So cute and for a great cause! - Learn all about sea turtles from the friendly and knowledgeable guides. Then launch your own little baby turtle into the sea! We also saw an alligator along the way but we're completely safe with our guide.

Eduardo the Great Turtle Guide - Releasing the turtles was thrilling but Eduardo’s personality, intelligence and explanations were even better. Participants should wear tennis shoes. Ubers are easily available.

Unforgettable experience - It is amazing! Best sunset of my life. They explain the camp and purpose. They showed us the protected nests, we learned about the turtles and the incredible work volunteers and biologists do at this conservation camp. On the walk towards the nests we got to see crocodiles too! Heart warming and just precious experience for the whole family.

We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time with the sea turtle release. Our guide Eduardo was very knowledgeable and friendly, and this experience was both informative and interactive as we got to learn about sea turtles and eventually release the babies into the water, which was so fun! We highly recommend this and appreciate the mission of using this little experience to help further turtle conservation. We came during the down period in late August so while it was very hot and humid, we were lucky that there weren’t many mosquitoes.
