About this activity
From July until October, we find this spectacle down the beach in the evening where big females come to lay their eggs inside the special nests all made by themselves.
This beauty is protected by the government with massive support of the locals who engages the conservancy project every year.
Nowadays, there are many associations and ONGs with international support who help the conservancy and protection program.
There are a limit of tours and people per night per beach to not disturb the turtle processes, (each operator has a limit number of guests per visit).
Immerse yourself in this adventure and get an experience that will last a lifetime.
During our tour you’ll experience the turtle:
- preparing very accurately the nest,
- laying very carefully the eggs
- covering the eggs thoroughly with sand
- returning to the sea very quietly
Enjoy our Turtle expeditions led by trained staff who love these amazing, endangered creatures.
