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

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

Absolutely amazing! Patrick and Eddie picked us up at our rental house driving us to Playa Piscado to swim with the turtles, and then to Playa Kenepa Grandi to hang at the "most beautiful beach on Curacao."

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

Turtle Excursion Patrick and Eddie were amazing. Our group couldn't have asked for two better people to guide us through Curaçao and the turtle experience. Bring us to the beautiful beach at the end was the icing on the cake. Thank you both so much for giving me a once in a lifetime experience

A wonderful tour of Curacao! We were a party of four and were picked up in an SUV by Sevi and Jurinia. They took us to see the flamingoes, then to Playa Piskado, to swim with the turtles.

My wife’s dream came true.Then on to Shete Boka National Park where we saw the powerful sea hit a cove with so much force the water went so high in the air.Saw goats at a distance also. Then they took us the most beautiful beach, Sabana Westpunt where we stayed fir an hour and a half. Absolutely beautiful beach. Then back to the city and our ship. There is a lot of driving but they have refreshments and delicious banana rum cake. I totally recommend this personalized tour. read less

Patrick texted to verify meeting time and location, which was helpful. The extra stops to see flamingos and Knip Beach were awesome! The sea turtles are HUGE! And they swim right up next to you! I tried not to touch them, but sometimes they just run into you! The fishermen on the pier are very helpful by feeding the turtles. There were quite a few to watch. Probably the best thing about picking this tour is the pictures that Patrick takes! They are sooooo awesome! You get to enjoy the experience while he works on getting good shots! It’s a stress-free experience, and I wound highly recommended using them. read less

Wow - amazing experience Going snorkeling has been on my husbands “bucket list” for years and as he is fast approaching 50 we decided to bite the bullet and do it this year. We are so glad ... a truly amazing experience not to be missed ...

They first took us to see the turtles, then the beach and two different places to see the flamingos. Eddy was extremely entertaining and Patrick was very friendly and they both were very nice.
We got everything we paid for and more. Patrick got great videos and pictures with his gopro, and Eddy kept us entertained with his knowledge of the island and his singing.
The tour was a great price compared to Carnival's, and there was only 7 of us and we moved around in a van. We
stopped at one place where my son, his girlfriend and another woman jumped off a cliff down into the water.
The flamingos were pretty far away, but it was cool to see them in their natural surroundings. The four of us loved the tour and we definitely would book again if we went back. Swimming with the turtles was incredible and it was so amazing to see those beautiful faces up close.
Thank you Patrick and Eddy for an amazing time. The only negative was the van a/c but that should be an easy fix. We totally recommend this excursion with Patrick and Eddy. More read less

The perfect day This trip really is the perfect day!! Sevi and Patricia are really welcoming!! They took us on a tour of the island and adapted the day for us to visit the pigs!! What a beautiful place it is!! Defo would recommend to anyone visiting to book a trip!! More

Sevi had rum punch and delicious cake for us, and we got to spend an hour or so at the beach.
After that, we went to the Curacao alcohol distillery for a self-guided tour and tasting. There was a car accident, so Patricia expertly changed her route so we would not get stuck in traffic, and we had an impromptu tour of the city.
I would recommend Curacao Dreams to anyone visiting Curacao!
One note: Curacao is a fairly large Caribbean island, and the turtles are on the other side from the cruise pier, so be prepared for a 45 minute drive in each direction. More read less

They are great tour guides and very knowledgeable, they share some history of the island on our way to see the Flamingos & Turtles. Once at the beach we were give the use of snorkel and goggles. We was amazed how quick the turtles came up to us which will allow you to take photos/videos. Patrick also uses his GoPro and took some great pictures ( which he sends to you when back on the bus ) When we were there the fishermen would feed the turtles to bring them in to the shallower water which was good, but if you swim out a little further the water is much clearer and you will get even better pictures.
We would recommend this tour to everyone.....great experience.

I received an immediate response and was able to book a tour for our family of three -- myself, husband, and son (9) -- later the same week. We were picked up at our resort (Sunscape) at 9:00 a.m. by the owner Patrick and driver Patricia. We were touring with 8 people total in a small taxi/van. During the drive both Patrick and Patricia gave us details on the landmarks we were passing as well as the history of Curacao. First stop was to see the flamingos in their natural habitat and then onto the sea turtles. Everyone on the trip had their own snorkel gear, but you could borrow gear if necessary. The turtle conservation area is a busy spot and can get chaotic. There is a gentleman on the dock throwing fish into the water to draw the turtles, and there was a large cluster of snorkeling onlookers in that immediate area. However, when we swam a little further out, you were able to get a much better look at the turtles (which are everywhere) without the crowd. Patrick is an expert with his GoPro and took some amazing shots (a few included here). He shares the photos from the trip immediately following via AirDrop, so I recommend bringing an iPhone. Patrick was also thoughtful enough to get a great family photo... I contacted Curacao Dreams by email during our stay after reading the great reviews on TripAdvisor.

Worked perfectly with our cruise Easy pick up at the dock, the flamingos weren't the highlight but swimming with the turtles was amazing! They were everywhere and it was easy snorkeling, too. Well worth it and a part of our trip we'll never forget! More

Excellent experience snorkeling with turtles. We visited Curacao while on a cruise. The tour guide was easy to find from the cruise ship terminal. The ride to the flamingo site was informative and the snorkeling was unbelievable. I would definitely recommend this tour for people visiting Curacao.

Honestly, it's worth every penny. They pick you up and provide you with cold drinks and a lot of helpful insights and tips in the everyday life of the isle as well as giving you interesting facts of Curacaos history on the way to the turtle beach.
There you will see lots of turtles, so close you could even touch them (but you shouldn't).Patrick also takes fotos and send them to you in the end.
After spending enough time there you will also see flamingos in two different spots.
All in all it was a more than wonderful experience which we wouldn't want to miss!
I think it's definitely one thing to put on the bucket list! More read less

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

Great tour ever! I would go to this tour again in a heartbeat, the stops were great, the experience with the turtles was amazing, breath taking our favorite part. The time at the beach was very nice and the water is so clear it feels you are inside a pool. We definitely recommend this tour and even more for groups with kids.

Highlight of our trip First, I want to say that swimming with these magnificent creatures was really cool. You get up close to these beautiful animals and watch them glide through the water.

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!

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

Great adventure, flamingos and turtles. I would take this excursion again if I ever come back to Curacao. 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 did not have an iPhone, so he wasn't able to hook me up with all the pics, but he did email me some of them through email. Which I greatly...

He provided us with pop and water for the ride back to our hotels.
This was a wonderful excursion. The kids and adults all had a good time. More read less

LIFE MADE, CAN’T WAIT TO GO BACK ?? (Carnival Horizon Cruise) I apologize in advance for the length of this review, but...I cannot adequately express how unbelievable this excursion was.

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. The little platform where we changed and left our stuff was comfortable, but you had to...

The little platform where we changed and left our stuff was comfortable, but you had to climb what I can only describe as a natural rock formation that resembled stairs to get to it. 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

We are so glad we choose this tour, as we had such a great time snorkeling with the turtles and seeing the flamingos! 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

Breathtaking experience We had a great time visiting the Flamingos and Turtles of Curacao with Patrick and Severine, having a private tour with only 4 guests. They are very passionate about their job and this beautiful island! Thanks a lot!

Snorkeling with turtles Absolutely fantastic! Patrick was a kind guide and the photos he took with his camera (included in the price) are the best. The only thing we had to do was floating and enjoy the turtles swimming by. We’d recommend this trip to everyone! And Patrick thanks again for the beautiful pictures you took! Carin & Joey

Curacao excursion The guides were amazing! The history discussion was extensive on the drive out and back. And the actual snorkeling with turtles was an experience not to be missed. The location was not crowded, very non-commercial, and incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend. Would not have been the same if booked through the cruise line - go with Patrick!
