Patrick and Eddy are such great characters and made sure we felt at ease during this crazy corona time. They taught us so much about the island, the history and the wildlife. We really enjoyed spending the morning with them. My friend also has a gopro and took some photos but Patrick’s photos and videos are of amazing quality and so much better than anything we could capture. Contact was superfast via whatsapp, highly recommend! read less

Not only did we get up close to the turtles and were able to swim with them for a while but we also learned a lot about the island itself and had a fun day exploring Curacao! To top it all off, Patrick sent us over 100 amazing pictures he took of the turtles. We had a great day that I’m sure we will remember forever!
Thank you Patrick and Sevi! read less

Sevi was very accommodating and approachable and offered a place for myself and my wife at very short notice. Both Sevi and Patrick were extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and were at our hotel on time to pick us up. We absolutely loved the whole tour from the journey, to the beaches, Sheto Beka Park and the Blue Curaçao. Patrick helped us swim with the turtles at Playa Piskado and took some amazing pictures. We were dropped off at our hotel. And how can we forget Eddie (Sexy Eddie), our tour driver - absolute legend and fun guy, made the journey extremely joyful and fun.
Highly highly recommend booking this tour with Curaçao Dream Travel ️ read less

He would basically stop where ever we wanted. We did the Flamingos, swim with turtles, Sheta Baka National Park, & Kenepa Beach. He even stopped for refreshments for us. His wife made some excellent bread and we also had some rum punch. Weren't for sure how to find him after getting off the cruise ship, but we just asked a couple workers and everyone knew big Larry. Had no problem finding him. Excellent time was had by all. What a great singer. read less

First I want to say that Patrick and Eddy are absolutely the best and nicest tour guides you could have. They are a big reason that we booked this tour again. I’m glad business is booming for Patrick and Sevi, but I enjoyed it much more when there were only 6 of us in a van. This time it was more like 20 people in a comfortable bus, but at times felt a bit crowded, this should not deter anyone from doing this excursion. The water was a bit murky that day and there were too many people at the area where you snorkel, so you couldn’t see as well but this is out of Patrick’s control so no fault to him. Unfortunately I was in a walking boot, but Eddy assisted me up and down the stairs to the balcony where you get ready to snorkel. Much appreciated Eddy!
For anyone going to Curacao this is a must do excursion. The value is great and Patrick and his staff are wonderful. I’m sure we will do this again if ever in the area. read less

There were only 4 in our group: 2 couples which was great. Our guide, Larry, was fabulous. Funny, good singer and very informative. We came across a bad car accident but he knew another route to keep us going. You just walk a short distance thru security to meet them. We started at the Liquer factory which was interesting and you get to sample many varieties. Small gift store and bathroom too. Then onto NP Shete Boka. We were set to pay the entrance fee but didn't have to! Probably a good thing, because we only got to see/visit one of the "blow holes" there, which was still incredible to see. There are 7, hence the name's meaning which is 7 mouths. If not in your swim clothes, you can change there. Next stop was the turtle swimming which to be honest was disorganized. Yes, you can walk right into the water with them as fishermen toss raw fish into the water as they clean their catch. Not too crowded but there was no photographer on hand for your personal pixs though he did catch up with us later in the day, and sent me pixs via What'sApp but you could tell they were not of the day you were actually there. Also, when we arrived at the turtle beach, if you didn't bring your mask, snorkel etc. then you were out of luck as there was no one there to help you. Next, we spent about an hour at Playa Kenepi Grandi, a beautiful beach. I would suggest bringing some snacks with you as you have enough time to eat here on the beach. Very pretty. Lots of birds too. Not too crowded. But there are no chairs etc. You must pay for them. Then we drove and saw some flamingos but they were far away. You needed a good camera lens to capture them which luckily I have. We got back in plenty of time to have some time to walk the Queen Emma bridge as Larry dropped us off right there. Plenty of shopping etc. there and that is just a short walk to our cruise ship. All in all a great day with a great tour guide, Larry. read less

Patrick picked us up in front of the Hotel, we were a group of only 12 persons and grouped by German and English speaking people to give these groups the chance to follow the historical information given during the bus tour in there native languages, which was highly appreciated by those which are not familiar with English language. We visited several locations on the island like Flamingo Bay and beautiful beaches were we had the chance to make breathtaking fotos, to checkout the area and time for swimming in glass clear water. During the tour we had cold bottled water and soft drinks. The highlight of the tour was snorkeling with the turtles, absolutely amazing! Patrick was making underwater fotos which he gave to us afterwards.The fishermen feed the turtles with part of their catch, and so you will be surrounded by turtles. The fishermen live up to the motto: "what you take from the sea, you have to give it back". And as like fishermen spent part of their catch, we spent a tip for fishermen to close this circle. Patrick has also snorkeling equipment on board which you can lend for free if you don't own one.
Patrick, Sevi in their team are wonderful tour guides, many, many thanks for that amazing experience and your excellent support! read less

Lots of other wonderful fish around the pier where the turtles were being fed by the fishermen arriving with their catches. read less

Grote Knip is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean so we start with a day at this spectacular beach. It’s hard to find and there are limited amenities, so bring water and snacks andd dc get there early- BUT FIND IT!! It’s spectacular! Then later in the afternoon we head a couple miles up to Piscadora to the small, hidden beach where you will swim with dozens of sea turtles! Fantastic! The beach isn’t much and it’s a small little fishing village- but there are lots of big turtles there and they’re all over the place. All you need is snorkeling gear. This game s one fantastic way to spend a super day in Curaçao!! read less

Eddie the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our first stop to see the flamingos. Second stop at Grote Beach was unbelievable- one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen with crystal clear calm water. Last stop was the highlight- we went to Playa Piskado to snorkel with the turtles. The fishermen feed the turtles at the pier so they come right up to you as you are swimming. If you don’t swim/snorkel you can get a great view from the pier as the water is so clear. That day we saw about 5-6 turtles and they were not shy. Incredible experience! Patrick is in the water the whole time taking photos which he shares with everyone on the ride back. Great shots of the turtles! Lots of cold beverages included. We were on an 11 day cruise of the Southern Caribbean and this was by far our favorite tour. We would come back to Curaçao just to do this again. Highly highly recommended! Patrick and his team are great. Would give this 6 stars if possible! read less

Patrick again shows us everything there is to see while Eddy stays with our belongings on the beach, so no worries! Great guide, perfect daytrip. Highly recommended.

We spent close to an hour there and it was a perfect amount of time. Afterwards we made another stop and a local beach to see the sunset and some more beach time.

Swimming the the sea turtles was a bit crowded, but still fun. Tons of turtles and very close! We didn’t get any good photos taken with us with the turtles, but that was ok. We LOVED the beach they stopped at (just know you have to pay to use the toilets here and also pay for a chair, even though you are not there very long). And lastly the stop at liquor distillery was interesting and drinks we bought were yummy! Our group of 6 had a minivan to ourselves so having just our group was awesome!!! Juriena was our guide and she was great. I’d highly recommend this tour group- it was a great way to see lots of different things on the island while there for the day on our cruise (yes, in car quite a bit, but it was broken up nicely). read less

After reading great reviews, I decided to book their Perfect Day Tour and like my title says, it was perfect. Company is owned by German born couple and after meeting Mr in (cruise) port, his wife took good care of us rest of the day and even offered us home made rum punch and banana cake. Driver they used was friendly and safe and mini van had a working A/C, which was great on a hot day. We went first to see pink flamingos and after that to Shete Boka National Park, which was great place to take pics of waves hitting rocks(check my pics). After that we went to see big turtles. You can snorkel right there with them, but you can also see them from pier clearly. After that short drive to beautiful Kenepa Beach, where you can also have little snack or cold beer. Then we headed back to Willemstad, but on our way we stopped in Blue Curacao Liquor Factory. They have nice little souvenir shop there and also bar, where you can taste those delicious drinks. I have to say, that overall this tour was great and our day couldn't be any better! read less

I was skeptic at first how they can guarantee sea turtle in the open water. They can do that because the turtles has grown to rely on the local fishermen cleaning their morning catch and feeding the scrap into the water. This attracted many turtles as well as other fishes and a pelican. I guess the arrangements works out for all.
We were picked up at the cruise port by the Starbucks in a van. Easy to find. If not , the tour guide/owner will reach out to you on WhatsApp. We got an early morning start, by the end of the 30 minutes drive to the north side of the island, we were pretty well the only one there. Which was great and gave us the opportunity to see the turtles. The locals do recommend that we don’t go into the water with flippers. The bay was shallow and wasn’t a lot of current, flippers were not needed. I was glad we got there early. Within another 1/2 hour after our arrival, there were several tour groups that showed up and the bay gotten to be very crowded. The tour guide does have a go pro and will snap pictures of you and the turtles in the water. But do bring your own to capture your own underwater experience.
It was an overall great excursion and would definitely do it again. At the beach, there is a snack bar, washroom and a fresh water tap to rinse off before going back. Total trip was about 4 hours and were back around noon. read less

We stopped at a Flamingo tidal area with the beautiful pink birds in the their natural habitat. Then you go to the beach where the turtles are. Other tropical fish can also be seen when snorkeling. Even if you are not a snorkeler or a swimmer, you can still go out on the pier to see the turtles and other fish very clearly as the water is crystal clear. After the trip, on the way back, Patrick will air drop or email the awesome pictures of the turtles he took while everyone was snorkeling. This is included with the price of this tour.
This trip is a great value! If you are in Curacao, don't miss this incredible experience. read less

The tour company was very good, they picked us up at hotel, gave history of island while we were driving. At the turtle site we were able to use a deck to store our things and hang out while people were getting in and out of water. The other companies didn’t seem to have access to that.
Things to note:
1 - the deck requires climbing about 20 rock steps. There is a handrail and it is safe but customers should be aware in case there are any issues with stairs
2- i was very surprised the turtles are hand fed. There were about 5-6 there. Lot of tour companies so it’s very crowded in water. You get mask and snorkel, no fins. About 6-8 feet deep, or you can stand on the swallower side.
You are very close to turtles. At one point 3 of them starting coming toward me and I started to move back but they kept coming, I felt they were a tad aggressive although I did not feel unsafe. Later when I was out of water I noticed there is a person on the dock throwing chunks of fish into them. That explained why they behaved the way they did, they were just going for the food. I think long term this is not a good idea as it makes the turtles dependent on the food and will also cause more aggressive bevavoiur.
I still enjoyed the trip but wish I had known ahead of time this was how they get 100% guarantee you see turtles. It wasn’t even mentioned by the guides the entire time.
So just keep eye out where the fish guy is and don’t get between him and the turtles. read less

The weather was a little rainy so they adjusted the order of stops to help get us the best possible experience. It was amazing that they had a private area setup for us at the turtle area. The only downside was the driver because all he did was whine and complain. The constant bringing up and blaming everyone else for his countries problems was annoying. The few jokes by the owner about the country was perfect, but the driver just kept blabbing about stuff he really had no idea about. Besides that, I would definitely do a tour with them again. read less

The Flamingo stop was unnecessary I thought, because the birds were far away. The whole trip was far too long even though I made it on time to my ship. But, for such a long tour they should offer some kind of snacks (like Fritos or Chips) because it did get a bit grueling without anything to eat. I would pay more for having some kind of snacks.

The first stop is the flamingo beach. The flamingos do not come very close, but there are lots of them to see! It had just rained so the ground was muddy in some areas. A suggestion is to wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty or water shoes. The ground is uneven in some areas - not recommended for elderly.
The next stop was the turtle beach where Patrick took us in the water to snorkel with the sea turtles. Patrick has his own area for your bags on a deck above the bar area. There are very steep rocky stairs to get up to this area (again not a tour for anyone with mobility restrictions). Unfortunately a lot of the chairs in this area were broken and it was not a nice area to sit. A suggestion for Patrick would be to get some nicer lounge chairs for guests to sit to enjoy this area more. Patrick provides the snorkel equipment as well as a life jacket. Patrick brings a bucket of fish in the water to attract the turtles. This was incredible as we were literally inches away from the turtles. The turtles are not fearful at all and will come super close to you. Patrick takes pictures on his go pro during the snorkelling which he then sends to you for free after the excursion which is awesome!!! The beach itself isn’t aesthetically pleasing but the experience of swimming with the turtles is incredible.
The last stop was a BEAUTIFUL beach with crystal clear turquoise water making up for the beach where the snorkelling occurs. We spent an hour here and it was one of our favourite beaches we saw during our cruise. There are food and drinks available here for $.
Patrick does provide drinks (soft drinks and water) for free during the tour! As well as the free pictures of the turtles. read less

This trip was very educational learning about the history of the island while the guides pointed out specific areas and explained their significance. They also allowed us to take pictures by pulling over in the bus. The best part was a private villa where we stored out belongings while snorkeling which was a nice surprise and also shaded us from the "liquid sunshine" (we had a couple rain showers). We saw a total of 7 sea turtles and got some great pics from our tour guy Patrick!
Big shout out to Patrick, Eddie and Jenna! Would definitely recommend to others wanting to see sea turtles and discover the island of Curacao. read less

The best part was a private villa where we stored out belongings while snorkeling which was a nice surprise and also shaded us from the "liquid sunshine" (we had a couple rain showers). We saw a total of 7 sea turtles and got some great pics from our tour guy Patrick!
Big shout out to Patrick, Eddie and Jenna! Would definitely recommend to others wanting to see sea turtles and discover the island of Curacao. read less

The guide for Flamingo visit and Turtle swim had great information and took wonderful, professional pictures of us swimming with the turtles. I was very impressed with the time given on the turtle swim. After we went to beach. Wish we had a little more time there, but otherwise, all facilities provided and a beautiful beach. The other highlight was our van guide, Larry. One of the best guides we ever had. Good history, but main thing was his personality. He makes that human connection and provided us with laughter, fun and karaoke in his van... with a lighted disco ball. You didn't want the ride to stop. I would recommend this tour. read less

We boarded the bus at the cruise port and had a lovely friendly welcome. Our bus driver was named Eddie he told us all about the history of the island as he drove around pointing out places of interest. First we went to lakes where flamingos were we spent around 30 mins there where we took lots of photos. Then we travelled to the bay where the turtles were. We were given masks and snorkels and got to swim with them for around 1.30 hours. The turtles were all around you swimming alongside and underneath you, it was a fantastic experience. There were also a lot of tropical fish swimming around in small shoals. When we had finished there we were taken to a small sandy cove where we spent around a hour, the sand was white and like flour it was perfect to finish off the trip. Whilst on the bus they provided soft drinks or water. It was a fantastic tour and we'll worth the money, we booked the trip through trip advisor. read less
