Customer Review – Tyler and Lindsey

The short and sweet of this review, is that this guidebook was fantastic and we followed it to a tee! We actually printed a hard copy version of it so we could bring it along with us wherever we went, which was very useful. We would get to a location, grab the guidebook, and scout out the area before ever getting into the water.

All in all, your Curacao Snorkeling Guide is a must have for anyone interested in snorkeling Curacao. It was such a great help in all the planning we did. In planning future snorkeling trips, we will be 100% sure to see if you offer a guidebook for the location! This guidebook made my first snorkeling experience one I will never forget, and we both are so thankful to have found it!

Customer Review – John

My wife and I snorkel, which is why I bought your guide. We actually live in New Jersey, but visit Curacao every year.

I’m a TripAdvisor “Destination Expert” for Curacao, so I’m sure I’ll be asked about your guide. I think you did a wonderful job with it, and there should certainly be a market, because very little else is available.

Customer Review – Stephen

You guys did a great job in writing this snorkeling guide. It is very informative and it will help us to have a much better snorkeling experience on Curacao.  Keep up the good work. We will definitely purchase your other guides when the time comes. Thanks again.

If there are specific fish or corals you want to see we share what we we have seen at every location. For example, if you want to see Spotted Drums, we share where you are highly likely to spot them.

Customer Review – Elsa

We spent two weeks snorkeling Curacao before Galen and Nicole’s guide was published, and could only find limited information on snorkeling during our planning and visit. We selected Westpunt as our base… The guide is correct, the beaches in the area were spectacular and often astonishingly empty.

But reading the guide, it is doubly-obvious that we need to return and snorkel in the many enticing, but more southerly areas described.

To anyone contemplating a visit to lovely Curacao, my recommendation is to take the guide’s brief recommendations on practical details for a stay on the island seriously.

Freedom to Be Your Own Guide – Save Money on Boat Tours

The vast majority of the best snorkeling spots on Curacao are accessible from shore. That means you don’t have to go on crowded boat tours on their schedule, to spots you can’t control, no matter the weather. Your snorkeling will be better and you will save money in the process. Where it makes sense, like out to Klein Curacao, we do suggest some boat tours.

I wanted to write and thank you for your recommendations about snorkeling there, as well as the wonderful Curacao snorkeling guide…

We were able to find several snorkeling spots because of the directions that you provided in the snorkeling guide – otherwise we may not have been able to find them!!
