First stop of our day was to visit the wild flamingos...so beautiful. Then it was off to snorkel with the turtles; so very cool! Patrick was awesome and super friendly. There were several turtles that came in. Then off to the northern part of the island to a park where the waves crash and splash up against the shore. It was so beautiful! Then off to a beautiful beach where we could swim or snorkel for about an hour. Sevi and Patricia were so fun and very accommodating. They emphasized it was "our day." We were a family of 8 so we had them all to ourselves :)...so fun and we highly recommend! More read less

Sevi and Patricia were our tour guides for the day and truly made our day perfect! We were greeted at Starbucks by Sevi with the most welcoming personality. We were lucky enough to have a private tour, since our group was so large. Our tour started with a stop to see the flamingos. Then we traveled to Shete Boca National Park and took in the beautiful sights of Boca Pistola. After that, we went snorkeling with turtles! This was by far one of my favorite parts of our whole vacation! It was incredible how close we were to the turtles. While it was not originally part of our tour, we then stopped for lunch since we were all hungry. Sevi and Patricia picked a wonderful lunch spot and we all enjoyed our meals. After lunch, we traveled to Kenepa Beach, one of my favorite beaches in the Caribbean. What I loved most about it was, it was not a tourist beach, it was quiet and peaceful. At this time, Sevi poured us Rum Punch and served Rum cake, both of which were delicious! Our last stop on the tour was the Curacao Liqueur Factory. Throughout our travels, we have never come across someone with more passion about their career than Sevi. She and her husband...

We will be sure to book a different tour with them again on our next visit. We cannot thank them enough for their hospitality, patience with our silly questions and for making our Perfect Day in Curacao one to remember! More read less

I wanted to leave this review mainly because we were on a cruise and I booked this excursion outside of the cruise due to the positive comments already here. Whenever I book outside of the cruiselines, I am partly nervous, especially since this was my first trip to Curacao. I forgot to double check my email and did not know exactly where to meet Larry, but all I had to do was ask other tour companies and they knew exactly where to send me. In the end, we found each other no problem and right on time. I was very happy with the company for several reasons. First of all, Patrick and Larry, our tour guide and driver were amazing. He was so much fun. I had my two daughters - ages 10,12 and my husband with. One of the things that is important to me after an excursion are the people that I have just interacted with. For me, what makes a tour is the people you work with and interact with along the way. There were only 10 of us in Larry's group, so it was nice and small and we were not rushed in any way. Even more so, Larry was always watching out for my girls. On a number of occasions, if my husband and I were out of the water taking a break, he was making...

On a number of occasions, if my husband and I were out of the water taking a break, he was making sure to have eyes on my kids. (Who does that?) Additionally, as already mentioned, Patrick shared a TON of beautiful pictures with us immediately after the swim.

Anyway, I found the previous reviews to be spot on and am so happy to have booked with Curacao Dreams. More read less

Eddy gave us so much information about the island, it was very interesting. We traveled all over the island. Every stop was great and had amazing views. The snorkeling with the turtles was everyones favorite part. Patrick provided the snorkels for all of us. Patrick pays for a fish so that the turtles are around. Not all of the guides do that. He also took photos for us of the turtles and shared them before we left the area. We also stopped and were able to cliff jump...3 people in our group did it! Just remind your friends to make sure their feet go in first, otherwise it hurts! We stopped a a very beautiful beach. There is a snack shack there. The fries were good, the burgers, not so much. They also had beverages available and there was a smoothie truck in the parking lot. I wish we had brought some other snacks. We did the tour of the Curacao distillery, but in hindsight, i wish we had done the one with the rum...I'm not a fan of the Curacao Liquor. That's not a knock on Patrick!!

The van was air conditioned and water and sodas were provided. We spent more time in locations than other groups we saw. I would highly recommend this tour...or any of the offered by Curacao Dreams, as I am sure they are of similar quality. More read less

Patrick and Eddie were very informative and a lot of fun. You get a little history of the island and lot of Eddie’s stories that are fun to hear. If you’re overly sensitive don’t go - he is blunt and drops the ‘F’, which I totally relate to! Eddie even bought us beers!

The turtles come so close you want to touch them - but don’t! Patrick took a bunch of spectacular pics with his GoPro and air dropped them to us.

This is a must do adventure! read less

You get up close to these beautiful animals and watch them glide through the water. That is cool. The site had other groups that were there taking in the turtles. The area was big enough for those there on that day. I'm sure in a busier season it would be more crowded. Patrick, our guide, met us there. He gave us our snorkeling equipment and we were in the water. Patrick and his side kick, security for our bags, dropped cut fish to attract the turtles. And they showed up! We got some awesome pictures and have a great memory. Patrick took pictures with his Gopro, which turned out amazing! Thanks to Patrick for showing us an awesome spot to see the turtles!

Amazing tour Everything was perfect, the snorkel with turtles was amazing, Patrick will send you the pictures if you don't have an underwater camera, don't forget to try the cake and the rum punch, thanks to the whole crew of Curacao Dreams for an amazing day.

The original tour we were hoping to book was already full but they worked with us to provide exactly what we wanted and we actually ended up getting more than we hoped for. We did the Perfect Day tour on May 22 and it was one of our best days ever. Sevi was our guide and we had Jantry for a driver for the 6 hours together that day. They were both friendly, knowledgable and professional. When we snorkeled with the sea turtles Sevi's husband Patrick met us and took pictures of the turtles and of us with them!!! He then immediately air dropped the pics to my phone for FREE! The pictures were amazing and I've shown them to everyone. This was such a special addition to the tour...especially when most places were charging extra for pictures. The tour group was small (the 4 of us and one other couple only) which made everything nicer not having to fight the large groups of people wherever we went. We saw the flamingos, sea turtles, Pistol Boke in Shete Boka National park and had time to swim at one of the most beautiful beaches (Playa Knip) and then finally toured the local distillery. We were never rushed or put on any timeline. It really was a perfect day! I would highly recommend booking with Curacao Dreams!!!! read less

Patrick and Eddie did a great job. We had a very interesting history lesson from Eddie's unique perspective on the drive across the island - Eddie is passionate about his Curacao homeland and its' contributions to the development of the North and South America and has a lot of information to share. Patrick took amazing photos of our sea turtle snorkeling adventure - we didn't have to fiddle around with our own cameras - we could spend our time enjoying swimming with the turtles. The water was crystal clear and we had about 5 or 6 turtles in the vicinity of the pier to interact with. On the drive back, we stopped at the overlook at Playa Kenepa Chiki. Wow! One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen - my biggest regret is that we didn't have enough time to stop for a swim in this beautiful bay.

But, my family all agreed it was one of the best excursions we've ever taken from a cruise port! More read less

Patrick and Eddie picked us up at the Sunscape resort. Then we picked up another couple and their 2 girls at the Hilton, then it was on to see Flamingos. We did see alot of them and took pictures. Headed to snorkeling with the turtles. Along the way Eddie kept us informed of the local history as we past different buildings and areas. The great thing about this snorkel adventure was that we didn't have to get on a boat. We walked right in from the beach, in the clear blue water, and at first we went out to about 10-15 feet of water and there were big turtles munching on a dead fish at the bottom. but later just in waist deep water, they were swimming around too. There were about 10 different turtles that were quite large, and 2 smaller ones about the size of dinner plates. Very cute. A man on the pier next to where we were swimming, would toss in some fish pieces to keep attracting the turtles. Patrick snorkeled with us and had a GoPro camera to take plenty of pictures that he sent to each of us, for free.

I was on my first cruise and my boyfriend loves sea turtles, so I searched for a snorkeling trip like this and booked directly through Curaçao Dreams for their Flamingos and Snorkeling with Sea Turtles trip, during a stop from the cruise on Carnival Horizon. Sevi was so helpful in booking and told me exactly what to do. Patrick led the excursion and all I can say is...EPIC. If you don’t see a turtle, you haven’t left the bus!!! The guide on the bus gave a very colorful oral history of the country. We had our own snorkeling gear, but Curaçao Dreams had plenty to provide if needed. We stopped at a little “beach” on the side of the road and saw a huge group of wild flamingos. You can’t get close, but you can see them perfectly. Patrick takes amazing GoPro photos and videos of the snorkeling and will AirDrop, email, or Facebook Measage them to you after the tour, FOR FREE!!!!! The only “caveats” I would express are it was a little confusing finding Curaçao Dreams off the ship (since it wasn’t a cruise-sponsored excursion), and make sure you have water shoes (the beach is rocky) and can walk up and down stairs.

If you have back or knee issues, might be a problem. That being said, you could leave your towel and other belongings on the beach and not make the climb, you will only be about 50 feet from your stuff in the the water. This excursion was perfect. 10/10. I can’t wait to go back. More read less

two daughters, ages 4 and 6 - they were entertained the whole time! Larry was an AMAZING tour guide, so funny and made the trip memorable, especially during the driving parts. We started our excursion seeing the flamingos and then went to fisherman's beach afterwards for the majority of the trip. Swimming with the turtles was an awesome experience, we saw a lot of them. It was so nice getting off the resort and seeing authentic fishermen from Curacao bringing fish off their boats onto the beach. Our kids also loved jumping off the side of the pier into the water. We brought our own underwater camera. I bought the Campark off of amazon which worked great, $60. Highly, highly recommend this trip! More read less

We got to see some flamingos but they were quite a distance away, yet we were up close and personal with the turtles and it was just so much fun. The next time we visit Curaçao, and we will be going back, we will do this trip again! I highly recommend to buy a full face snorkel mask before leaving the states. We were in the water for over an hour and it would have been much better to have a full face mask than the ones we used. No complaints... only praise for how much fun this was. More read less

Patrick and Eddie took us on our tour and told us lots about the island as we drove. Patrick's wife, Sevi, was leading another tour group and we met up with them at the snorkel spot. Both Patrick and Sevi were very nice and very accommodating, as Sevi arranged for Patrick and Eddie to make an additional stop at the Blue Curacao Distillery for us after the tour had finished. Patrick sent us some fabulous pictures that he took of the turtles at the snorkel spot as well! Thank all for such a great tour! read less

We (10 of us) from the United States did the Flamingoes and Sea Turtles Tour. Patrick gave us a great experience and he was very accommodating. We asked him to make some side stops and he worked it out so we could do what we wanted. Patrick is German and he speaks English perfectly. He is a good photographer too. We liked him so much that we called upon him several other times during our trip for advice, assistance, and transportation needs. If you want the best tour guide in Curaçao, call Patrick from Curaçao Dreams. read less
