This adults-only turtle watching tour is the perfect evening activity for your Cape Verde holiday. You'll be picked up from your hotel and taken to a glamping site, where you'll learn about the turtles and conservation efforts from your guide. Then, head out to the beach in a small group to spot loggerhead turtles – a rare and unforgettable experience.

Loved the turtles experience. Original date got cancelled as there wasn't enough people. Rebooked for a few days later. A bit confusing when a tui bus turned up saying my name wasn't on the list. Then a bus arrived behind and my name was on that list (phew) . The experience itself was amazing. Loads of turtles laying eggs and coming onto the beach. Guide was extremely informative. Noticed other guides/groups didnt respect the turtles as much as us and our guide. It was amazing.

Guide Anna was exceptionally pleasant and gave us excellent information

Beautiful experience. If you enjoy nature then this excursion is definitely not to be missed. Friendly tour guide, she was very informative. Lovely evening.

Absolutely brilliant experience. Everyone should do it.

What an amazing experience! To get to see a Loggerhead turtle laying her eggs, covering them and returning to the sea is nature at its best. Our guide Isla (hope it's spelled right) was very enthusiastic in sharing her knowledge with us. A definite must do experience.

We was waiting for 2 hours for the pick up. Stated 7:40pm pickup and we was there from 7:30pm, no show from the pickup. Awful, no email, no one to contact regarding it. Wasted a whole evening of our holiday, rushed dinner down to ensure we got there on time.
