Absolutely Unforgettable Experience! - This sea turtle excursion was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. It started with a scenic drive where we learned a bit about the country’s history and stopped at some incredible photo spots—such a thoughtful way to begin the adventure. Once we got to the water, the real magic happened. It might sound unbelievable, but it truly felt like we had our own sea turtle. Patrick, the guide (and what we now call the sea turtle whisperer), made the entire experience personal and unforgettable. He knew exactly where to go and made sure everyone got up close in the most respectful way. Patrick also took high-quality photos—free of charge—which was such a nice bonus. No pressure, no extra fees, just a genuine desire to make the day special. We wrapped it all up at a stunning beach that felt like a perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you for an amazing time. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for something unique, peaceful, and truly memorable.

Awesome Experience! - We had such a great time! Patrick is amazing!! He swam out and brought 2 Sea Turtles closer to shore so that the not so good swimmers were also able to experience snorkeling with the Sea Turtles in shallow water. He got great pictures of everyone on his go pro and sent everyone the pictures for free! Patrick & Eddy both did a great job giving us the history of the Island. I definitely recommend this excursion!!

We were a little afraid... - We were a little afraid to go out into the ocean in the beginning, Patrick ended up bringing us a turtle closer to shallow waters where we were and then we started getting the hang of how to float with the life vest and use the snorkel equipment Patrick provided and we were able to go out further with Patrick and the rest of the group. He talked about the background and history of Curaçao and showed us different things on the way to the beach (he provides transportation as well). We stopped at 3 different beaches and even a few of Curaçao’s most important places. The sea turtles also love him! It was amazing and so was he. Highly recommend! It was 100% worth it.

Best excursion EVER! Patrick is the Turtle Whisperer! - By far the best excursion we have ever taken! Pick-up at Gate 2 at the terminal was a breeze. You can’t miss Patrick- tall, blonde German man. Both he and the driver, Sexy Eddie, provided a history of the island on the way to a beautiful beach that wasn’t crowded- we stayed there for an hour before heading to the turtle snorkel. Arriving at the turtle snorkel spot- Patrick & Eddie had their own private spot and a rooftop location to store your belongings- this gave additional peace of mind that personal items were secure. Masks and vests (optional) were provided. Equipment was in great condition. You walk right off the beach to their “spot” which is not where the rest of the people are located. You are only snorkeling in about 8 feet of water and there were no currents- easiest snorkeling and not strenuous. The turtles knew Patrick. He is the turtle whisperer. They literally swam right over to him when they saw him get into the water and stayed with our group for a solid 45 minutes until we got out. Patrick kept pictures and videos rolling as he fed the turtles snacks. It is illegal to touch the turtles and they were so close you had to sometimes swim backwards to avoid touching them. Once back on the bus, Patrick airdropped almost 200 photos and videos to everyone- all spectacular! The cost is included, which is a great deal. We probably had 30-40 pictures of just us (my husband and me) with the turtles. Patrick made sure to take plenty of each person or group. Do not hesitate to book this tour!!! It is an incredible experience. We can’t wait to come back to Curacao to bring our kids to do this with us!

Very good. We went to a... - Very good. We went to a very good beach and had an hour for ourselves and then went to another one to see and swim with the Turtles. The only thing is the island is getting to touristy and there were a lot of other groups with other guides to see Turtles. But our guide was very experienced and knew how to do it better.

Swimming with the turtles! - Worth every penny. First went swimming on a beautiful beach then proceeded to the turtles. 3 turtles came in the beginning. Guide took over 190 amazing pictures of the turtles and people in the group with them. Defined recommend. Snorkeling equipment was really good. Lots of other fish to see and swim with. He then took us to a lake to see flamingos in the wild - beautiful. The signature bridge you see at port? We had a woman from a hotel so he let us stay on the bus and we drove over the bridge and back. Worth every penny. Good job Patrick and Sexie Eddie for a great adventure.

You get up close to sea... - You get up close to sea turtles and the guides are knowledgable and take good care of you. The location to see them is a fishing harbor, and it is very popular. They provide awesome, FREE photos of you and the turtles :-)

Beautiful Sea Turtles - A chance to see beautiful sea turtles closeup. However, be aware that the pictures will contain the many other people trying to get close to the turtles. They are not swimming free, they are taking food from the guide.
