Step into a magical adults‑only evening as you're picked up from your hotel and taken to the protected reserves of Costa Fragata or Serra Negra. In small groups of no more than ten, your guide shares insights into loggerhead turtles and local conservation before you walk the beach under the stars to quietly watch these incredible creatures nest – 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.

Booked for 9PM but on the day we were informed that it was cancelled due to lack of staff so rebooked for the following day using the earlier tile slot 8PM as that was the only option available. Waited at reception to be picked up from 7:45PM until 9:00PM, however, no-one arrived to collect us and there was no advice that it had been cancelled so gave up and obtained a refund.

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.
