We had an amazing weekend camping with Irie tours at klein Curaçao. You leave Saturday morning around 8am and you will be back Sunday 3pm. As far as I could find, Irie is the only provider of such a trip.
The journey in the catamaran, drinks (open bar) and food is included (breakfast, lunch, dinner, breakfast). There was not enough wind to sail unfortunately but the trip on the boat was amazing.
The straf was friendly and super easygoing. They made us feel welcome and didn’t make a problem of anything. Always a smile!! Off course we were also lucky to share the boat only with around 15 people only (because of covid). Other guests were mainly locals and Dutch people who live there (they all have a discount). But still it was worth all $125 pp for the trip (touristprice).
We had to arrange our tent and air bed/ hammock. The breakfast was very minimalistic and the granola bars were done before we could grab one. However, the staff was friendly enough to give us loads of watermelon instead.
A bit more variation in music would have been nice, but we were super happy to hear our song request when we approached curacao (when there was WiFi again).
All in all I would recommend Irie for the campingtrip to Klein curacao. Bring some own drinks for the evening (bar closes 8pm) and some snacks and enjoy the stars!

We picked this bus up outside the cruise terminal in willemstad curacao. The weather was dreadful, one of those odd torrential downpours that lasted longer than usual. The fus had no windows nor did it have an exit cover in the roof at the rear. We all ended up drenched but had a great time. We visited the curacao factory and tasted a few of their liquers. Sylvian then took us to a view point where we could see all around the area.
We finished up at mambo beach where entrance was covered in the fee. Sunbeds there were extra about 3$US, and the cocktails were between 8 and 10 $ US. There you had an option of staying 1,2 or 3 hours. You were then picked up and taken back to the pickup point adjacent to the ship. Great day out.

We booked two trips through Irie Tours-the sunset sail and the adventure tour featuring turtle snorkeling, playa porto Marie, and the Hato Caves.
The sunset sail should have come with a warning that it would not be for those who get seasick. Beyond that, it was a really nice way to sail around the island and see a beautiful sunset.
The adventure tour we had, led by our great tour guide Miguel, was a lot of fun, and was a particularly good deal cost-wise. There were a lot of people (outside of the tour) swimming around the turtles, which made it more difficult to enjoy. The cave was a really nice part of the tour and gave a nice natural history of the island. Overall, the tour itself was a good way to see the island if you are doing a more all-inclusive type stay.

I booked the Sunset tour with Irie Tours In January 2023. The booking process was fast and simple, I actually booked the night before online since there were still a few spots available. They also have an office located across from the Renaissance Hotel. We chose to have the Irie bus pick us up for an additional 10$ each to enjoy the experience. We were actually upstairs in our room at the Renaissance hotel when the front desk called because the driver was waiting for us. It was great that they did not just leave us behind. The driver was so nice and funny, I can’t say enough about him. We passed by about 4 other hotels for the other guests of the cruise, the ride was easy and not to long. Everything was explained step by step from how to check in, obtain your boarding and pass and how to proceed after the cruise. Check in was fast and easy especially if you completed online release forms ahead of time. We boarded the boat on time and we were debriefed on everything that we needed to know by Orson. He was great, very personable and funny. The Captain steered the boast just right even over some tough waters at times. We were served a mix of drink including rum, vodka, and blu curaçao and of course soft drinks, juice and water. They also served some food bites including cheese pockets, meatball, and chicken sate which was all included in the cover price. The Views were amazing and made for some great photos. The amount of time out on the water I thought was perfect. The ride back to the hotel was fast and easy. Overall I would recommend the Sunset cruise with Irie tours.

If you are not on Cool Runnings Jonalisa with Captain Ramon and his crew you are definitely missing out. We have been on several catamaran snorkeling trips and this was by far the absolute best possible experience. All made possible by Captain Ramon and his crew. Very accommodating. Serving incredible food and drinks 🍹. Safety being of utmost importance. When they say if you are struggling in the water and need our help they will jump in to help you, they really mean it. My husband got cramps in both legs just shortly after getting in the water off the boat. At this point he began to panic. I got to him first, getting behind him and cross arming his chest. Others in the water tried to help as well(forever grateful) Captain Ramon and his first mate immediately jumped into action and were quickly off the boat and to us in a matter of seconds, when seconds truly count. The other crew followed closely behind with the dingy. Getting my husband safely to shore. We could never be grateful enough.
After it was all said and done we still had an amazing day! I have amazing pictures to prove it!!
This Captain and his crew are nothing short of amazing! If you are not going out with him and his crew you are definitely missing out!
P.S. We got to see Pilot Whales and I did get to swim with a turtle but I didn’t get pix😢

Fantastic tour with Lisa as our driver. She was very interesting and a great driver. The group was very lively and she handled them like a real pro. I can't fault her for a second. The tour itself was very interesting.
My only comment would be that I think the driver should be provided with a hands free microphone. She was trying to drive a large bus with one hand while holding a microphone in the other.

I was on a Sandals vacation over Christmas. My husband scuba dives and I like to see the island, it's people, it's critters and what makes it special.
Bob having lived in Curacao during his lifetime brought the history alive for us. He even pointed out schools he went to, churches, buildings that local artist's paint stunning murals on, and beautiful homes downtown that Unesco will restore some day. His pride in his beautiful island was apparent. This was not an easy island to inhabit all those years ago being made of limestone and salt. But the history is fascinating and the will these folks had to make Curacao what it is today!
The best part for me was the beach! I've been to many of the islands. The beaches in Curacao are gorgeous!! Just the kind you would "dream" of! A delicious lunch was included at the restaurant on the beach! We also visited the shops in Williamsted and saw the pink flamings in the Salt lakes. Those a a few highlights! Take the tour and make sure you go with Bob!!! He knows the details!

Bob did an amazing job teaching us the history and culture of the island. He was very fluid and explained the ins and outs throughout the duration of the beach hopping tour. Allowing us to fully indulge and take in the places he took us to.

Hi, we'll be arriving at 9:00 a.m. at the Cruise port on March 18, 2020. We are interested in the West End beach tour. Will we be able to make the tour since the cruise doesn't dock until 9:00?

Is this booked through the cruise line or did you book it independently? If you booked it through the cruise line then others from your ship will be in the same position you are and I feel confident you will make the excursion. However, if you booked it independently the I strongly suggest you contact the company booked this with for the best answer. Remember from the time you arrive to the time you exit the ship will take some time as well.

All West Beach Hopping Tour looks amazing. Cruise ship MSC Meraviglia does not arrive until 1:00 on Nov 5, 2019. Any chance to do a later tour for 3 , possibly 4 of us. ? Say 2:00 to ?? We could eliminate stops except for the turles. Please advise.

Hi Idnasflorida,
Thank you for your interest in Irie Tours!
Unfortunately we do not run this tour in the afternoon. what I can do for you is give you a email address of a lovely taxi driver. She will be able to either do a small tour with you or she can bring you to any beach of choice. Her name is Laicka and her email address is Curroyalty@gmail
I hope you have an amazing day in Curacao.
Kind regards,

I am trying to decide between the less expensive East Side Tour or the one you did. One of the reasons I like the one you did is the caves. Did you or anyone in your group go in the caves? If so, was it worth it? Thanks!

The tour we did was the tour/bar hop. Due to issues on our end it was primarily eating on Mambo Beach, hit 2 bars, receive a green rum shot and back to the ship.
Love your review of IRIE tours is there a toll free phone number for them?

It was in February when we went. We did the Beach tour with a visit to the Çuracao Distillery and it was about $25 per person. Kids and adult beverages were provided. Had a blast. Fun and informative tour. Doing it again on our next tour. Soon I hope.

We are booked on the All West Beach Hopping Tour. I've tried to look at some photos from reviews, but I can't tell which beach is which. I know it's a beach tour, but are some of the stops more for the views, not the water? I am trying to determine if beach attire is appropriate or if we should take sneakers with us for some of the stops.

I just wore a swim suit with a sun dress over it and water sandals. We had our own snorkeling gear and went snorkeling at all the beach stops. Shete Boka NP was beautiful and my water sandals (TEVAS) were great for climbing the rocks. I would say one thing that you don't want to forget is 50SPF sunscreen and a wide brim hat! I live in FL and reapplied sunscreen after every swim and it still got me...
