Best friend and I are both in our 50's, larger, luscious, opinionated, Iowa farm gals. Ray met us promptly at Starbucks. Very knowledgeable about his country, and his love for the area is apparent. Asked what we wanted to see that day, he added a few suggestions, and we were off! Drove past the street murals and colorful homes, with Ray commenting on the history of the island. Saw the floating bridge as it was closing, and random goats that run wild on the island. Went to Shete Boka National Park to see the blow hole. Checked out the wind turbine site. We saw a few flamingos at the salt flats from a distance, since it's the wrong time of year for migration. The place Ray chose for lunch was absolutely delish, (shrimp pasta and shrimp enchiladas- NOT what we consider enchiladas, and it was amazing!) and their strawberry daiquiris were top notch. You could also cliff dive from here as well. Finished up the tour by beach hopping. I don't have many pictures of the beach, because we took snorkeling tours in Aruba and Bonaire, so this was more of a "see the sites" tour for us. We went to swim with the turtles and did see one large turtle. Then made stops at Klein Knip beach, Playa Kalkim and Playa Jeremi. Ray then dropped us off right in front of our cruise. It was an absolutely wonderful day, and we would certainly recommend this tour. Whatever you want to focus on, we are confident Ray will do his best to ensure your day is perfect!
