    Absolutely sensational turtle experience

    Thomas_C, Sep 2026
    Highly recommended and very personalised tour away from crowds. Charlotte was absolutely lovely and super accommodating!!! So close up with the turtles. Really loved it! 5 stars all the way! She is a fabulous person and a great guide.

    Great one on one time...

    Great one on one time with your guide to ensure an intimate experience with the turtles and great pics

    Dont book through third party websites

    I recommend booking direct with the operators. Booked through viator and the times offered were not correct due to this being dependent on the tides. Now trying to contact someone for a refund.
