One of my best days - Patrick and Sexy Eddy were fabulous and made you feel safe, comfortable while having a great time. We got to see sea turtles, flamingos and some parrot fish. An absolutely amazing experience! The highlight was definitely getting to swim with turtles in their natural habitat. The experience was really questioned by our very knowledgeable, nice and funny guide who shared her own story and a lot of information about the country of Curaçao. The guide is very passionate about the turtles’ welfare and was therefore very careful about where and how we treated the turtles, which felt very good. We had a very knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this tour, as you not only get to swim with turtles but also get to see and learn a lot about the island! Plus ...an amazing photos taken by Patrick....I really appriciate the effort Patrick put into this tour ...thank you so much

Love the tour! - We enjoyed the caves. Swimming with the turtles was awesome. Beach was very clean. We had a nice lunch. We had a driver and a tour guide both were great. We got so much history of the island. A must do so happy I didn’t listen to bad reviews. I would have missed a great day. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Wonderful day in Curaçao! - What a great day! We were on a cruise and our guide met us exactly where they instructed us to right outside the cruise pier. Anita was our guide for the day and she was amazing! We promptly left on time and went to Hato Caves. It was so beautiful to see. We left there and went to swim with turtles. We only personally saw one but as it had just rained the water was a little stirred up. But that’s nature! We then went to the beach where we had lunch and had about 2 hours at the beach. The beach was not overcrowded and to rent a chair, if you wanted to, was $9 a chair. We only purchased one to put our stuff on because we were in the water the whole time. We left at exactly the time Anita instructed us to. Honestly this was one of the most organized, punctual excursions we’ve ever taken. Anita did such an amazing job of letting everyone know what we were doing, how much time we had and what to bring/not bring. And everyone was punctual because she was punctual. Too often on these tours we are standing around waiting but that was not the case here. And I loved all along the way she gave us interesting information about the island. It was a wonderful day spent in Curaçao!

There are a lot of stairs getting into AND once inside the cave so be prepared, but it was very well maintained. Bring water shoes for the beach as it is very rocky once you get in the water, but it is so picturesque. Would 1000% recommend if you are physically capable.

Awesome customer service and communication - I cannot rate the tour itself because it was canceled because of weather. Our cruise ship was not able to dock at the port. But what I can review is the amazing customer service from this team! There was a medical emergency and it delayed our arrival to Curaçao. Before it was widely known on the cruise ship when we were going to doc, I had an email and a WhatsApp message from this team. When we learned that we were unable to make it to the dock, they were responsive and courteous. They pointed us to TripAdvisor and because of the situation, they issued a full refund. Thank you for the awesome customer service!

Hato caves are definitely worth visiting, cute fruit bats living in the caves were an added bonus for us. Snorkeling was incredible , we swam with the turtles and saw many different kinds of fish. Restaurant at the beach had delicious lunch options , and lots of cocktails to choose from. Would definitely recommend as a half day adventure.
