Sal Turtle Nesting Beach Tour

4.7/5
169 reviews

If you're a wildlife lover, then watching nesting turtles is a must-do while in Sal. And this evening excursion takes you to beaches on the island where loggerhead turtles come up to the shore and nest so that you can experience up close nature in action.

After pick-up and transfer from your hotel, your guide will lead you to the nesting beaches around Sal. In small groups, you'll walk along the beach at night and watch out for loggerhead turtles making their way up onto the sand.

If we're lucky enough to spot a turtle, you'll have to sit down and stay as quiet as possible so as not to disturb them as they nest. Your guide will tell you everything they know about these fascinating creatures and how their welfare is the top priority for the island. It's a magical experience not to be missed.

    No instruction on just how windy or cold tge beach was. Nobody was appropriately dressed as the description only talks about footwear. Spent 3 hours on the beach futing which it rained making everyone colder. No turtles seen. I appreciate that is nature and you cannot predict z nesting, the the guides at No point explained this of offered up any sort of apology. The beach was overcrowded with other groups as well.

    Brilliant to be able to experience the nesting at the beach this evening. Knowledgeable guides shared lots of information with us so we were able to understand more about the nesting process, lifespan of the turtles and then see them laying their eggs in the sand.
