Beyond Words and A Must!! - There really are not enough wonderful words in the English language to describe this experience!!! From the communication and welcoming of the staff who go above and beyond, the education provided about the turtles and of course the amazing, incredible experience of releasing those little babies back into the sea against one of Gods most incredible sunsets is beyond words! It's a must for any age and a family memory your kids will never forget!

Best Part of our Trip - We did this experience with our 5 year old and 7 year old. It was a bucket list experience for sure and the highlight of our trip. We had some fun hiccups getting there but they went above and beyond making it work for us. We are so grateful and the pictures are a treasure.

Baby Turtle release in Cabo San Lucas - Amazing experience with Cabo Trek. The staff was excellent. We met them at their office in Cabo. We left in a small group in a comfortable van and went to the beach. We had refreshments and learned a bit about the turtles. We walked out on to the beach at sunset and we were incredibly fortunate to release 300 baby turtles. I don't think this is common. Extraordinary experience for all!

What a magical tour - This tour will always be unforgettable for us. It was a magical feeling to release these little creatures into the wide sea. It was incredibly beautiful. The ranch where the tour starts was worth a visit on its own. What an idyllic place. Once there you feel like you are in another world, surrounded by a lovingly designed ranch with horses, donkeys and chickens and of course the beach and sea. Just peaceful. The guides made the tour unforgettable. We learned a lot about the turtles and enjoyed the stay from front to back. The meal together at the end was really great & very delicious. We recommend this tour 100 percent. It is also a great turtle protection program that fully deserves all the support. A thousand thanks and good luck 🥰

Create a special memory! Release a baby turtle! - The whole group was cheering on each other’s baby turtle to make it to the surf and beyond. It was informative, touching, and fun!

Magical Experience in Cabo - We booked the baby turtle release and it was honestly one of the most beautiful and meaningful experiences we’ve ever had. Patricio and Juan, the biologists who guided us, were incredible. You can tell they truly care about the turtles and their work they were so informative, patient, and passionate the entire time. Watching our kids, hold the tiny babies, and release them into the ocean was magical and emotional all at once. It felt like a once in a lifetime moment and we’re so grateful we got to share it as a family. Thank you Rancho Carisuva, and a huge shoutout to Patricio and Juan for making the experience unforgettable. Completely recommend this tour it’s something you’ll remember forever.

Book it you will thank yourself later. - Excellent experience. Top notch operation from the beginning til we were dropped off it was a VIP feel. It was a fairly short walk to the ocean from their facility. It was at sunset which made it even better. We got to name our turtle and as we released it we watched as all of them made their way to the sea. We will be back.

An experience EVERYONE should do! - Aurora our tour guide paid special attention to ensure everyone had a good experience. Juan the biologist provided a wealth of information about turtles and the importance of the conservation ranch in helping turtles. An amazing and heartwarming experience of nature.

Interesting and unique experience - From the marina, you’re driven by van 35 min on the Pacific Ocean side to Rancho Carisuva. We were offered soda, water or Powerade on the drive. Upon arrival, a marine biologist told the group (there are other vans of people who arrive there as well) about the turtles which I thought was interesting. There is a restroom there and lockers. When the sun was about to set, we walked quite a long ways to the beach. Everyone got a bowl and then a newly hatched turtle was placed in each bowl. They counted down and we all released the turtles at the same time. We watched as they made their way to the water. Bring a jacket or sweatshirt as it got chilly.

Turtles Awesome! Staff Awesome! Sustainability has room for improvement. - The trip was well coordinated and organized. The ride from the meeting point near the Marina in Cabo was pleasant and felt safe and secure. The education from the marine biologist and the actual turtle release were both really amazing. One thing that kind of surprised me was that they told us to bring a re-fillable water bottle. But when we got there, they said to leave our packs and personal belongings in the van, and then offered everyone bottles of water. As an eco tour company, I think this was not a great idea. I think they should instead have ice water (possibly some with lemon or cucumber or something for flavour) and encourage us to refill our own water bottles, which we could easily have done. After the release, they again offered a plastic bottle of water to take away. Such a waste! And finally, in the van on the ride back to Cabo, we were offered a snack. This too was a really nice gesture, but could have been made so much more meaningful with just a little pre-planning. Instead of offering plastic wrapped chips, granola bars, and candies (probably from Costco or Walmart) why not get local fruit (oranges? bananas? passion fruit?) and pastries from a local bakery (or even from the grocery store) to share with your guests and support both local businesses and sustainability?
