This was such a special experience and there are so few unique experiences to be had in travelling these days. Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable and we felt we were helping, in a small way, to help the turtles to survive and hopefully thrive.

We had a nice time and our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful as we made our way to the beach. The percentage of little turtles that make it is a bit of a bummer, so just be prepared for that.

The turtle release itself was lovely and the driver did speak English, but the overall experience was mixed. Our pickup was supposed to be at 4:00 pm and the driver didn’t arrive until 5:30 pm. He also pushed the bioluminescent tour as if it were mandatory and an extra cost we had to accept, which we didn’t like. After we declined, his attitude changed, making the ride back to our hotel feel uncomfortable and a bit unsafe.

Hola la hora de salida cambio y se le aviso con anticipación ya que el campamento decidió la hora nosotros nos apegamos a las normas del campamento y el guía sólo les ofreció la experiencia de la bioluminiscencia nuca obligó les platico sobre la experiencia y no se por qué dicen que les dio miedo el regreso, si fue normal, la experiencia fue buena todo fue bien
Y solo se les platico sobre otra actividad si querrían hacerla con un descuento
Pero ante todo pidió una disculpa
Si sintieron miedo del regreso
Mil disculpas por los inconvenientes que les causó nuestro guía

Good information regarding sea turtles. Fun to see the babies head to the ocean. If you don’t speak Spanish you need to make sure you have an English speaking guide.

The driver was very friendly and was on time. I was the only one who spoke English so he engaged in conversation with me. He even offered to take photos of me while releasing the baby turtle as I was alone! He gave our group a small talk on the turtle camp when we arrived too. High recommend booking with them, they also offer a more affordable price compared to others!

A really nice experience watching the baby turtles and accompanying them into life.
Alison, the biologist has explained a lot and you can tell her love for the turtles:)
