Summary:
They were about ten minutes late picking us up. However. The guide and driver were excellent. The guide (simply cannot remember her name) was excellent.
She spoke many languages and was funny and interesting and talked the entire time and answered questions.
While we did not see turtles (no guarantee) we saw flamingos. We saw a lot of beautiful fish in two great snorkeling places. Easy access and eat swimming.
They had water in the bus. The restaurant at the second beach was excellent and not expensive.
This is a highly recommended tour by me. It was wonderful.

Besides doing the tour we got a history lesson of the beautiful island which was very interesting and we got to see so many beautiful sites of curaçao 🇨🇼.

Snorkeling with the turtles well it was just one and it was still an amazing experience then off to Porto Mari beach for more snorkeling in the most beautiful water and we even got to see one of the famous pigs chilling in the shade. Then we were off and got to see some beautiful flamingos. So overall a 10+ experience.
