Patrick, the guide, makes sure you Will see turtles (this happens at another location) and many! He has a trick. The equipment provided Is good quality.

Sexi Eri Is an open book, he Is a local and passionate about the history of Curazao and he has a remarkable general knowledge . Also they are very patient anda helpfull at all times.

I can say we had a blast. Patrick and Eddie were amazing tour guides giving a lot of information during the half hour bus ride to the turtles. At the turtle beach we had our own roof top area where we could put our stuff and even change into the swim wear. Water was also provided as well as clean and good quality snorkeling gear for every one. We got to see the turtles close up, it was amazing also for our 6 year old. The other stops were great too. It was a great tour and very well worth the money. Many thanks to Patrick and Eddie for the great service incl. high quality underwater pictures. And Patrick even delivered our towels which we forgot in the bus back to our hotel!read less

They drove us to the west side of the island and gave us a lot of great information about Curacao and it’s history during our drive.
We had a separate area at the site to keep our belongings and to get our snorkeling gear. All the gear was in great shape..
As soon as we hit the water, turtles came to us. Patrick had brought some tuna meat to help with the process. It was truly amazing to see these creatures up close.
No need to take you camera, Patrick took 180 pictures that he air dropped to all of us in the bus ride back.
After about an hour with the turtles, we packed up and headed to another beach for swimming and lunch on your own.
We got drenched with a ten minute shower which was kind of cool!
Overall, this trip was fantastic in that the turtles and the fish were many and close to shore.
If you only have time for one trip, this is it!
Enjoy and safe travels!read less

We had scheduled a “small group” (per their description) tour for the 9 of us initially. Four days out, we cancelled for 4 friends who didn’t make it on the trip due to COVID. I confirmed with Curaçao Dreams that they would keep our tour as scheduled for just the remaining 5 of us. Patrick had even confirmed the evening before the tour, where he would meet the 5 of us. Then, he texted me that the driver will not drive for 5 people. Needless to say, I spent my evening trying to find a replacement tour rather than enjoying my vacation. I had no luck with drivers or rental cars as it was last minute and peak season. I’ve never experienced flaky tour groups in the decades of traveling all over the world. Patrick had the audacity to tell me how it was not economical for them. Obviously, that’s why I had emailed and confirmed with them numerous times that they would still operate for the 5 of us. “Small group” would also mean 5 or less, which we were in fact. BEWARE, they will say all is good and then CANCEL last minute so your trip is ruined. Their underwater photos look cool but definitely not worth booking an UNRELIABLE company when looking for a smooth relaxing vacation.read less

It was so convenient being picked up right in front of our hotel and dropped back off after our day of fun. Patrick and Eddie were awesome tour guides and we feel we got to see so much of the island and learn so much about the culture from them.
The sea turtles were amazing and they stayed around for such a long time thanks to Patrick feeding them! He also took wonderful high quality photos and made sure that every person received them while on the bus ride back.
We also stopped at the most gorgeous beach I have ever seen in my life after our fun with the sea turtles. We got to hang out at this beach for an hour and I loved getting to see a beach on the other side of the island since our resort is about 35 mins away. It was truly the most perfect day!!!

Patrick was in the water with us and provided us with over 100 pictures of our group in the water with the turtles. Everyone in our group was in the pictures and they were top quality. He downloaded them to our iPhones when we got back on the bus. After that we got to spend an hour at another magnificent beach. You could snorkel, jump off the rocks, or just swim and relax. There were also some food booths and drinks stands. On the way back on the bus we played music and it was a great way to end the trip. If I come back to Curaçao, which I plan to do someday, I will definitely do this excursion again.read less

We met near the cruise ship pier. They rearranged the stops on our tour to get ahead of the cruise ship tours. What a great call, all day it seemed we had the best timing and less crowds!
Our first stop was to see the flamingos on the way to Grote Knip beach. The flamingos were fun to see and there were an abundance of them! The drive to Grote Knip was entertaining and full of island history - between Patrick and Eddie we learned so much! Grote Knip was stunning! Then we headed to the turtle beach near Westpunt, called Playa Piskado. We donned our snorkels (provided), after getting refresher instructions, and walked into the water. Little fish and turtles were everywhere! Patrick even guided the 3 of us out further past the crowds near a fishing boat so we could get a more natural look at the turtles. Patrick took amazing underwater photos, which were included with the tour. We were thrilled with the download of around 100 photos.
Our half day excursion was delightful! Patrick was a great tour guide. I am happy to highly recommend Curacao Dreams!read less

Communication from Curacao dreams was excellent. It was easy to find the tour and Patrick and Eddie were ready and waiting. They are great tour guides and we learned so much about the history and geography of Curaçao.
This is a better tour than the other options for a few reasons: 1) Patrick is able to get you up close to the turtles, they “know” him and come to him. 2) Patrick takes gorgeous pics and videos for you so you can enjoy the experience and now worry about trying to get your own pics. 3) there is a private terrace where we could leave our things. Eddie stays there so no worries about security of your items. There is also a nice view from the terrace and it is shaded. 4) the tour group is relatively small and the bus is air conditioned.
This is the first tour we have ever done. We usually handle things on our own. Now we are already planning to return to Curacao and will be booking any tour they offer. This is a “must do”. Looking forward to doing it again on our next visit.read less

She took us to see the wild flamingos, then stopped and got us a coconut to drink and share with our family. We then went to an absolutely stunning beach!!! We got to snorkel for over an hour and we absolutely loved it. Then she drove us to the beach where the sea turtles were. This was AMAZING!!! We got to swim in crystal clear water with the turtles all around us while Patrick fed them and took breathtaking photos….which he airdropped to us before we even left that beach. Patricia then took us to the National Park and we got to see a cave and crazy rocks and waves. Then, she took us to the distillery. She also provided some fresh baked banana bread, water, soda, rum punch and even let us use WiFi on the way back (on the way there she gave us SO much information about the island). She even dropped us off in town to shop and then told us how to get back to our ship. This was truly the perfect day, the perfect tour, and the perfect tour guide!read less

So much fun! Such a great excursion and would highly recommend it! The experience was totally as advertised…flamingos, snorkeling with the turtles and a beautiful beach to wind down the day. Patrick and Sexy Eddie were great tour guides and so knowledgeable about the history of Curaçao. Thank you!!!

Great experience Had a great time. Saw plenty of turtles in the shallow end as well but pictures are better the further out you go. Food and smoothies at the beach stop were good .not crowded at the beach. Not too long of a day and back early afternoon

Curacao dreams met us at the port- their instructions were very clear, but I was a little uncertain about where gate 2 was. However, port security was able to point me in the right direction and there was no issue. This may have been because there were 2 ships in port, but there seemed to be some confusion about the meeting time. I had a 9 am tour (along with several others), but someone came running up later saying they had a 10 am tour, and we all ended up on the same bus. So just a tip- pick the 9 am tour if you are given an option and if it works for you. We were a little delayed getting started, I think we still had some no shows, but it ended up not being an issue at all. And of course, we can't blame the company for no shows- just one of those things.
Our first stop was to see some flamingos. From what I understand, this is hit or miss, some days there are a lot, some days there are a few, and some days they're gone. This was a nice stop for just a few minutes and were able to take a few pictures
Our second stop was at the beach- it was really pretty. We only had just under an hour here, so it was a little rushed, especially if you want to swim but don't want to get back on the bus soaking wet. The beach we stopped at had a smoothie stand and a snack bar- but it was early, and we only had an hour, so I think everyone on our tour went straight to the beach. It really was a beautiful beach and great for swimming and picture taking.
The most important stop of the day was, of course, the turtles. I'd recommend water shoes- this beach was really rocky. This company has a rooftop area they use- backpacks and bags are perfectly safe there, and its a nice place to hang out a bit waiting for the big cruise ship tours to go on their way. Once we got in the water, Patrick was good about avoiding crowds. He told us we would swim away from the big groups which made it a lot easier not to get kicked in the face by other swimmers. He also had a GoPro, so it was nice to be able to look at the turtles without worrying about picture taking. We had plenty of time in the water with the turtles. We were not rushed at all, nor were we yelled at or whistled at to get out of the water. We were just allowed to make our way back to the rooftop when we were done.
On the way back, Patrick was able to transfer his pictures to all of us. If you have an iPhone, he just airdropped. If you had an Android and Whatsapp, he sent them that way, otherwise I think he just used facebook.
On the way back to the cruise port, we made a stop near the floating bridge, so anyone who wanted to shop a bit was able to end the tour there which made things convenient.
Really a great tour- highly recommended. Pictures included was a huge plus. After getting back on the cruise ship and looking at other people's turtle pictures, the ones from this tour are much better. They did have a cooler filled with drinks- I'd recommend bringing along a small snack if you need one.read less

Sea Turtle Swim and Island Tour Patrick and Eddie were wonderful!!! We had a magical experience swimming with the sea turtles (as expected) but also learned so much about the island’s history and saw more than was described. What a wonderful, SO worth it, adventure!!!

Turtles were super ! Patricia was great and the snorkeling with the Turtles was super. Be sure to bring your flippers and it is an easy snorkel. Patricia shared a lot about Curacao, She took us to the Blow hole which was very good, and we saw some Flamingo's .

Our hotel pick-up was on time and the bus had plenty of space for the tour group of 15 adults. On the drive west, Patrick gives an overview of the day and of the island, and then Eddie, a native of Curacao, takes over with a detailed history of the island. We enjoyed this, as it makes the 40-minute ride fly by.
The first stop was to see the Flamingos. It was brief, as there were not many close to the road, so don’t get your hopes up here. Still cool to see the groups in the distance and learn about their migration between the ABC islands.
The second stop was to Grote Knip, which they call the most beautiful beach on the island (it lived up). We were here for about an hour and left to our own devices. The beach is public/free, but there are some charges to be aware of. We opted to grab lounge chairs ($5 for a chair, $15 if you want an umbrella) and do some snorkeling. Given we paid for the chairs during our last five minutes on the beach, we could have used an extra 30 minutes at Grote Knip! Note that you need to pay to use the restroom (ugh) and they only accept guilders. Make use of the sea .
The final stop was the highlight – swimming with the sea turtles. Patrick and the team secured a private spot for their tours on the roof of the food hut, which was a very nice touch. We were able to safely leave our belongings upstairs when we snorkeled and then there was an area to change afterwards. Note that the stairs are very steep/ a bit jagged, so if you have mobility issues, this might be an issue. The tour covered the cost of using the restroom on this beach (because you have to pay here as well!). Patrick brought our group into the water, along with a bag of fish for the turtles, and immediately we were surrounded by 6 or more sea turtles. It was a really cool, unique experience and we were grateful for all of the photos Patrick airdropped us from the GoPro free of additional charge!
When booking, I suggest asking if there is a cruise docked that day and do your best to reschedule if there is (as Patrick suggested). It was pretty crowded when we were there, so I can’t imagine what it’s like when there are cruise tourists as well.
Overall, there was a perfect way to spend half a day in Curacao. We were picked up at 9:30 and got back to our hotel around 2:30pm – just the right amount of time.read less

They were both delightful. Patrick goes out of his way to make sure you have a wonderful turtle experience. The fact he takes complimentary GoPro photos of all his guests with the turtles and doesn’t charge extra says a lot about the way he runs his business. (Also he and his wife have 11 dogs, rescued from stays on the island- you know he has a kind heart too!) I’m a weak swimmer (rheumatoid arthritis) and my husband isn’t a swimmer at all. We’ve never snorkeled before. He provided all our snorkel gear and snorkel vests. He made sure all of us were included in the experience. We enjoyed our time spent with them during our short stop (earlier departure than planned) while in Curaçao on a cruise. They made sure we all got back to the ship with time to spare. Worth every penny and we 100% recommend this tour; you will NOT regret it at all. Don’t wait. Just book it NOW!read less

It was the highlight of my trip and the reason I would return to Curaçao for part 2! She was attentive, pleasant, funny, accommodating, engaging, and informative. She exposed us to the culture, history, and took us to the best restaurant I believe the island had to offer! The food was so good! Patricia provided exceptional service to our group and I cannot possibly thank her enough. Her generosity, professionalism, and humor made this tour PERFECT!
Thank you Patricia!

We visited several beautiful beaches and the turtle encounter was by far exceeded our expectations! About 5 or 6 sea turtles up close and swimming around us. It was amazing. Patrick fed the turtles to keep them around and took tons of photos and sent to us without any extra charge. They picked us up at the pier and returned us back with plenty of time to visit the shops in the town. We’ve traveled the Caribbean numerous times and took other turtle encounters but never as good as this. Plus we only had 15 in our group which made it more personal. He even made sure we had water and soda for our comfort. I highly recommend this excursion! You will not regret it. This is a wonderful excursion that won’t break the bank with what this company offers. I can’t wait to visit Curacao again. Thank you Patrick and Eddy for the memories!!read less
