We were lucky to have Jillian all to ourselves on our afternoon trip. We went to the tugboat wreck and had great underwater pics taken by their photographer. Of course we purchased them! On to the next stop near Directors Bay (?), so many different fish and coral to see. She then had a lunch for us and drove us back to our hotel. Would definitely recommend this trip. Was the perfect amount of time for us!

A great afternoon snorkel trip

Snorkling

Maria_L, Apr 2024

That was awesome! Both sites were great, one for the fish and the other for the corals. Quincy our guide was very nice and knowledgeable, very helpful! Water, lunch and snack was just what we needed.

Experience the beauty of Curacao's coral and aquatic life

Ronald_A, Apr 2024

This was an awesome experience and our guide provided everything necessary. Our main issue was the pick-up point from the pier in Curacao. If Starbucks is the standard pickup point, this needs to be communicated by both Viator and the vendor. Time was wasted for both parties. I requested pictures/videos from the vendor but have not received them but will contact them again. For travelers looking for a great way to snorkel, book with this family owned vendor.

Intimate Off-The-Beaten Path Snorkeling

Dan_M, Apr 2024

Our guide, Juan, was excellent and the snorkeling at Tug Boat Beach was great, but the underwater photographer was an unnecessary waste of time & money. Water was too rough at 2nd stop, Discovery Cove. But overall liked the intimacy of this trip with just 5 people instead of a big cruise excursion.

Amazing Staff, Great 2 snorkel sites

Jason_L, Mar 2024

The staff at Scubacao are amazing, I cannot say enough good things about them. From constant and quick communication, to assistance while we were there. They even arranged for us to head back to our cruise port early after we were done for the day. The two snorkel spots are very nice, although I recommend using their boots and fins or bringing fins that require boots as the two shore areas are very rocky and tough on the feet. Our tour was longer than 4.5 hours as we were waiting for scuba divers. Just keep in mind it’s closer to 5.5 hours. A bit long in my opinion but that’s also because my family and I aren’t sit around and soak up the sun people. We just like to snorkel and get out. Scubacao is amazing, I highly recommend them and I hope to be back soon to dive with them.

Snorkel in two different areas - loved it all!!

Tricia_H, Mar 2024

This was an amazing trip with our guide, Quincy. He picked us up not far from the cruise ship and took us first to the dive shop to get gear, sign waivers, etc. If you bring a bunch of stuff with you you’ll put it in a locker there and leave the key with one of the staff. From there, we took a bumpy ride (only a problem if you have someone who gets carsick - not a criticism, just a heads up) to the first stop: Tugboat Bay. There, we saw a sunken tugboat and tons of large fish. We were there around 30 minutes. Then we got in the van and went to Director’s Bay. Getting in the water was a bit choppy with the water/waves but so worth it. We saw beautiful hard and soft coral and where the water drops off. It was so lush with coral - probably the most I’ve seen snorkeling. Quincy is a local and provided us with a lot of history and local information during our drives. We had two tweens who weren’t doing so well (one because we should have pumped with Dramamine for the drive and the other swallowed some salt water, making her give up). None of that was the fault of Quincy and he was so patient and kind with them. They both wanted to go back to the beach and Quincy helped them do that. After our time there, we drove to a little picnic area and had some sandwiches, chips, oranges, and drinks (iced tea, Cole, or water) - provided by Quincy. Then back to the dive shop to grab our things and then he dropped us off right at Gate 2 for the ship. We started at 0830 and were back to the ship around 1300. Don’t hesitate to do this trip!

Best snorkeling experience we ever had!

Guliz_S, Mar 2024

Tugboat site is fantastic! Scubacao staff is super friendly. They have all the equipment, water shoes, pool noodles if you’re not a good swimmer. Our teen daughter is now a snorkeling fan. We highly recommend this tour!

We were taken via car to...

David_S, Mar 2024

We were taken via car to a beach where we swum/snorkeled to a sunken tugboat about 100 meters away. Second site was at Directors Bay where we snorkeled next to a steep drop-off. We had lunch after the swimming/snorkeling. The staff was great to our group of six.

Great experience

Stacy_R, Feb 2024

Really enjoyed snorkeling around sunken tug boat, saw a variety of fish. At the second snorkeling spot, we saw lots of different coral that we haven’t seen before. Quincy and Anthony were both very friendly and helpful! Loved all the information Quincy provided about the island and it’s history.

Great Snorkelling Experience

Lisa_M, Feb 2024

The tour was exactly as described. Our guide Quinton was very friendly and helpful. We were in a small group of 6, only 4 of us snorkelling. We were taken to 2 amazing places off shore to snorkel. We had a nice lunch afterwards and were dropped back off at the ship. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to snorkel.

Great shore excursion!

Joyce_N, Jan 2024

Thank you Jillian and Slyvia for a great excursion, you really made our trip so enjoyable. I will definitely recommend your tour excursion company to other people.

Carolina and Quincy were...

HEMANTH_M, Dec 2023

Carolina and Quincy were great in providing wonderful snorkeling experience. Me and my wife don't know much to swim but Quincy was encouraging and amazing in making us snorkel while swimming and seeing amazing fish and beautiful coral. Quincy also took some pics and short videos with his GoPro and sent to us after snorkeling .He even took us to see the deep blue hole. We were taken to 2 spots for snorkeling. I would recommend anyone to go with Scubaco for snorkeling.

Curacao Snorkel Success!

Joseph_C, Dec 2023

Snorkel experience was unique and the coral was in great condition, unlike other spots in the Caribbean. The staff was professional and good hearted, it was a pleasure spending time with them. Shuttle was on time and free. The shop has a free locker, with brave dive shop Cat to guard your valuables. Best wishes, Joe & Ming

Good snorkeling yrip

David_A, Sep 2023

Our tour guide was very nice. The snorkeling sites were excellent. Got to see lots of different sea life and coral.

Once In A Lifetime Experience

Caltilia_R, Jun 2022

Ladies & Gentlemen, this particular tour and the guides themselves will NOT disappoint. From pick-up to the finality of this excursion was a quality experience, which exceeds the norm. Again, you won’t be disappointed. Lastly, I most certainly will seek this particular organization and their services. Thank you ALL for EVERYTHING!!
