Family Favorite - This experience was amazing. Our original date was cancelled due to there being no eggs that day. I text with the guide and they were responding promptly. About an hour long lesson on marine turtles, how they build nests, how they get into the ocean, etc. It was very well done by a marine biologist. Then you get to release your turtle. there is a walk on soft sand , I’d guess it’s about a quarter mile. Our group ranged from 2 to 50 and we all loved it (even the teenager).

Kid’s favorite activity! - Our original date was delayed because there were no hatched eggs that day. I did have to be the one to text and ask if the day the day we didn’t have other things planned but every time I did, I got a quick response. We drove ourselves, it’s a big of a haul and we did have to wait for some horses that we seriously in the road by the range (one even tried to eat the passenger side mirror). Once there, the activity is fantastic. A great lesson from a marine biologist about marine turtles, their nests, their eggs, etc. He did a staged version of finding a nest (don’t tell this kids!). And we got to each release a turtle. There is some walking through soft sand, I’d say quarter mile or so? But this experience was 100% worth it and the fee goes towards the conservation efforts. Our group was 2yo, 6yo, 15yo and two adults, everyone loved it.

No Turtles - If the turtles are not hatching then they would not be able to go on an excursion. Also, the tour operator takes forever to return messages and leave you hanging.. I also need to figure out how I’m gonna get my money back. They did let me know if I wanted to do something else but I couldn’t because of health issue.

SCAM - Do not use this company - they are a SCAM! We booked a tour a month before our arrival, paid $100usd for a taxi to get to the location as they are extremely far from town, only to find out that the company did not offer the tour; it was listed on their website and purchased directly through the company, but wasn't offered. We are now out hundreds of dollars. Numerous attempts were made with the owner to get a refund, but no follow-up was ever made. We were also never told that this tour was not offered, even though it had been booked for weeks. This is not a local company - it is a French company that is DISHONEST. Do not book tours through this company, they tell you what you want to hear but do not offer what shows on their website or follow through on what they say.

Dishonest! - We booked a tour as a family of 3 and had to pay for an expensive cab ride to the location, only to discover this ranch does not offer these tours and it was a scam.  Do not book through this company!!!
