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.

    We were really lucky that there were two turtles already digging nests when we arrived and two more emerged from the sea whilst we watched. The guide was full of knowledge and it was just magic watching these amazing creatures. It’s a tough drive off-road for half of it but well worth it.

    Watching turtles literally at the arm’s length, digging hole to lay eggs have been fabulous experience with such amazing sky above us! We have never saw such view - spectacular. Our guide has provided good overview about turtles which I found very interesting (and very tough for turtles) but was very informative.

    The transfer to the beach is bumpy and around 90 mins, however the TUI staff did warn us several times whilst booking, so we were prepared. We arrived at the beach and were taken straight up as a title was trying to nest. We saw three turtles and one laid her eggs. We even saw a baby making its journey to the sea. Incredible experience
