Irie Tours - West Beach Hopping Tour

[stefmo]

Has someone done the Loko Bus West Beach Hopping Tour
with Irie Tours ?

It's a 6 hour West Island tour instead of the 3 hour East Tour.

On the west tour you go to Cas Abou Beach, Santa Cruz Beach,
Playa Forti (cliff jumping), Knip Beach.
$69 drinks and lunch included.

Hi there! We will be in Curacao in April, and we are in port from 8am to 9pm, so we were considering this tour as well. I requested the tour info from Irie, and here is what I got back last week:

How many of you want to join us? We can do the Beach Hopping tour to the West side of the Island with a minimum of 6 people. This tour is $65 per person and includes Beer, Soft drinks, water, the entrance fee at the beaches and the entrance fee at Boka Tabla, which is a park with 7 caves.
If you don’t have 6 people, you can do the East Side Tour. I will give you a short tour description…
First we drive over the Juliana Bridge, where you will have a great view of Willemstad. Then we pass through the old Jewish neighborhood, you will see all the old Jewish Mansions that are being restored. We also visit the Curacao Liquor distillery, here you can see how the ‘Blue Curacao’ is made and taste the different flavors. After the distillery we go to the Spanish water area, which is a beautiful residential area in the Spanish Water Bay. The last stop will be at the Curacao Sea Aquarium Beach, we stay here for 1 hour.

This tour is $20 per person and includes unlimited beer, soft drinks and bottled water during the tour AND the entrance fee to the beach.

Since we don't have 6 people in our group and the Roll Call is pretty much dead for our sailing (it's a Colon sailing), I guess we will be taking the East Side tour. I hope you have better luck

They don't actually make the Curacao liquer there, you can see a short film and sample the flavors and buy it there.

I am also interested in the west side tour. Any reviews ?

I also would like to know more about the West Side Irie Tour and the lunch at the Dokterstuin Plantation house. I do not eat deep fried or heavily spiced foods and what to know if the restaurant will work for me. I emailed Irie Tours late last week but haven't received a reply yet.
