During this tour, you will observe one of the most beautiful things. Experience one of Costa Rica's most remarkable natural events on a guided sea turtle tour near Sámara and Carrillo. Join our knowledgeable local guide as we visit a protected nesting beach to see sea turtles in their natural habitat. Depending on the season and natural conditions, you may witness turtles arriving from the ocean, nesting, laying eggs, or even baby turtles making their way to the sea. Along the way, learn about sea turtles, their life cycle, nesting behavior, conservation, and the importance of protecting their habitat. Wildlife is unpredictable, and every night is different. As this is a completely natural experience, turtle sightings, nesting, hatching, or specific species cannot be guaranteed — and that's part of what makes every encounter so special. Our guides provide instructions for responsible observation, helping minimize disturbance during this sensitive natural process.
