We completed the tour today (3/29/2023). We were exceptionally happy with this tour and would strongly recommend this tour provider. We would use her again.
Laika, our contact and our tour guide, provided excellent communication. We were guests from a cruise ship. Because of technical issues, our arrival date changed to one day later, shortly after I paid. I was able to contact Laika via the TripAdvisor message system and she was able to change the date and time for our tour quickly. The fact I could communicate with her easily put me at considerable ease.
On our arrival today, she was waiting for my family and me with a sign at the Willemstad cruise port, right on time. We were collected with a small group (eight in total) into an air conditioned van.
We were first driven to a scenic overlook with views of the cruise port, and given an opportunity to take pictures. Next was the Curaçao sign, with ample time for photos. Next was the liqueur distillery with a brief tour. The highlight was the Hato caves. As I’m the description, tickets were covered with the price of the tour. We drove past the flamingo preserve with the caveat that they were not always visible. Today, they were easily visible.
Throughout the tour, Laika was enthusiastic and provided much knowledge about her home island. She is a proud Curaçaoan and it showed. She speaks four languages and used perfect English and Spanish (several on this tour were Spanish-speakers). She even helped my mother-in-law, and at least other persons, who had difficulty walking during parts of the tour.
This was a imply one of the best tour experiences I’ve had. I strongly recommend supporting this small business.
