Awesome! - Very informative and fun! Eduardo is an amazing guide and Antonio does awesome with the photos so you can just be in the moment. We not only got to learn about and see the baby turtles, but so much other wildlife as well! Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend! - We loved our experience especially learning about the sea turtles beforehand - it added significance to the release knowing the dangers these little turtles face the moment they are are laid in their nest on the beach. Not going to lie, made me a little emotional seeing the little guys scuttle toward the crashing waves to start their lives. Eddie, our guide was great! We stopped by a mangrove-y area on our way to the turtle habitat to see some crocodiles. But we were quite a good distance away and just steps from the beach, so we never felt like we were in danger! He also waited for the whole group to get their uber/taxis when the day was over - we appreciated that extra layer of cautiousness!

Once in a Lifetime Experience and Opportunity - Incredible amazing and awesome experience with the beautiful baby sea turtles. Eduardo was so passionate about this Conversation Project and was an engaging and informative speaker who presented great information to educate and raise awareness about turtles. I would volunteer in a heartbeat if I lived here. Kelly from Canada
