Turtle nesting night experience in Boa Vista

Never got to see the turtles i spent over £100 on this experience and just sat waiting on a beach for a turtle that never came

2.5 hours no turtles

Our female tour guide was not very helpful she didn’t tell us much unless we answered questions, she laid down on the beach and played on her phone rather than speak with us, and she looked bored and said she was cold.. the two other guys who drove the jeep and the bus were lovely we got more out of them even though (U) the driver didn’t speak much English.. glad we saw turtles otherwise I think would of been disappointed.. and I think they should be more informative

Being able to witness the amazing moving experience of the turtle laying & burying her eggs This did not affect us as we didn’t have to wait long until we saw a turtle but it could be clearer on booking that there are no facilities available at all for the duration of the experience

WE HOPED TO SEE TURTLES BUT WERE REALISTIC ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MIGHT NOT HAPPEN. WHAT WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR WAS THE LONG DRIVE OVER VERY ROUGH TERRAIN, THEN HAVING TO WALK SINGLE FILE IN PITCH BLACK DARKNESS, NOT ABLE TO SEE WHERE YOU WERE WALKING ON VERY UNEVEN, ROCKY GROUND. THEN TO SIT ON THE SAND IN SILENCE FOR ALMOST 2 HRS WITH NO COMMUNICATION FROM OUR "GUIDE". WHEN THEY FINALLY FOUND A TURTLE, WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO WATCH HER WALK INTO THE SEA, BY A TINY RED BEAM OF LIGHT. POOR

English guide was brilliant. We were lucky to see nesting female, babies and they released a crate of babies too.
