    The turtle trip was excellent from pick up to drop off. Our guide was amazing, spoke many languages to make sure everyone was fully informed. He was very knowledgable about the turtles, and very enthusiastic about the well being and importance of the great conservation project in place. I would highly recommend this unforgettable experience, we felt very privileged to witness a beautiful Mother digging her nest, laying around 50 eggs, then painstakingly covering them.

    We enjoyed the whole experience. Our guides Marvin and Gilson were so knowledgeable. They knew exactly where to find the turtles and how to treat them. They helped us to get some great photos/videos without the group overcrowding the turtles. Really enjoyed it.

    Well organised, very respectful of the turtles. Rather than feeling like a tourist experience, where the animals are exploited. It really felt like you were witnessing something incredible. Great care was taken by the guide to ensure the group did not interrupt the turtle, yet balanced this with watching closely. Great experience

    Unser Tourguide war Marvin, es war eine englisch geführte Tour, aber dennoch hat er alles super erklärt und es war rundum sehr spannend. Man konnte alles erfragen, was einen interessiert hat, er hat es toll rüber gebracht. Wir hatten auch das Glück eine Schildkröte beim Eier legen beobachten zu können :) war ein wunderbares Erlebnis! Sehr zu empfehlen!

    Leuke ervaring, duur voor wat het is, leuk om 1x te doen; goede uilteg maar is lang wachten om schildpad te kunnen bekijken, wel goed dat ze tussendoor baby's brachten dat we mochten vastnemen
