Very Touristy but we loved it - We took this tour in late February with our 2 sons (9 and 11). These tours are clearly done for the masses and the coordination between all the different tour... read more operators to get in as many tourists as possible makes you feel like you are being herded a bit. But it was still one of the highlights of our trips because our guide was efficient, knew his turtles and how to get us the best sighting available on our night. We were lucky to see mama turtles digging nests and babies making their way to the sea in their natural environment. Our two kids coped well with the trekking, waiting and following of turtles in the night.

  No Turtles but an Incredible Star-filled Sky - It was low tide so only two turtles came ashore. In the end, neither of them built a nest. Still, we did see them up close. While we waited for... read more turtles we thoroughly enjoyed lounging on the beach and seeing a million stars across the sky.

There were about 20 people in all. Our guide, Luiz, did a fine job.

  Due to Luis' knowledge, we arrived quite early at the beach. We managed to see some hatchlings and two mother turtles as a result! There were larger tour groups who... read more came after us and did not seem to get as lucky. The stars and sunset were an added bonus. I am incredibly glad we picked this tour!
