During this unforgettable experience, you'll have the chance to observe the nesting process of loggerhead turtles within the Northern Nature Park, a protected area in the island. This park is one of the most important conservation zones in Cape Verde, playing a vital role in the preservation of marine biodiversity.

Guided by trained local experts, you’ll witness these majestic creatures as they come ashore at night to lay their eggs — a rare and emotional encounter that reveals the incredible journey of sea turtles. The activity is carried out with total respect for nature, following strict guidelines to ensure the animals are not disturbed.

Being in the heart of a natural park adds even more value to this experience, allowing you not only to admire the turtles, but also to learn about the fragile ecosystem they depend on. This is a unique opportunity to connect with the wild side of Boa Vista, while contributing to awareness and protection of one of the ocean’s most iconic species.
