This is truly more than a tour. It is an unforgettable, educational experience like no other. Witness the miracle that has played itself out continually at Playa Ostenal and Playa Grande since time can tell. By sunset or under the moon and stars, watch the nesting process of the Olive Ridgely Turtles and the Leather Back Turtles (Baulas) respectively. Turtles venture to shore nightly to lay their eggs. Traditionally each turtle lays between 100-120 ping pong size eggs. A certified, local, guide will lead you to the nesting turtles and explain the nesting process and the do’s and don’ts.
