Sal is a key nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, and this private tour gives you the most intimate way to experience it. With private hotel pick‑up and your own multilingual guide, you'll head to the protected reserves of Costa Fragata or Serra Negra to learn about turtle biology and conservation before quietly watching these incredible creatures come ashore to nest under the stars.

This was one of the most magical experiences we've ever had. From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about turtles, and made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the night. The glamping tent was such a beautiful surprise, cozy and added a special touch of hospitality. And the highlight? We witnessed a turtle come ashore and lay her eggs, just a few meters away from us. It was emotional and unforgettable.

Possibly the worst experience we have been on.

Wir wurden von Janet super begleitet und konnten das Einmalige Erlebnis ganz privat genießen. Absolut zu empfehlen und den Gruppenaktionen vorzuziehen.

Unvergessliches Erlebnis für die ganze Familie! Magisch. Danke Janet, du hast uns mit sehr viel Liebe in die Welt der Schildkröten mitgenommen.

Honestly best experience of the holiday. We booked the private tour and got such an up close and personal experience. The tour guides were so friendly and put in a massive effort to make it a special experience. Would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone that visits Cape Verde
