Assisting Baby Turtles - We went to Petatillo beach where the turtle farm had determined that the baby turtles would hatch that evening. We were able to assist the turtles that had hatched make their emergence from the sand. Then after they were ready to head to the ocean, we released the turtle about 20 feet from the surf. And root them on. A great expierence. Our guides Fabian and Andy were very good.

Not to be missed! Sea Turtle Release with Ulises - Ulises was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about sea turtles. His staff were very attentive and helpful. The turtle release was both educational as well as fun! We loved helping the turtles get back into the sea and will remember it always.

Baby Turtle release with Ketavi tours- Zihuatenejo - It was a very rewarding experience for us. The turtle farm has a beautiful site,and the curator was very knowledgeable. The ATV ride was a little rough for us senior citizens, but worth the trip. Orion is a great guide and Benjamin made us feel very safe on the trip. Orion talked about the different towns we drove through and he took questions from us. He was also helpful when we got to the destination of the turtle farm and he helped translate the curators comments and the questions we had about the turtles. Orion helped us with taking pictures and videos of myself and Trish. We told everyone at our resort they should go themselves.

5 Stars from Wisconsin/Minnesota - When our driver Benjamin picked us up he was very nice, informative about culture and answered our crazy questions. The two men (I’m very bad with names) were so helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. All 4 of us were extremely pleased with this tour and would recommend to everyone to help the turtles!
