Overview

It is an incredible opportunity to witness this miraculous natural process. During the night, turtles come to the beach and lay eggs. To protect these eggs, a qualified team takes them and places them in a turtle sanctuary to protect them from predators. After a briefing you will be given a freshly hatched baby turtle that you will release on the beach. Cheer them all on as they run to sea! As this is based on hatchlings, the location of the tour may change on the day.

It’s out of the way and a bit of a drive, but worth it in every way. Is private so you don’t have to deal with others and the owner gives you his full attention. The kids loved it!!

Educational and heart warming

Published on Nov, 2024

Enjoyed the educational talk about the various breeds of turtles and, unfortunately, the risks that they have today which are mostly man made. It was heartwarming to release some onto the beach and watch them make their way into the ocean, knowing only a small few will reach adulthood. The sanctuary rely on your donations to continue their good work in trying to preserve the turtles.

Amazing experience

Published on Nov, 2024

What an amazing experience. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the Sanctuary. The whole experience was amazing. We were so lucky to be the only 2 people there so released turtles and learnt alot too. They do amazing work which relies on volunteers. Such a worthy cause.

Wonderful Turtle Release

Published on Nov, 2024

Very educational and Emotional to know these wonderful creatures will probably be extinct within the next 50 yrs or so, despite the efforts of organizations like this. Glad to be able to be part of the efforts to save them.

Baby turtles and great guides, unforgettable!

Published on Aug, 2024

This was such an amazing trip, Ulysses and Uber were incredibly friendly and super knowledgeable of the area. Once we got to the turtle beach we took a 4 wheeler to the turtles, got an amazing presentation on the different turtles and frequencies of their visit to the beach. Afterwords my wife and I got to see and release about a hundred turtles to the water. They were so eager to find the waters edge, absolutely amazing!!! On the way back Ulysses took us to an amazing taco stand where we tried Goat Tacos. Absolutely delicious. Thank you guys for the once in a lifetime excursion, we’ll never forget it.
