Lots for all ages 7 and up. - We had an informative, educational and down right fun time at the turtle release. It was fun to watch the turtles I released race my wife’s - who’s weren’t interested in much exersize. The sunset was out of this world as the last of the lazy boys were helped to the water.

Unforgettable experience in Cabo! - The turtle release was an amazing experience! We learned so much about the lifecycle of these beautiful creatures and why conservation efforts like these are so important. Vanusa (sp?) was our guide and she did a wonderful job explaining how few turtles actually make it to maturity due to predators both above and below the ocean's surface, and how the females (if they survive) will return to this same spot to lay eggs 25 years from now. Each of us got to release two (2) relatively newborn turtles back into the ocean (they were about 2 hours hours old) via "half shell" coconuts - you can't actually touch the babies with your hands unless you're wearing gloves. Can't recommend this excursion enough - very unique and made us feel like we were playing a very small part in ensuring the survival of these precious turtles. Not only do you get to release the turtles, but you get a fabulous sunset on the beach as well!

Highlight of our trip! - Great to get out of the tourist areas and see the conservation work and dedication that goes in to trying to save endangered Olive Ridley turtles along the quieter stretches of the Baja coast. Cabotrek team were friendly and helpful and made sure the group were all looked after in two vehicles. Donkey ranch and the beautiful pacific sunset were added bonuses, on top of the baby turtle release.

Very disappointed - It was really not worthy. They don’t let us to release the turtle near by the sea , not sure what is the meaning of this if we can not release the turtle to the sea safely. And the place they give presentation is horrible, no AC , a lots of flys etc….
