Sevi was very accommodating and approachable and offered a place for myself and my wife at very short notice. Both Sevi and Patrick were extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guides and were at our hotel on time to pick us up. We absolutely loved the whole tour from the journey, to the beaches, Sheto Beka Park and the Blue Curaçao. Patrick helped us swim with the turtles at Playa Piskado and took some amazing pictures. We were dropped off at our hotel. And how can we forget Eddie (Sexy Eddie), our tour driver - absolute legend and fun guy, made the journey extremely joyful and fun.
Highly highly recommend booking this tour with Curaçao Dream Travel ☺️ read less

Amazing adventure The whole experience was amazing especially the sea turtles and the airdrop option of receiving amazing pictures that Patrick took with his GoPro

Super Day with Curacao Dreams We had a super excursion with Patrick and Eddy. Well organized pickup at the cruise pier and a Day full of information om the history of Curacao.
Visiting the beach with turtles was so amazing and Patrick took beautiful pictures which he shared without additional cost.
And remember to take snorkling gear to Grote Knip beach

Amazing Experience! Amazing Guides! Don’t miss this! This was an amazing trip... Patrick and Sexy Eddie were amazing guides... check one off the bucket list!

Curaçao Dreams Patrick and Eddy are the best tour guide and driver. Very informative and do their best to make sure everyone has the best experience possible. Would recommend that anyone doing a tour in Curaçao contact this company.

Swimming with the turtles was a total experience. Patrick is the ultimate guide! Curacao Dreeams gets an A+ for delivering what they say they will do!!! Great job Patrick for being a terrific guide and host.

Best Sea turtle swim ever This was by far the most amazing experience ever. Patrick was so awesome, knew right where to take us to be surrounded by turtles in open water. I will definitely be doing this same excursion every visit. It was a dream come true.

We did 4 stops on the island with big Larry. What a great tour with Larry. He would basically stop where ever we wanted. We did the Flamingos, swim with turtles, Sheta Baka National Park, & Kenepa Beach. He even stopped for refreshments for us. His wife made some excellent bread and we also had some rum punch.

He even stopped for refreshments for us. His wife made some excellent bread and we also had some rum punch. Weren't for sure how to find him after getting off the cruise ship, but we just asked a couple workers and everyone knew big Larry. Had no problem finding him. Excellent time was had by all. What a great singer. read less

First I want to say that Patrick and Eddy are absolutely the best and nicest tour guides you could have. They are a big reason that we booked this tour again. I’m glad business is booming for Patrick and Sevi, but I enjoyed it much more when there were only 6 of us in a van. This time it was more like 20 people in a comfortable bus, but at times felt a bit crowded, this should not deter anyone from doing this excursion. The water was a bit murky that day and there were too many people at the area where you snorkel, so you couldn’t see as well but this is out of Patrick’s control so no fault to him. Unfortunately I was in a walking boot, but Eddy assisted me up and down the stairs to the balcony where you get ready to snorkel. Much appreciated Eddy!
For anyone going to Curacao this is a must do excursion. The value is great and Patrick and his staff are wonderful. I’m sure we will do this again if ever in the area. read less

There were only 4 in our group: 2 couples which was great. Our guide, Larry, was fabulous. Funny, good singer and very informative. We came across a bad car accident but he knew another route to keep us going. You just walk a short distance thru security to meet them. We started at the Liquer factory which was interesting and you get to sample many varieties. Small gift store and bathroom too. Then onto NP Shete Boka. We were set to pay the entrance fee but didn't have to! Probably a good thing, because we only got to see/visit one of the "blow holes" there, which was still incredible to see. There are 7, hence the name's meaning which is 7 mouths. If not in your swim clothes, you can change there. Next stop was the turtle swimming which to be honest was disorganized. Yes, you can walk right into the water with them as fishermen toss raw fish into the water as they clean their catch. Not too crowded but there was no photographer on hand for your personal pixs though he did catch up with us later in the day, and sent me pixs via What'sApp but you could tell they were not of the day you were actually there. Also, when we arrived at the turtle beach, if you didn't bring your mask, snorkel etc. then you were out of luck as there was no one there to help you. Next, we spent about an hour at Playa Kenepi Grandi, a beautiful beach. I would suggest bringing some snacks with you as you have enough time to eat here on the beach. Very pretty. Lots of birds too. Not too crowded. But there are no chairs etc. You must pay for them. Then we drove and saw some flamingos but they were far away. You needed a good camera lens to capture them which luckily I have. We got back in plenty of time to have some time to walk the Queen Emma bridge as Larry dropped us off right there. Plenty of shopping etc. there and that is just a short walk to our cruise ship. All in all a great day with a great tour guide, Larry. read less

Swimming with the turtles This was the best experience on our cruise. Patrick and his colleagues were the best. Explained the history of the island while traveling to the beach. Added bonus Patrick will take pictures of the turtles and send them to you, no need to worry about your own camera.

Patrick picked us up in front of the Hotel, we were a group of only 12 persons and grouped by German and English speaking people to give these groups the chance to follow the historical information given during the bus tour in there native languages, which was highly appreciated by those which are not familiar with English language. We visited several locations on the island like Flamingo Bay and beautiful beaches were we had the chance to make breathtaking fotos, to checkout the area and time for swimming in glass clear water. During the tour we had cold bottled water and soft drinks. The highlight of the tour was snorkeling with the turtles, absolutely amazing! Patrick was making underwater fotos which he gave to us afterwards.The fishermen feed the turtles with part of their catch, and so you will be surrounded by turtles. The fishermen live up to the motto: "what you take from the sea, you have to give it back". And as like fishermen spent part of their catch, we spent a tip for fishermen to close this circle. Patrick has also snorkeling equipment on board which you can lend for free if you don't own one.
Patrick, Sevi in their team are wonderful tour guides, many, many thanks for that amazing experience and your excellent support! read less

Lots of other wonderful fish around the pier where the turtles were being fed by the fishermen arriving with their catches. read less

Great trip! We’re picked up from the hotel! Great service. We’ve seen the flamingos, swum with the turtles, visited Grote Knip and had a smoothie with a pastechie! Patrick and his driver are the best!

Best of Curacao Patricia Reyes took care of us and provided an excellent experience. She explained the history of the island and its culture. She personalized the stops based on our preference and made sure she delivered an outstanding overview of the island. We highly recommend this tour for any visitors to the island of Curacao.

Second stop at Grote Beach was unbelievable- one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen with crystal clear calm water. Last stop was the highlight- we went to Playa Piskado to snorkel with the turtles. The fishermen feed the turtles at the pier so they come right up to you as you are swimming. If you don’t swim/snorkel you can get a great view from the pier as the water is so clear. That day we saw about 5-6 turtles and they were not shy. Incredible experience! Patrick is in the water the whole time taking photos which he shares with everyone on the ride back. Great shots of the turtles! Lots of cold beverages included. We were on an 11 day cruise of the Southern Caribbean and this was by far our favorite tour. We would come back to Curaçao just to do this again. Highly highly recommended! Patrick and his team are great. Would give this 6 stars if possible! read less

Patrick again shows us everything there is to see while Eddy stays with our belongings on the beach, so no worries! Great guide, perfect daytrip. Highly recommended. They also are very helpfull in making other arrangements. A bonus: Patrick makes fantastic underwater photos and you get all of them! A day to remember! read less

Don’t miss it! A wonderful day with Patrick and Eddie and the take home pictures provided by Patrick are stunning!
Many thanks to Eddie for providing commentary on Curacao’s past, a little island with a lot of history...
All the best to Curacao Dreams!

We didn’t get any good photos taken with us with the turtles, but that was ok. We LOVED the beach they stopped at (just know you have to pay to use the toilets here and also pay for a chair, even though you are not there very long). And lastly the stop at liquor distillery was interesting and drinks we bought were yummy! Our group of 6 had a minivan to ourselves so having just our group was awesome!!! Juriena was our guide and she was great. I’d highly recommend this tour group- it was a great way to see lots of different things on the island while there for the day on our cruise (yes, in car quite a bit, but it was broken up nicely). read less

After reading great reviews, I decided to book their Perfect Day Tour and like my title says, it was perfect. Company is owned by German born couple and after meeting Mr in (cruise) port, his wife took good care of us rest of the day and even offered us home made rum punch and banana cake. Driver they used was friendly and safe and mini van had a working A/C, which was great on a hot day. We went first to see pink flamingos and after that to Shete Boka National Park, which was great place to take pics of waves hitting rocks(check my pics). After that we went to see big turtles. You can snorkel right there with them, but you can also see them from pier clearly. After that short drive to beautiful Kenepa Beach, where you can also have little snack or cold beer. Then we headed back to Willemstad, but on our way we stopped in Blue Curacao Liquor Factory. They have nice little souvenir shop there and also bar, where you can taste those delicious drinks. I have to say, that overall this tour was great and our day couldn't be any better! read less

They can do that because the turtles has grown to rely on the local fishermen cleaning their morning catch and feeding the scrap into the water. This attracted many turtles as well as other fishes and a pelican. I guess the arrangements works out for all.
We were picked up at the cruise port by the Starbucks in a van. Easy to find. If not , the tour guide/owner will reach out to you on WhatsApp. We got an early morning start, by the end of the 30 minutes drive to the north side of the island, we were pretty well the only one there. Which was great and gave us the opportunity to see the turtles. The locals do recommend that we don’t go into the water with flippers. The bay was shallow and wasn’t a lot of current, flippers were not needed. I was glad we got there early. Within another 1/2 hour after our arrival, there were several tour groups that showed up and the bay gotten to be very crowded. The tour guide does have a go pro and will snap pictures of you and the turtles in the water. But do bring your own to capture your own underwater experience.
It was an overall great excursion and would definitely do it again. At the beach, there is a snack bar, washroom and a fresh water tap to rinse off before going back. Total trip was about 4 hours and were back around noon. read less

First time Snorkeling It was an amazing experience...seeing all those sea turtles and fishes.it was our first time snorkeling and we absolutely loved it.
Special Shout out to Patrick and his Wife..for helping us make our experience a memorable one.
P.S- The pictures were amazing.

We stopped at a Flamingo tidal area with the beautiful pink birds in the their natural habitat. Then you go to the beach where the turtles are. Other tropical fish can also be seen when snorkeling. Even if you are not a snorkeler or a swimmer, you can still go out on the pier to see the turtles and other fish very clearly as the water is crystal clear. After the trip, on the way back, Patrick will air drop or email the awesome pictures of the turtles he took while everyone was snorkeling. This is included with the price of this tour.
This trip is a great value! If you are in Curacao, don't miss this incredible experience. read less

Reliable and friendly We joined Patricia's tour and absolutely loved it!! Patricia was very knowledgeable about the island and the friendliest tour guide we have ever had!

At the turtle site we were able to use a deck to store our things and hang out while people were getting in and out of water. The other companies didn’t seem to have access to that.
Things to note:
1 - the deck requires climbing about 20 rock steps. There is a handrail and it is safe but customers should be aware in case there are any issues with stairs
2- i was very surprised the turtles are hand fed. There were about 5-6 there. Lot of tour companies so it’s very crowded in water. You get mask and snorkel, no fins. About 6-8 feet deep, or you can stand on the swallower side.
You are very close to turtles. At one point 3 of them starting coming toward me and I started to move back but they kept coming, I felt they were a tad aggressive although I did not feel unsafe. Later when I was out of water I noticed there is a person on the dock throwing chunks of fish into them. That explained why they behaved the way they did, they were just going for the food. I think long term this is not a good idea as it makes the turtles dependent on the food and will also cause more aggressive bevavoiur.
I still enjoyed the trip but wish I had known ahead of time this was how they get 100% guarantee you see turtles. It wasn’t even mentioned by the guides the entire time.
So just keep eye out where the fish guy is and don’t get between him and the turtles. read less

swimming with majestic animals the organization was very good. Unfortunately there are more and more people in the sea at the same time, but it still works. swimming with the turtles is a unique experience - simply beautiful animals. Patrick and Sevi really have a feeling for the support of the tourists (they always help with advice and action) -thanks!

The weather was a little rainy so they adjusted the order of stops to help get us the best possible experience. It was amazing that they had a private area setup for us at the turtle area. The only downside was the driver because all he did was whine and complain. The constant bringing up and blaming everyone else for his countries problems was annoying. The few jokes by the owner about the country was perfect, but the driver just kept blabbing about stuff he really had no idea about. Besides that, I would definitely do a tour with them again. read less

The first stop is the flamingo beach. The flamingos do not come very close, but there are lots of them to see! It had just rained so the ground was muddy in some areas. A suggestion is to wear shoes you don’t mind getting dirty or water shoes. The ground is uneven in some areas - not recommended for elderly.
The next stop was the turtle beach where Patrick took us in the water to snorkel with the sea turtles. Patrick has his own area for your bags on a deck above the bar area. There are very steep rocky stairs to get up to this area (again not a tour for anyone with mobility restrictions). Unfortunately a lot of the chairs in this area were broken and it was not a nice area to sit. A suggestion for Patrick would be to get some nicer lounge chairs for guests to sit to enjoy this area more. Patrick provides the snorkel equipment as well as a life jacket. Patrick brings a bucket of fish in the water to attract the turtles. This was incredible as we were literally inches away from the turtles. The turtles are not fearful at all and will come super close to you. Patrick takes pictures on his go pro during the snorkelling which he then sends to you for free after the excursion which is awesome!!! The beach itself isn’t aesthetically pleasing but the experience of swimming with the turtles is incredible.
The last stop was a BEAUTIFUL beach with crystal clear turquoise water making up for the beach where the snorkelling occurs. We spent an hour here and it was one of our favourite beaches we saw during our cruise. There are food and drinks available here for $.
Patrick does provide drinks (soft drinks and water) for free during the tour! As well as the free pictures of the turtles.
Overall I would recommend this tour! read less

This trip was very educational learning about the history of the island while the guides pointed out specific areas and explained their significance. They also allowed us to take pictures by pulling over in the bus. The best part was a private villa where we stored out belongings while snorkeling which was a nice surprise and also shaded us from the "liquid sunshine" (we had a couple rain showers). We saw a total of 7 sea turtles and got some great pics from our tour guy Patrick!
Big shout out to Patrick, Eddie and Jenna! Would definitely recommend to others wanting to see sea turtles and discover the island of Curacao. read less

The other highlight was our van guide, Larry. One of the best guides we ever had. Good history, but main thing was his personality. He makes that human connection and provided us with laughter, fun and karaoke in his van... with a lighted disco ball. You didn't want the ride to stop. I would recommend this tour. read less

It was so much fun!!!! Patrick and Sevi were great, making us feel like we were their friends. We did swimming with the turtles, and it was super!!! We had a great time!!! They delivered what they offer!!!! I totally recommend it

Awesome tour!! Sevi and Juriena were amazing guides and showed all the highlights of the island and were open to switching itinerary based on what we wanted to see! Highlight was for sure swimming with the turtles. That was unforgettable!

Eddie and Patrik Oh what can I say about Eddie and Patrik, amazing tour guides, both made us laugh both very informative about the island! Amazing experience with the turtles, took us to a stunning beach with crystal clear waters. Brilliant day. Brilliant pictures one of which I managed to photobomb! Would highly recommend this tour!

Swimming with turtles in the Caribbean fantastic We went swimming with turtles with Curacao Dreams Travel the whole experience was fantastic.

We boarded the bus at the cruise port and had a lovely friendly welcome. Our bus driver was named Eddie he told us all about the history of the island as he drove around pointing out places of interest. First we went to lakes where flamingos were we spent around 30 mins there where we took lots of photos. Then we travelled to the bay where the turtles were. We were given masks and snorkels and got to swim with them for around 1.30 hours. The turtles were all around you swimming alongside and underneath you, it was a fantastic experience. There were also a lot of tropical fish swimming around in small shoals. When we had finished there we were taken to a small sandy cove where we spent around a hour, the sand was white and like flour it was perfect to finish off the trip. Whilst on the bus they provided soft drinks or water. It was a fantastic tour and we'll worth the money, we booked the trip through trip advisor. read less

Swimming with Sea Turtles Magical experience! Highly recommend this experience, Patrick and team very prepared for guest and very knowledgeable about island.

Snorkeling with the Sea Turrltes was AWESOME We booked this trip as a shore excursion. While the rest of the tour was good, but the sea turtles stole the show. Patrik got us to the snorkeling spot ahead of larger groups which was very nice!

Second amazing visit! We enjoyed our excursion with Sevi and Patrick so much last time we decided to use them again on our port visit. Service was perfect. We were picked up at the pier in a nice air conditioned bus and given a history talk by Eddy, our driver, as we traveled to Grote Knip. What a beautiful beach.

We were picked up at the pier in a nice air conditioned bus and given a history talk by Eddy, our driver, as we traveled to Grote Knip. What a beautiful beach. Next stop swimming with the turtles. As we went later in the day the big cluster of visitors was gone so we basically had the turtles to ourselves. We were never rushed and everyone interacted with these beautiful sea creatures until we were done and the sun was sinking. We even stopped by the flamingoes on the way back to port and Patrick took whoever wanted to go out to see a flamingo they have named George (he was quite friendly). We arrived back at port with many more happy memories and cannot wait to see you again (we also made a stop at a drug store for one of the tour participants that needed something which I thought was super impressive).

A really good tour I did this tour in January 2019 and had such a good time that I brought my grand children to experience this wonderful tour.

Awesome Tour This was an awesome tour. I highly recommend. Patrick and his wife and staff were very accommodating. I would book this again!!!!

Best Excursion This Trip Patrick and Eddie were great! They were interesting and fun. We snorkeled with the tortoises, swam at a beautiful, small, uncrowded beach, and saw lots of flamingos at our last stop. Patrick is from Germany, and Eddie is a local former firefighter. Both spoke good English and had interesting stories about the island to share. ... read morePatrick and Eddie were great! They were interesting and fun.

Both spoke good English and had interesting stories about the island to share. I was concerned that we didn't get off the ship as quickly as planned, and we were a couple of minutes late, but Patrick was waiting for us at Starbucks. We asked directions when we exited the ship, and it was easy to find. I recommend this experience, and we'd happily do it again. read less

However, Eddie was at the dock with a "Curacao Dreams" sign and we had to do very little walking to our transportation. Eddie then picked up Patrick and the rest of our travelers at the Starbucks. I was thrilled that this was a small group, large van, but, not overbooked. Everyone had a comfortable seat, no one in the "jump" seats. All along the way, both Eddie and Patrick gave us all kinds of background and history on Curacao.
Our first stop was the flamingos. Very cool to see them in the wild. We got great pictures, and learned all about them and Curacao from Patrick. Patrick said sometimes they are closer, sometimes they are farther away. We were happy to see them as they were.
The second stop was snorkeling with the turtles. I appreciated being told why the turtles are so abundance here (the fisherman make their money feeding them so the tourists can see them). I had no problem tipping the fishermen before we left. There are plenty of fish to see as well. Clearly Patrick LOVES his job! I have been snorkeling for 30 years and he is the first person who can out snorkel me. He took many pictures underwater of the turtles and us swimming with the turtles. The bonus-there was no additional charge for his photos. He took many photos and a few videos (with us in them), and his photos are FANTASTIC! (A different excursion cost us an additional $30 for photos on a thumb drive that were decent, but, 90% other snorkelers.)
The third stop was at a beach where we could grab a bite to eat and a drink (bring cash for this). Food was good, beer was cold, couple was happy. Beautiful beach and a great place for pictures.
I cannot say enough great things about this trip. Eddie and Patrick were very much aware of what time we needed to be back on the ship, yet, I never felt rushed at any of the stops. Being an avid snorkeler I never feel like I get enough time in the water when I'm on a tour. This was the first time I felt like I was able to really enjoy as much time as I wanted. We were out longer than the tour advertised since we were not rushed, but, we were back to the dock in plenty of time.
If I go back to Curacao I would do this trip again because they did such a great job. read less

We got an unexpected and nice tour of the island prior to swimming with the turtles - stopping along the way to see the flamingos and historical sites. The actual swimming with turtles and snorkeling near them was really great and the images Patrick captured allowed us to enjoy it more than once (and share with our friends). While I have seen turtles while scuba diving, this close encounter was memorable. There was plenty of time allowed to do further snorkeling around the dock area and nearby reefs and it was nice to see new coral growth. Our stop at Grote Knip beach was nice and one can understand its popularity - scenic, white sand, sheltered beautiful clear waters - for tourists. A place to come back to. We enjoyed our time with Patrick and got a lot of history about Curacao plus a lot of trivia, but good trivia, from Eddie. read less

Patrick and Eddie were very friendly, picked us up right near the apartment we were staying in on Handelskade and shared a lot of great information and history about the island while we travelled to the destination. They provided water and soda in addition to snorkeling equipment. As other reviewers have also mentioned Patrick takes a ton of great pictures and sends them to you after the tour.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to learn a bit about the island and get some good snorkeling in. read less

Review vacation Perfect hotel, directly to the beach. The rooms are quit big, clean and practical. Nice personal and a great location. Really enjoyed my vacation there. If I have to say 1 point to improve, it would be the food in the restaurant.

Patrick was an excellent host and took lots of photos of the turtles while we swam around the harbour where the turtles and fish were. On the way up to the harbour Patrick's assistant Eddie gave us a interesting and at times humorous account of the history of Curacao, on the way back to our apartment we were taken a different route and stopped off to see the flamingos that live on the island during the winter. a great morning with a good host. read less

Feeling at home in Curacao Very nice design hotel, though some places feel a bit dated. The service at the lobby, in general, was very good. When we had complaints, we were assisted. The rooms with lobby view are very noisy though especially since the bar of the hotel was close. There was nobody in the bar but the music was loud.

The rooms with lobby view are very noisy though especially since the bar of the hotel was close. There was nobody in the bar but the music was loud. We had to ask to put it lower every night so if you prefer rest take another room or hotel. The room was very clean so special shoutout to the cleaners. The salt swimming pool was very dirty and smelly, the lights were not working. Come on, Papagayo, you can fix this.Last but not least, we booked here because Papagayo is adult only but there were a lot of children. But, If you want a great holiday book Papagayo! We will certainly return! read less

Awesome tour Very organized tour picked us up at our villa and
Told us the history of Curaçao! The turtle experience wAs amazing - and could not beat the beach we went to afterwards! Patrick was awesome! Would do it over again

It was an amazing adventure! We were able to swim with the turtles as they were fed fish; the turtles had no fear and really didn't care that we were right over them. The water was warm, beautiful, and clear allowing Patrick to take some amazing photos for us! Playa Kenepa Grandi was, in fact, the most beautiful beach we've ever seen. Eddie told us a lot of great Curacao info along the ride and the guys offered water, iced tea, or soda as we rode. Perfect day!! read less
