The most amazing excursion I have ever been on! Great for my family, and several couples loved it as well! If I could give more stars I would! Patrick and Sexy Eddie are the absolute best

What an incredible day swimming with sea turtles!! Super clear pick up instructions, and met Patrick and Sexy Eddie with no issues. They were such a delight and SO knowledgeable about the history of Curaçao which was wonderful to learn about. It was a quite a bit of driving, but so worth it. We saw flamingos in their natural habitat at the start of the trip and then we spent an hour at a beautiful beach with free time before going to swim with turtles. The swimming was definitely veryyy difficult and tiring. We had little kids that struggled, but life jackets were helpful and Patrick was so kind to lure the turtles over to the dock for them to see and enjoy. We all loved it so much!!

First the positive. The turtles were great. Plenty of time to swim and safe beach entry.
Now the negatives. A one hour stop at another beach with no chairs available to sit results in sitting on a bench in front of a snack shop far from the water. Could have been skipped. Driver/ guide Eddy spent nearly half his time talking about slavery and arguing for reparations. He also was anti government and railed about them. No place to do this with foreign tourists.
Warning for older guests very steep stone stairs to climb and kind of scary at times.

Perfection Patrick and Sexy Eddy just made for each other!!! Great everything!
If you want to have fun its A GO GO GO

We had a great 5 hours with our very friendly, informative and helpful guides Patrick and Sexy Eddie. Loved the turtles and how Patrick was a magnet to the turtles courtesy of food. Really good value and included so many photos that Patrick took with the GoPro whilst we were all snorkeling around which he sent to our mobiles on the journey back. Only downside is that my husband who is a poor swimmer and didn't feel confident enough to go to where the turtles were so he didn't get to enjoy the experience as much as the rest of us. However, that was down to him and we both still rate this as 5 stars and thought it was a great trip.

Patrick and Sexy Eddy provided an informative and extremely fun experience. They navigated the crowds, at the turtle bay beautifully to ensure we had a fantastic experience! I highly recommend this tour (family with kiddos).
Courtney_K, Mar 2024
We loved this tour but wish it had been a smaller group. There were about 20 of us which made it crowded when trying to see the turtles. I also think there were some Tagalongs from people not in our group. We got a great history of the island and stopped to see flamingos, old slave houses, plantations and more. It was a good way to experience the island. The picture Patrick took with his GOPro were amazing! Would have been even better if he pulled families separately to get pics without others in the background. That’s me being picky but just a suggestion. Sexy Eddy was a great tour guide along with Patrick!

It was raining on our trip but it was still great. We saw turtles and the guide was great and helpfull. Some of our group were unable to go into deaper water, so he brought the turtles up closer to them so they could see them. everyone had a great time and the pictures were an added bonus for all.
