Swimming with sea turtles with the Award Winner 2023 & 2024

We were a little afraid to go out into the ocean in the beginning, Patrick ended up bringing us a turtle closer to shallow waters where we were and then we started getting the hang of how to float with the life vest and use the snorkel equipment Patrick provided and we were able to go out further with Patrick and the rest of the group. He talked about the background and history of Curaçao and showed us different things on the way to the beach (he provides transportation as well). We stopped at 3 different beaches and even a few of Curaçao’s most important places. The sea turtles also love him! It was amazing and so was he. Highly recommend! It was 100% worth it.

Had a great time! Just a couple of turtles, but fantastic and awesome experience. Bring an underwater camera with you! Patrick, our guide was great as well.

By far the best excursion we have ever taken! Pick-up at Gate 2 at the terminal was a breeze. You can’t miss Patrick- tall, blonde German man. Both he and the driver, Sexy Eddie, provided a history of the island on the way to a beautiful beach that wasn’t crowded- we stayed there for an hour before heading to the turtle snorkel. Arriving at the turtle snorkel spot- Patrick & Eddie had their own private spot and a rooftop location to store your belongings- this gave additional peace of mind that personal items were secure. Masks and vests (optional) were provided. Equipment was in great condition. You walk right off the beach to their “spot” which is not where the rest of the people are located. You are only snorkeling in about 8 feet of water and there were no currents- easiest snorkeling and not strenuous. The turtles knew Patrick. He is the turtle whisperer. They literally swam right over to him when they saw him get into the water and stayed with our group for a solid 45 minutes until we got out. Patrick kept pictures and videos rolling as he fed the turtles snacks. It is illegal to touch the turtles and they were so close you had to sometimes swim backwards to avoid touching them. Once back on the bus, Patrick airdropped almost 200 photos and videos to everyone- all spectacular! The cost is included, which is a great deal. We probably had 30-40 pictures of just us (my husband and me) with the turtles. Patrick made sure to take plenty of each person or group. Do not hesitate to book this tour!!! It is an incredible experience. We can’t wait to come back to Curacao to bring our kids to do this with us!
