Very cool!! - Great experience seeing the turtles race to the water. Very important to regulate the care to maintain the different species. A good informative talk before the release and how they patrol the night each evening. A 27km beach that was amazing. We chose an English presentation but Spanish also available. The van trip was a bit longer than expected since we waited for some people for over 15 minutes. Extremely inconsiderate on their part… nothing to do with the tour.

ideal to do it with your partner!! - I had the opportunity to do this turtle release tour in Puerto Escondido and it was a beautiful experience. We arrived at the beach in the evening, explained the process and then each released some turtles to the sea. It was very emotional and special.. It is ideal to do it with your partner!!

I recommend it! - of the most beautiful tours that I have done, I think it is a spectacular action to accompany and release turtles, to their place of origin and that they can be saved from the massive attack of birds!! Super recommended

Relaxing - It was a great experience. We learned about the 4 species of turtles that the group releases. The turtles we released were dolphin turtles, which were the most common type in this part of the pacific ocean. This is a chill and relaxing activity. Pretty cool playing a part in releasing the turtles into their natural habitat. Staff was also vigilent to assit with keeping the birds away so that the process was a sucess. Recommendation: Download WhatsApp for direct contact to the group through chat. The number is provided under the contacts in the Tripadvisor app.

Mixed emotions - Our guide was nice and on time. It was cool watching them dig up the baby turtles from their nests. I was beyond excited to hold my baby sea turtle in the bamboo bowl and release him into the ocean. We were all standing on the beach cheering on our little turtles scooting towards the sea. That’s when the amazing experience took a turn, the birds up above were diving into the water and flying off with baby turtles in their beaks. I couldn’t help but feel that I just paid to feed the birds :(
