An experience you will remember fondly! - This was a beautiful and rewarding experience! Mariana met my sister and I at our hotel lobby. She informed us that we would be the only ones on this trip, and that she would take us to Playa Icacos (about an hour drive) where the beach is deserted and calm. On the way there, Mariana spoke about the towns we were driving through and about her life here. She was informative, engaging and entertaining. When we got to Petatlán, we followed Baltazar and Freddie to their “Campamento Tortuguero”. The way to the beach is absolutely beautiful; dirt roads surrounded by lush trees and beautiful palm trees. When we arrived at Icacos, we were the only people there!!! Baltazar sat us down, gave us information about the turtles they protect and about their foundation. He explained what we would be doing and made sure we didn’t have any questions. We proceeded to transfer the turtles into baskets. Since it was just the two of us, my sister and I each transferred around 25 to 30 baby turtles into baskets. Then we walked over to the shore and released them. We stayed at the shore watching each of them scurrying towards the water. It was so rewarding to realize that we helped all those turtles get their opportunity to survive. We took some pictures and recorded their journey. We left the area around 6:20 pm. After dropping off Freddie, we proceeded back into the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area. We had a great chat with Mariana on the way back. She also offered us drinks on the way there and on the way back. She was always attentive, friendly and helpful. I will always remember this day fondly. I hope you also give yourself the chance to experience this! When we come back, we would love to find Mariana and do this again! Thank you Mariana!!!!

A spectacular way to connect with nature. Well worth the time. - From start to finish this tour was a lot of fun and informative. The guide was very well spoken in English so there was no communication breakdowns. Both her and the driver were excellent and very professional but yet very personable. We found the company to be very professional and enjoyable. The tour to release the turtles was excellent. Just. Be able to dig them from the sand. To helping them wake up. The. Watching them get stronger and finally releasing them was just a very humbling moment. Something we will always remember. I strongly urge anyone considering this tour to use this tour guide. Well worth the time and money. Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Adorable experience releasing baby turtles!!! - We had a wonderful excursion on Monday releasing baby turtles in Juluchuca Playa Icacos! Ulises was very communicative with me before the trip. Mariana was a wonderful host! While we took a shuttle ride there we were offered some drinks and she provided a lot of information of the towns we drove through to get there. It was just my husband and I on this excursion so we were lucky to release MANY baby turtles into the ocean! It was such a cool experience and would do it again!! Thank you!!!!

Saving the sea turtles and future generations! - Fabian was our guide. Friendly and knowledgeable about Zihuatanejo on our ride to Playa Blanca and the non profit sea turtle sanctuary. The director there was informative and stressed the need to continue to save all sea turtles. We released a new generation of babies into the ocean. What a marvelous experience. Recommend it !

Incredible! - We loved the turtle release!! Mariana and Paco were amazing guides. Very friendly and laid back. We got the whole experience to ourselves, and got to release about 10 baby turtles. Magical! Would 10/10 recommend

Everyone was super friendly and knowledgeable ! The drivers told us about local fruits and areas as we drove. - We would go back again! The entire staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the gorgeous day and recommend this to everyone

Memory maker! - Nothing better when you can combine a great family fun outing with an educational experience. Kids and adults Loved it!
