spent several hours with them, exploring the island, and all the while, they provided insightful history, commentary, and some good-natured ribbing of one another. We saw several flamingoes at our first stop, passed through villages and countryside, and spent over an hour at the beautiful beach. The beach was not overly crowded, the scenery was tremendous, and the swimming was great. I would recommend water shoes if you have them, as there is a bit of shell/coral at the edge of the water. The sea turtle swim was epic. It was very crowded when we arrived at the location, but Patrick expertly held us back at a private terrace until the crowded thinned so we could get the most from the experience. This was a great move, and the crowd diminished greatly in less than half an hour. We then spent 40 minutes in the water, up close and personal with the turtles, and it was just awesome! Patrick took tons of photos, which he then shared with us as part of the fee for the experience (air drop to apple device is the easiest and preferred method). On the way back to the cruise terminal, we saw more of the city, and they went out of their way to show us additional sights of interest, including murals, churches, and other notable buildings. This was a great tour, and I wholeheartedly endorse it!

Swimming with sea turtles and Grote Knip Beach Tour - I went on the "Swimming with sea turtles and Grote Knip Beach Tour" with my daughter and we were warmly welcomed by Patrick and sexy Eddie in the nicely airconditioned bus. On the trip we practically crossed the whole island while receiving a lot of interesting infos from Patrick on the history, the architecture, the vegetation, the islands industry and life of the ancient and todays people. On the way to the turtles, we stopped to see some flamingos in some distance but of course they are wild and not trained to come near when we want to see then. Swimming with the sea turtles was really unique and we really like the fantastic fotos Patrick took under water from the turtles and us. We even got the fotos for no extra charge whereas on other events you have to pay 40 USD to get the fotos. Finally, we went to another blue water beach (Grote Knip) where we had another hour to enjoy swimming and relaxing. Overall, we had a great day and recommend this tour to everyone coming to this island!

Excellent excursion!!! - Patrick and Sexy Eddie were awesome!! I was expecting a trip just to swim with sea turtles but it was so much more. We drove around island and got to see so much of it and they explained lots of history. We stopped at a few spots to look around. We Got to see flamingoes, then we got to hang out at an amazing beach and I did some snorkeling that was great! Then we went to the sea turtles. We all got to see them up close and it was amazing! At the end Patrick air dropped us some amazing pictures of the turtle swim. I loved this excursion and would highly recommend!!

A must do while in Curaçao! - I booked the sea turtles tour for myself, my four year old son, and my mom, and we had the best time! We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our tour guides, whom were very lovely and attentive the entire trip, and offered waters and drinks. We first went to the distillery, then to see the flamingos, followed by spending some time at a private beach, and ending with swimming with the turtles at Playa Piskado. Here, another guide helped us take wonderful GoPro pictures and transferred them to us at no cost. Overall, it was an amazing and worthwhile trip! A must do while visiting curaçao!

Amazing Excursion with Sea Turtles! - This was an absolutely fantastic experience. Patrick and “Sexy Eddie” were funny, engaging, and on the bus ride they shared the island’s history, which was very interesting. The swimming with the sea turtles part of the excursion was so cool! Patrick had some snacks for them, so they were gliding all around us. The pictures that Patrick took were amazing, so clear and they’re included, no extra fee for almost 200 pictures. Odds are you’ll be in the background of some of them, makes for a wonderful souvenir. One of the stops was at a gorgeous beach, and I’d highly recommend grabbing a fresh fruit smoothie. I had the pineapple and my girlfriend grabbed the pina colada, so fresh. The bus picked us up right at our hotel and dropped us off there afterwards, very convenient! I can’t say enough about how great of a day it was, I’d highly recommend.

Perfect day - What a magical day! Patrick and Eddie are were great at providing the history and helping the group avoid the crowds. Patrick should be called the turtle whisperer. The turtles followed him everywhere. We would highly recommend this tour.
