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.

    It was magical to be able to see what we saw however, you put 7 grown people at the back of a very shaky vehicle. The comfort of the long drive with that speed was crazy! It felt like nice we saw the turtle then we were rushed back to the hotel and no consideration on how it was at the back of that car.

    This has to be the most uplifting and emotional trip we have gone on. The guides were fantastic & the setting we arrived at the beach to was just beyond words, no light pollution and a crystal clear sky with more stars than I ever thought possible, the closeness to the turtles as she lates her eggs was breathtaking. Drawnack, no facility, but I do understand you cannot just plonk a loo in a setting like that, so it was well worth the bladder discomfort 😂😂

    The bus wasn't the most comfortable, this was the only down side to the tour. It was a truly memorable experience to be able to get so close to this wonderful piece of nature. Special mention to our guide Bruno, so much knowledge and willing to answer all questions

    It was almost 3 hours of being thrown around in the back of a 4x4 with no leg room to finally see the Turtle lay eggs. It was nice to see but visability was so poor you only got to see the back part of the Turtle in a dim red light. My photos are just darkness with a dim red light. Definitely wouldn't do it again. Apart from lead person the team didn't speak. Had a puncture on the way back. I helped swap the wheel over, but didn't get a thanks or any acknowledgement. Would not recommend.
