Curacao Unveiled: Caves, Turtles & Beach Paradise Tour

Very good tour and the guides were excellent. Lady was a pleasure and made it very enjoyable. Interesting sites and great explanations.

Lisa was one of the best tour guides ever! Great knowledge of local history sharing her family's multi cultural history. We learned about Curcao soccer team going to the World Cup! Go Blue Wave Snorkeling with sea turtles was awesome. Lisa's time management at each stop was exceptional - experienced so much of Curacao in one trip.

Easy to book a trip and pickup at the ship was easy and great. Debbie was our driver and Marsha was a guide. Both were excellent. Caves were beautiful and the swim with the turtles was great. We both enjoyed the beach.

I loved our tour our guides were so fun and amazing Marsha and Bob. the trip was memorable and so much fun. the caves were so cool and the snorkeling was so amazing it was such a Dushi excursion. we would totally do it again. Bob and Marsha were so Dushi guides.

The bus with no windows was horrific. It rained all over us almost the entire time. They don’t tell you that you’re going to get that bus but it’s horrible. The rest of the trip was nice.

We did the “Wonders of Curaçao: caves, turtles & beaches” tour with Lisa and it was an absolute blast! Lisa made the whole day a true pleasure. Her knowledge of Curaçao from history through to the modern day was incredible. It was a joy of a day as we got to explore deep into one of the caves of Curaçao. We were lucky enough to see a good number of turtles where she took us to snorkel, and the place we went for lunch was great too! I highly recommend taking this tour and crossing your fingers that you get Lisa.

A great experience! I liked that you get to go to three different places in one day and admission is included for everything. Swimming with the turtles was really fun. Be warned though that the first beach is a fisher man’s beach so you are going to be swimming with fish guts since that is how they attract the turtles. But the tour guide let us know everything ahead of time and gave very clear instructions on when to come back to the bus. Pick up an drop off to the hotel is also included

Oct 28/25 Lady, tour guide was a wealth of information and entertaining! Bus driver was fab and safe. Third staff...not sure...along for the ride?? Lol Hato Caves was interesting? Guide in caves knowledgeable. Only allowed to take pics in designated areas...disappointing but for safety. Art outside on buildings was beautiful and landscaping was well done with native plants. Turtles were few but stunning. Older man calls them with sounds of processing fish...pls tip this older man as it is how he makes a living! This man will also guide them to your lap for $10 for pics. Wish we could have stayed longer! Seemed rushed. Pig beach ( sorry can't remember official name) was a hopping place. Lots of chairs and shade. 3.50US for a chair, admission covered with tour. Snorkeling here was successful on left side of beach by cliffs...many varieties of fish seen. Food not included in tour was a disappointment, especially since it was a full day trip and food prices at beach outrageous! Dive shop is also here and a boutique store

Our experience on this tour was fantastic from start to finish. Lady, our guide, was so much fun and kept everyone laughing and engaged throughout the day. The tour company was extremely organized. Their agent met us inside the cruise terminal, took our names, and kept us updated on when the bus would arrive. Even though our tour was scheduled for 9 a.m., the bus arrived early, and the agent personally found us in the market and escorted us to the bus. It was seamless and stress-free. The open-air bus was perfect for the island weather. Even in October, the constant breeze kept us comfortable the entire ride. Our first stop was the Hato Caves, and while waiting for our group to enter, we walked the short nature trail. The rock formations, cacti, and lizards along the path made it well worth the stroll. Inside the caves, groups are divided by language, so everyone gets a tour they can follow easily. The groups were a bit large, but it didn’t take away from the experience. Photography is limited because of the protected bats, but they do allow pictures deeper inside the cave. We’ve toured caves across Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Texas, and Tennessee, but these were unlike any we’ve ever seen, with unique formations, tropical surroundings, and an incredible sense of history. Next, we visited the turtle beach, located beside a small fishing camp. We saw several sea turtles, though they appeared sporadically and the area was a bit crowded. Since we had already seen plenty of turtles in Aruba, we took the chance to snorkel along the coast and were rewarded with an amazing variety of tropical fish. The final stop was a beach with a bar and restaurant, where we spent two relaxing hours. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, as were the beach chairs. We brought our own snorkel gear, which I highly recommend for anyone cruising the ABC islands. Having it ready let us explore every snorkeling opportunity, and this beach turned out to be one of the best for marine variety. I even had a close encounter with a moray eel, which became one of the highlights of the entire trip. This beach was spacious, peaceful, and easy to find a private spot. Honestly, I could have stayed there all day. The tour returned us right on schedule at 4 p.m., giving plenty of time before our ship’s 5 p.m. boarding. Overall, this was an excellent tour for cruisers, well organized, perfectly paced, and a great way to see much of Curaçao in one unforgettable day.

Truly enjoyed the experience. The Irie team were well versed on the history of the island and shared with the group. The caves were quite interesting and although a bit hectic, snorkelling at the turtle beach was fun. The PortoMari beach was nice but thought that the visit could have been a little shorter. A worthwhile adventure.
