Great tour that was enjoyed by all. The guide Lupe was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The tour of the city, the caves, and time spent at the beach was amazing. We highly recommend this tour when you’re on the island!!

The van was in good shape. Our driver was friendly and informative. We felt safe at all times. We enjoyed the drive and the information about the city and island. The Caves are amazing and different from other caves in the USA. The Beach was clean and the food and drink service was very good.
Great tour! Thank you!

The excursion was everything that was promised. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer many additional questions that the group had. The beach they took us to was not crowded, yet still had great amenities. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The caves were a bit warm but the bats and formations are cool. The city tour is short. The flamingos were nice to see in the wild. Loved going to Kokomo Beach. The water was beautiful and the snorkeling was fantastic. There is a dive shop right there if you want to dive. It is 6.00 for chairs but so worth it. The food is real good too.

Excellent overall tour! Be patient with meet-up & start of tour as there are a TON of people walking around. Alejandra, our tour guide, was excellent and kept us engaged. My wife and I got great pictures throughout this beautiful island! I highly recommend this excursion, but ensure you read up on the activity level required.

The tour guide and driver were friendly, knowledgeable and made our visit to their beautiful city fun and relaxing. Loved seeing the pelicans and the beach was wonderful. The caves were impressive and better than I had imagined. I would use this tour group again.

City, Cave and Beach Excursion on Curacao
May 29, 2019
This was an excellent excursion! We boarded a spacious, air conditioned coach and our guide giving interesting information along the way. Then we reached the Hato Caves and took a slow journey up to the cave entrance. There we were met by a guide for the caves. We were given a guided tour of the Water Chamber, Cathedral Chamber, Fantasy Chamber, Green Chamber and the Dark Chamber of the cave. Very interesting! Our guide was very accommodating in taking group photos which was appreciated. Next, we boarded the coach and were taken to Mambo Beach which was a lovely beach with tiki umbrella, food areas, beach bars for tropical cocktails and a fabulous swim area. What was especially nice was that there was a break wall before the swim area so it was nice and calm to walk in the water and see all the fish and sea life. After the beach time, we went back to Fort Rif to disembark and walk along the water and shop the vendors.
Reviewer: Clare Schmidt

A Lovely Day
April 18, 2019
This was a wonderful full day. The caves although difficult to access for anyone with leg, knee or hip problems, were amazing. You could opt out of going into the caves. The Beach, Mambo beach was wonderful. You could rent chairs, and order food and drinks, right on the beach. Our tour guide was one of the best we have ever had.

City Caves & Beach
March 10, 2019
This was a nice tour to see the area. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The cave history was interesting. The climb up/down the stairs to get to the mouth of the cave could be difficult for people that have trouble with stairs, but there were opportunities to rest.

Curacao Caves are fantastinc
February 27, 2019
What a surprise ...the Caves were spectacular and well presented. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour although we could have had a little more understanding of what was available at the beach and a bit more time (maybe even a stop) in the city to enjoy the sights.

Amazing Excursion
August 20, 2018
This excursion was so much fun. Tour guide brought us threw all parts of the island which had awesome views, then stopped at the caves. The caves had a lot of climbing and had tight areas. But overall it was a great experience. The beach they brought us to was beautiful. They also have shops and restaurants there. You get to the beach too late in the day so the beach was overpacked with little seating available.

Amazing Tour with Penny!
June 04, 2018
This tour was a highlight of our cruise! Penny was absolutely amazing and full of information about Curacao. She is so passionate and proud of her island and you can definitely tell. She gave an amazing tour and we even stopped at the distillery as a special surprise. She took us through the distillery and even helped out the staff that was handing out the free samples to keep the line moving quick. We arrived right on time for everything and had a great time at the beach to end the day off! Thank you Penny for making our experience in Curacao informative and fun!!!

Aida and Peny are great! Fun tour
May 14, 2018
Our tour guide’s name was Peny, and she was very funny and interactive with us. The driver was named Aida and she was a very safe driver, very kind and welcoming as well. We learned a lot about the island during this tour and even got a chance to see the distillery (which was a bonus). The caves are amazing and I highly recommend this tour if you like to learn about everything Curacao has to offer. This tour had a bit of everything and we enjoyed the air-conditioned shuttle that took us around the island. Very informative about the island's history.

The tour was very nice and informative. The kid giving it was so nice and fun to be around as well as the driver. Sorry I can’t remember their names as it’s been a couple weeks ago. The caves are really cool and the beach they took us to was really nice. It did rain on and off which made this tour even better. They dropped us off downtown which was a short walk to the pier so we could get some lunch. I was trying to get a tip out when they pulled away. Worth the tip and visit

A Nice Variety
July 27, 2017
This tour had a bit of everything. The air-conditioned shuttle took us around the island, and the host was very informative about the island's history. We then enjoyed the caves. Next, we stopped at the beach for about two hours. It would have been better if lounge chairs were included and the stay at the beach could have been a bit longer. Finally, you had the option of being dropped off to shop and walk a short distance back to the ship. Overall, it was a good excursion but would have liked more time at each place.

April 13, 2017
This tour is overall a good value for the money. It gave us a way to experience three different venues on the island. The guide was entertaining and provided us with a water bottle which was unexpected. We were extremely grateful because the caves were hot with a forty step workout. The bus was air-conditioned, which was a bonus, we saw so many that were not. The beach was a great place that had nice shops to enjoy for those who were done with the sun, sand and crowd.

February 21, 2017
Great 1/2 day excursion. In addition to the City, Caves and Beach, tour guides stopped for a quick photo op of the pelicans. Tour guides very friendly and knowledgeable. Areas for improvement: Have clearly marked signs at pick up area. When adding mini-van to accommodate extra people limit passengers to no more than 6 (including driver). Similar to beach admission, include beach lounges in the excursion price. Good value.

We had a lovely tour! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and prompt. We especially enjoyed "no line" waiting for a tour bus and the number of 12 was perfect for getting individual attention. A small bus, a great guide, and prompt and attentive service all made this a great tour for us.

Too Many Options
January 19, 2017
This was a tour jam packed with a lot of activites, all of which were much fun. The cave was interesting, the time spend at the each was relaxing, but I had wished that more time was spent there. In an effort to accomodate everyone, we were given the option of staying at the beach for 15 minutes or for an hour. The tour guides left some people behind who only stayed for 15 minutes. Who knows who was at fault since the guides had no idea who wanted to stay for the short time. It was no big deal really, they had to stay an extra 45 minutes at a beautiful sunset at a very lovely beach, but whey were nevertheless very upset. There was also confusion on the way back on the city tour because people were given too many options on what they wanted to do. However the city at night was magical and our tour guide and her daughter were so sweet that I would still recommend this tour even with the difficulties.

This Excursion Covers it All
December 09, 2016
Rosie was our tour guide for the day. She talked the entire time she drove us explaining all about Curacao's history, customs, traditions and sights. She took us to the Curacao Liqueur Factory as an added stop to taste their famous liqueurs. The tour covered the top sights to see including the Caves and Flamingos and through the town to see the architecture and their famous bridge. The last stop on the tour was at the beach. Although it was crowded we spent most of our time in the clear blue water which was calm enough to snorkel. The sand was exceptionally clean and white. We highly recommend this tour and Rosie, our driver. We will book this tour again and request Rosie.
