It went well. - It went well. The guide was friendly and punctual. The observation of turtles is a unique activity and we were able to see the turtle decouple and then move away to the sea.

Truly Magical - We went on Turtle Experience, Nani picked us up from our hotel, small group of 10 & drove us to the beach, we had a 10 min lesson all about the turtles then he got a call to say we had struck gold!. We got to her as she was laying her final half of eggs, we watched her cover them, make a fake nest & return back to the sea!, we also saw the work the conservationists do, not just with the turtles, but the security & patrols too, it was amazing, they are truly dedicated. On the way back to the hotel Mom & I were chatting to Nani, you can tell he absolutely lives & breathes the turtles.

Really good evening respecting the turtle. - Enjoyable and informative evening. The turtle was protected by only allowing red lights, small numbers at a time to view and only viewing from the back.

Excellent experience, our... - Excellent experience, our guide was very informative. We saw 3 turtles laying their eggs, which was great as it is early in the season. The walking distance isn’t too far but it does depend where the turtles have been spotted. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable experience well led by the guide. Quite a difficult adventure to live again - I highly value this experience of watching the sea turtle lay eggs. It is something that must be observed with great respect and great curiosity

Long wait but nice experience - We had to wait 1 hour EN the beach with mosquitoes keeping us company, but in the end we saw a turtle spawn and it was a unique experience, if you like animals highly recommended

Captivating experience - Interesting experience but which would have merited a more comfortable wait: 2h standing without saying anything to wait for the green light "the turtle lays". Why don't we have a big tarpaulin so we can sit down? Moreover, being mixed with other groups on the same stretch of beach has somewhat limited the impression of "alone on the beach"

Disappointing - The experience itself was nice, but we were very disappointed by the attitude of the guide. From the outset, he was not kind and unpleasant. Do with another company
