7-Hour Turtle Outback and Snorkel Safari in Willemstad
We're sorry. This tour is no longer available.
Overview
Curacao's people, nature, history and land has been formed by water, both by the sea and the availability of sweet water. The crystal blue sea of Curacao is not only home to colorful fish and wonderful coral formations, but on the North side of Curacao the wind forces the sea on the land with great force and by doing so it creates some spectacular water shows from natural blowholes and fountains.
Inclusions
- All Fees and Taxes
- Bottled water - Water & Lemonade
- Pick up
- Entry/Admission - Shete Boka National Park
What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Shete Boka National Park, Boka Tabla, Willemstad Curacao
We will then take you to several isolated bays where big breakers crash into the coral cliffs creating natural blowholes where the sea water and foam are sprayed through a chute into the air displaying colorful fountains and rainbows. If the waves are strong enough you can stand close and let the water sprinkles refresh you. Also exotic birds like herons, frigate birds and caracaras can be spotted here.
Boka Tabla: We will enjoy lunch and visit the Shete Boka National Park with its rugged and rocky formations where, if the sea allows us, we will visit Boka Tabla. This is where the sea and wind have worked together to create a cave in which the waves come crushing in, often giving a splendid show but sometimes flooding the cave completely;
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Playa Piskado/Playa Grandi, Sabana Westpunt Curacao
After Shete Boka National Park we will leave the North-West coast and cross over to the South-West coast of Curacao where you will notice how the scenery changes completely from a dry arid climate to a green hilly coast where you will find nearly all of Curacao's natural white beaches with their turquoise blue waters or as locally called playas.
Snorkeling with turtles: At one of these playas we will go snorkeling, allowing you to discover and enjoy the underwater world of Curacao. At Playa Piskado you can swim alongside turtles.
Duration: 2 hours

Swimming with turtles was fun. The food stop was very yummy. Ariel was a great tour guide. Caves visited were not the Hato Caves.

We had fun but felt misled. Our intimate small tour was with 20 total people whereas others from our hotel had 6-8. The guides were great-Ariel and Smiley and they did their best to make sure everyone understood and had fun. It’s just hard to do with such a big group. With the choppy water we missed out on the blowholes but did see the sea turtles. It was enjoyable but not what we had thought when booking.DianaMagicMoose

This excursion was the best I have ever taken. Our driver, Aerial, and side kick Smiley made this trip! They were personable, funny, helpful beyond normal and very knowledgeable. I stumbled once and from that point on Smiley was by my side at every turn. At one of our stops there was an area not scheduled on the tour so I asked if we might be able to see it. Aerial said he would make it happen and he did! The off road drive was very bumpy, my 18 year old granddaughter absolutely loved it. The route that we were on was deserted. Very few other tourists to contend with. We snorkeled with the sea turtles and had a very nice lunch atop a cliff overlooking the beautiful water where people jumping off he cliff. Then we took a quick stop to snorkel on a beach inhabited with pigs. I didn't believe it when I read about it but it's true. The pigs come lay in the surf. I am partial to pigs...I would book this tour again if ever in this port again.Travelingwallie

Overall I enjoyed this experience and found the tour guide fun and engaging. Swimming with the turtles was such a fun experience. They were just right near the beach and it was amazing. There was also so really bright and colorful fish nearby. I wasn't expecting to see flamingos, which was a bonus for me as another tour I was supposed to be on canceled and I didn't think I would get the opportunity to see these interesting creatures. Our guide had a good sense of both humor and knowledge. I was amazed with his driving skills of that huge truck through the 'outback.' I give him huge credit for driving that road. I guess I didn't realize how 'off road' we would be. It was quite the long bumpy ride, so expect that. It was a very unique experience for sure! My only 'complaint' was that I wasn't a huge fan of the restaurant we stopped at for lunch. I thought there prices were a bit steep and there was not a good vegetarian option. I did however find it enjoyable to watch people jump off the cliff. I could have swam with the turtles all day, that was definitely the highlight.
