Tugboat and Reef Snorkel Tour in Curacao
Tugboat and Reef Snorkel Tour in Curacao
We arrived vis cruise ship and had a limited time on the island. We were looking for a shore excursion that could help us make the most of the time we had in Curacao. Our biggest concern was pick up and drop off. We are avid snorkelers and had previously done a different snorkeling tour in the Tugboat area and did not have a pleasant taxi experience. They sent an email with very easy directions for where to meet at the Megapier cruise port. Within minutes of stepping off the cruise ship we met up with our tour guide Long and were on our way. It ended up with just my friend and I on our own "personal" tour. Long took us to several of the best snorkeling sites in Curacao. He made sure at each location that we had enough time to see everything that we wanted too before heading to the next location. He even took us to additional site seeing locations that were not on our scheduled tour before taking us back to the Megapier drop off. We look forward to going again and trying out their Wonderful World of Water tour. Thanks for a great experience!

Overview

Experience the best of Curacao’s coast on a 4-hour tugboat, reef and history tour, and slip into the water at two of the island’s snorkeling sites. See schools of bright reef fish drift through a sunken tugboat that’s grown-over with coral formations, Christmas tree worms and seagrass, and watch for the moray eels and sea turtles that thrive on the island’s sheltered coast. Visit a second snorkeling site to swim above another thriving reef, then explore a centuries-old fort built to protect the coast from pirate raids.
  • 4-hour snorkeling tour including visit to historic fort in Curacao
  • Snorkel at another excellent spot teeming with coral and brightly colored fish
  • Stop by blufftop Fort Beekenburg and admire great views
  • A snack, drinks, snorkeling gear and round-trip transport from most Curacao hotels included

Fantastic!

Small group size gave us the feel of a private tour and Bernice our guide was a pure pleasure! Her fun facts about the island and her humor made the drive so much fun. While the sunken tugboat was nice the first stop was simply an amazing hidden treasure. We could have stayed for hours more! Recommend this tour 100%!

I had a great time. Even though I was the only person booked Curacao Actief didn't cancel. My guide was Serlon and he was excellent. Helpful and knowledgeable. The snorkeling was a lot fun and the island tour was very interesting. my second time with Curacao Actief - both times were excellent (first time was with Bernice). I highly recommend this tour and Curacao Actief - great customer service and great people working for them.

We had a wonderful time snorkeling with Bernice. We were the only two snorkelers on this tour, which made things extra special. She picked us up at our rental place, and took us to two nice snorkeling spots. Tugboat was pretty awesome. AShe also took us by car to several sightseeing spots. She was very funny, informative, and knowledgeable about her island, its history, and marine life, We enjoyed her company (pun intended) very much.

Wonderful and personable guide Howard took us on a trip not to be forgotten. Two separate snorkelling locations: both areas filled with fish plenty to see. We even stopped at Fort Beekenburg for a tour before heading back to our resort. Howard had all the time in the world for us and made it a most fun filled day. Highly recommended

We had the privilege of having Bernice as our tour guide, she was EXCELLENT!! Bernice picked us up at the cruise port and started right in with the history and culture of Curacao and a city tour. We went to two locations to snorkel, the first location was a local's beach where we snorkeled near the rocks, saw all kinds of beautiful fish and we were in very calm waters. The second location was the Tugboat location, again Bernice was very attentive to the four of us. It is a MUST DO if you ever have the opportunity to go to Curacao make sure you ask for Bernice she is wonderful. P.S. bring water shoes, the best spots to snorkel are at the rocky beaches.
