Turtles come to lay their eggs in and around Puerto Escondido throughout the year. Without human intervention, however, only a few of these amazing creatures will survive into the days after they hatch.

Participate in helping local organizations to preserve the turtles. We will pick you up at your hotel in the afternoon to arrive at our beach for sunset. There, you will participate in the release of the baby turtles in their natural environment.

We will take you back to your home full of unforgettable memories!!!

A highlight in Puerto Escondido. - A really worthwhile experience that was an emotional connection with nature. Well organised and friendly efficient tour company. Lovely beach to chill at watching the sun go down and then an educational talk before the release.

Sweet & Unique Educational Experience - Wonderful trip. Very professional. A great opportunity to practice my Spanish while having an educational natural experience. There was a bit of waiting until the sun set and then there was lots of action as we cheered our babies on to make it out to the ocean! Unique experience!

Overly Long - The only reason for 3 stars was because of the length of the trip. We were picked up at 4:20 by Carlos - who was great despite our challenges in communicating with him. Our understanding was that the tour was 2 hours but in fact when we arrived at the site, we ended up sitting on the beach for almost 2 hours before the interpreter began talking. Most other people arrived a half hour before, which would have been perfect. Didn’t get dropped off until close to 8:00 pm. The turtle release itself was great as was the interpreter. Be aware and ask for a later pickup!
