How incredibly lucky we were to experience the first day of the Arribada! So many turtles were nesting this night on the beach and coming in to shore every few minutes. We got to be with our turtle from the time she started digging her nest, layed her eggs, covered them, and made her way back to the ocean. It was incredible to witness such an important part of the life cycle of turtles. We also saw baby sea turtles hatching and making their way to the ocean. ❤️💕 Our guide Luis was so knowledgeable, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. My family will remember this experience forever.

The tour was very good and we were lucky enough to see 4 turtles. Three nested and of those three we were able to watch the entire process of building nest, dropping eggs and return to ocean of 1 thanks to the guide.

Sadly we didn’t see any turtles - but our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the beautiful night for a walk on the beach.

Peter, thank you for your review. :) Turtles are out of our control, so things like this can happen... but we're happy to know you had a good time on tour. Pura vida!

Incredible seeing these giants come ashore to lay their eggs. We learned so much about their life and nesting habits.
