Turtles , turtles, turtles 🐢 - Turtles need protection. Very few survive to maturity. We can protect them better. I enjoyed Patricio’s talk about turtles. The process is very safe for the turtles and the guides were very skilled and careful. I highly recommend this activity. It felt like we did something good in this crazy world. I know those turtles have a better chance with Carisuva helping them.

Learn about and release turtles, warning some may get eaten by seagulls. - They picked us up from our resort and took us out to the ranch just before sunset. We learned alot from Patricio. We took a bit of a hike in the sand to get down to the incubation center. Then we were each given a baby turtle in a bowl that we got to release and watch them make their way down to the surf. The surf would wash them back up and sometimes turn them on their backs and the turtles would struggle to get themselves righted, then another wave would pick them up and turn them over and carry them out to sea. Unfortunately there were seagulls in the air above us and they managed to scoop up 3 of them for dinner. It was a disturbing scene for some in our group. It was the natural world happening before our very eyes.

Amazing turtle release event - We had an amazing experience at the turtle release. We got about an hour of info from a marine biologist and learned about different turtles and their nesting habits. Then we released the baby turtles in a safe and nature-focused way (no touching the turtles, we don’t want what they have and vice versa). Would highly recommend!

Sunset on the beach with baby sea turtles - The experience was great! It was very informative and reasonably priced. It was awesome to watch the babies waddle to the ocean to begin their new life. Perfect scenery with the setting sun!

Magical Experience - The actual turtle releasing was great. However, logistics were less so. I would recommend the experience because the marine biologist clearly cares deeply for the turtles. He gave a talk about lifecycle, types of turtles, etc…then we went to the ocean and released at sunset, it was magical. I ended up hiring a car to take us to the experience because I was just given the address of the place when I asked which hotel pick up was closest to me. Then when the buses arrived I spoke to the leaders and they had no idea who I was. It felt disorganized.
