This tour is for all nature lovers. In this tour, you will have the exciting and wonderful opportunity to watch turtle nesting. Accompanied by a bilingual guide, you will walk along the beach in search of the turtles and witness the turtle nesting process at either Camaronal, Corozalito or Ostional Beach. It starts with the hole that the turtles dig, then lay eggs, cover them then go back to the sea. If you are lucky, you will see eggs crack open and see how baby turtles are born. This is a one-time experience you cannot miss. Please refrain from using bright lights, bright clothing and loud sounds, since we are in their natural ecosystem, we need to be repecful and aware.

    September and October are the strongest months for turtle nesting. The pick up starts at hotels within the Samara-Carrillo Beach area.

    You will ride with a driver/guide to either Corozalito Beach or Camaronal Beach towards the South from Samara or if there is an arribada in Ostional Beach, the tour will be changed for no additional cost.

Nous avons vu une seule tortue mais alors quel spectacle. Merci à notre guide Ricardo, un vrai passionné, qui nous a parfaitement accompagné lors de cette émouvante expérience.

Facts: about 50-60min drive to the beach, which might get a bit bumpy. Arriving there you have an 800m in width beach on your own. Only small groups of 8-10 people walk there - maybe 3 in total. The night sky is simply breathtaking- the atmosphere at the Pacific by night is worth the trip alone. You cannot make appointments with wilderness with 90 min waiting we were lucky and watched a turtle coming up the beach. She needed 3 attempts to find the right place to lay the eggs. Assisted and granted by the ranger, we were allowed to make photos/videos from the entire process until the turtle disappeared into the ocean. It was overall a 5 hours trip, we were lucky that our guide allowed for the extension granting us to see this magical “moment “. Hope you guys are lucky, too! Enjoy the trip
