208 reviews

Buckle up for a nighttime adventure with the turtles on this unforgettable Boa Vista beach walk. After hotel pick up, you're heading to one of the world's top nesting beaches, where loggerhead turtles – the OG Caretta caretta – have been laying their eggs for centuries. It's not just any beach – it's the third-largest nesting spot on the planet, so you know you're in for something special.

Once you arrive, your guide will spill all the deets on these incredible creatures.
You'll get the lowdown on why Boa Vista is a turtle paradise and how the locals are working hard to keep it that way. Then comes the main event.

With the stars lighting the way, you'll stroll down to the beach with a biologist, ready to watch these amazing creatures do their thing. It's pure magic as you see the turtles nesting under the night sky – prepare to be seriously wowed. You'll then head back to camp, buzzing from the experience, before being whisked back to your hotel.

    Because it was the end off the season in 2 weeks. The guide got some turtles and put them in the ground as if they had found a nest. It was so lovely the released them tho.

    Seeing the turtles was magnificent but the lack of red lights when walking to the site was dangerous

    It really is a bumpy ride! Saw tiny turtles that had been rescued from the beach ready for a safe release. Guides had set expectations that we were probably unlikely to see a turtle laying eggs as it was so late in the season. We were very fortunate after quite a wait to be able to witness this. We would have been very disappointed if we had not seen the egg laying, as it was such a magical experience.

    Vehicles are unsafe, no internal roll cages for off road safety. Seating cramped and side on, unsuitable for 8 adults. No hand holds in the rear, passengers tossed around, lap seat belts not self adjusting. Hatching turtles treated in humanely, taken from someone’s pocket and thrown in to a dug hole for everyone to crowd around and take pictures and handle. These animals were trying to do their natural thing and travel to the sea only to be picked up and tossed back in to the pit. Disgustin
