On this Tamarindo Turtle Nesting tour, you will have the rare chance to see Olive Ridley and Green Pacific sea turtles, dig their nests, lay their eggs, and sometimes even see the babies hatching and making their way out to sea! The professional tour guide will take you walking along some remote beaches just North of Playa Grande in search of the turtles as they arrive and dig their nests in the sand! Due to the sensitive nature of this naturalist tour, we prohibit the use of flashlights or flash on your cameras, but you may take pictures. A special red light will be provided by the guide that does not disturb the turtles. Turtles can be seen year round, but November to April is the peak season for turtle nesting.

This tour was one of the most incredible experiences we had in Costa Rica. We were able to witness a baby turtle make the trek out to the ocean solo and a mother turtle searching for an ideal place for her eggs. Anthony, our guide, was so knowledgeable and passionate about environmental preservation and the plight of turtles. The sunset was breathtaking and being at the beach at night to witness this event is something that we'll never forget! A must do for all!

Saw some turtles but we felt really uneasy as we were too close to the baby turtles and mum. Quite hazardous towards them as there were no crowd control. We also felt like we were imposing. Knowledgable experience but knowing what we know now, in hindsight, wouldn’t probably sign up for this tour. Far better way to learn about turtles without disturbing them in the middle of the night!

The area is beautiful, but unfortunately, the turtle watching practice is prohibited in Costa Rica. People were basically on top of the turtles and getting in the way of them moving. This is illegal in Costa Rica and the tour guide let it happen. This organization needs to protect and respect the wildlife more.
