Our tour guides, Patrick and Sexy Eddie, were amazing. They gave us quite the history lesson of the island, filled with fun stories en route to an incredibly beautiful beach (Grote Knip).

Patrick and Eddie were excellent hosts and very knowledgeable of the islands history. Seeing the turtles was great. This is an excellent way to spend the day.

This tour and snorkel was fantastic. First, it was easy to set up and the communication was excellent. We were picked up at our hotel. Our guide and driver, Eddie, was really great. He was a retired firefighter who clearly knew the history of the island. It is a 45 minute drive to Grove Knip Beach. Eddie gave a history of the island while also pointing out some historical and cultural sites. Grote Knip Beach itself was beautiful. We got spectacular pictures overlooking the beach. Note that if you want to snorkel at Grove Knip you either need to bring your own gear or rent at the beach. After spending an hour/hour and a half at the beach, we drove to the second site, which was where we snorkeled with the sea turtles. We had an excellent guide who fed the turtles and took pictures of everyone in the group with the turtles in the water. Snorkel gear was available at this spot. It truly was a great experience for my family.

We booked this tour as part of a 12 hours cruise ship port of call in Curaçao. Patrick was actually ahead of schedule and met us right at the exit of the pier and accompanied us to a small bus. The bus was comfortable with good air conditioning. The flamingos stop was amazing as we got lucky and the birds were really close by. The stop at Grote Knip was picturesque and we had a refreshing dip. You should be aware that you need to buy coins ($1 US dollar when we were there) if you want to shower your feet, as well as if you want to use the long chairs ($4) that are available. Our last stop was the sea turtles… the company has a safe place on top of a restaurant by the beach where you can setup your gear before going in the water. There were about 5 sea turtles leisurely swimming close to shore… as well as several other tours doing the same thing. We enjoyed the tour and it gives a very good overview of the North-West of the island. In order to not hurt the turtles (or the people around you), there are no fins for the tour and this is truly a swimming activity.

This was an awesome experience! Patrick and Sexy Eddie were very informative, telling us all about the history of the island and keeping us entertained on the drive to our stops. From the flamingos, to the sea turtles, to sunbathing at Grote Knip Beach, this excursion was fantastic. We had our own private rooftop area at the beach where we snorkeled. The restaurant below served fresh catch of the day and beer for lunch. AND the best part is Patrick takes the most amazing pictures and videos of your sea turtle swim and then sends them all to you for free. 10/10

Patrick was great to provide us with the island’s history. However, when we arrived at Playa Grandi/Piskeda, we saw hundreds of snorkelers all vying to get close to the 2 stressed sea turtles. The guy that sits on the dock yells and bangs his machete knife… This was disturbing in many ways… the sea turtles in my opinion were stressed, having no room to swim. Let’s leave them in their natural state so they can roam, be free and happy, instead of hauling bus loads of people and hamming them into this small place. Better yet, go to any of the beaches where you might get lucky to come across one on your own.

Patrick and "Sexy Eddy" were amazing! They provided a great history of the island and lots of time at the stops (Flamingos, Beach and Sea Turtles). Patrick took wonderful photos/videos of everyone with the turtles and sent them all instantly afterwards for us to enjoy. It was a nice bonus to have access to a private rooftop to keep our belongings safe while snorkeling and access to a shower to rinse off after being in the ocean. Overall, a great experience and breathtaking views!

Loved Sexy Eddy and Patrick. There is a lot of driving involved getting to the flamingos, Knip beach and then to swim with the turtles. Eddy keeps it interesting and the turtles were great--excellent pics from Patrick too. Just be ready for lot of time in the bus.

Great opportunity to swim with sea turtles. All photos/videos are provided as part of the package. Well-run tour, on-time, friendly and knowledgeable guide/driver.

It was a great day the only thing we had a problem with was that are equipment didn’t work very well but it was a neat experience to be able to swim with the turtles

My husband and I booked the Swim with Sea Turtles excursion during a port stop on our cruise, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our 10-day vacation! From the start, Patrick was fantastic—super responsive to all our pre-trip questions, which we really appreciated. His passion for the island shines through, and he made sure we felt welcome and informed throughout the experience. His driver, Sexy Eddie, was equally wonderful—friendly, fun, and clearly proud to showcase their beautiful island. One of the best parts? Patrick expertly timed our beach stop to avoid the big crowds In the water, he worked tirelessly to bring the turtles close, allowing us to have an up-close encounter. He also captured amazing photos, which were conveniently shared with us on the bus ride back. We highly recommend booking with Patrick.

Sexy Eddie and Patrick were wonderful hosts and provided a wonderful tour. They picked up our group of 13 at the cruise port entrance, and it was easy to find them as we exited. We saw the flamingos first, then went to the beach and finally the turtles. Along the way both Patrick and Eddie provided us with a tour and great information on the history of Curacao. Really enjoyed the turtles and all the pictures Eddie took while we were swimming with them. Highly recommend, such a great way to spend time in Curacao!! Thanks Eddie and Patrick !!

Friendly . Beautiful beaches . Turtles were massive. Two guys were great funny informative. Would recommend too others

The turtles are cool. It was very interesting to find out more about curaçao from people who live there. Patrick and Eddy were both very helpful with my wife who was on crutches. The photos are great.

Patrick & “Sexy” Eddie were very knowledgeable of their island and maintained a nice banter throughout the tour. We saw flamingoes then did a lot of driving to see the countryside and villages. You get about an hour at Grote Knip beach. A pretty rocky beach but still beautiful. There are some good and drink stands here. Chairs cost $5 each. Toilets are available for $1 per use. The beach was pretty busy but a nice break of fresh air. When we got to the turtle spot, we got to see 3 sea turtles. The turtle beach is where fishermen cut & dump the trash bits of fish into the water, which attracts the turtles. Patrick will have pieces of fish in his pocket to keep the turtles near. It was amazing to be so close to these beautiful animals. Patrick did a great job of getting pics on his go pro that he air dropped on the way back to the ship. The turtle beach is rocky and uneven and smells of fish for obvious reasons. You’ll come out of the water smelling of cut up fish too 😂. Patrick will lead you to the rooftop where you can leave your stuff while you’re with the turtles. Mixed feelings of safety of our belongings on the roof, but we didn’t have any issues during our visit. I recommend not wearing your flip flops or sunglasses down to the water and leaving them on the rooftop - mine got washed away by the ocean while I was in with the turtles. Thankfully they have vendor stalls near by that sell souvenirs and water shoes. I was shocked at how much time we had in the water with the turtles. At least an hour. You get exactly what they say you’ll get in the description.
