We took the sea turtle/cave tour. Bob was our tour guide. He was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable of the island. Very calming voices where you actually enjoy listening to everything he said. Tour bus was on time with ample time at each stop. Seeing the flamingos was the highlight of the tour cave was cool too. Affordable and gets to out of the resort to see the island. Bob and pitro were great!!!

We had a wonderful beach hopping today with Irie Tours. The driver Bob was great and our guide Lady ( this was her actual name but spelled different)was Dushi( great ) she gave us alot of info about Curacoa. Loved the open Air bus and the beautiful beaches Cas Abao beach and Kenapa the snorkeling and swimming with sea turtles were great, and we also saw flamingos and stopped at a National park and saw gianormous waves crashing on side of the rocks. It was my husband's birthday today so a fantastic way to spend it Thank you Lady and Bob 👍🏖😊🌞🌟

Did the half day snorkel tour. We had a great time. Boat was a double decker and was packed with people with just enough seating for everyone to squish together on benches. First stop was the sunken tug boat. Second stop had to be changed due to buoy availability so we ended up at a stop to swim but not snorkel due to near zero visibility. Food was bbq meats, salads, garlic bread and was excellent compared to what we have seen on other tours and there was plenty of it. Improvements - a little bit more music, and no stopping at sandals resort to pick up 2 people who were not at the dock. Crew member had to go find them keeping everyone on boat waiting. We had own transportation but parking area fills up fast. Would recommend Irie tours.

My son and I had an amazing half-day snorkel and barbecue with Irie Tours. Huge thanks to Rachel, Sylvan, Tim, Esther, and Kalani — the team made sure everything was fun and safe. Captain Esther was fantastic, funny, and prioritized safety. Kalani crushed it on the grill. In between, we were offer yummy fruits. Rachel, Sylvan, and Tim watched over everyone in the water. Rachel even helped me with my mask, and Sylvan took great underwater photos and videos of us with our camera. Would absolutely book again! *Tips:* Free parking is across the main street. Note: fins aren’t included with snorkel gear, so bring your own if you want them. 10 out of 10!

Did a sunset sail as well as the turtle and cave tour. All staff was amazing but a woman named Lady, was the best. She gave us more history than I could’ve ever asked for. She explained the culture, who the people are of Curaçao and most importantly, how to pronounce it! I would highly recommend the turtle tour. They will provide lunch at a cliff side restaurant and the food is amazing and you can watch people jumping from the cliffs! I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our Saturday than with Lady and her bus! She reminded me of the book called “The Energy Bus” and a lady named Joy!
