Turn turtle watching into a family adventure with this fun nighttime treasure hunt. After a comfy hotel transfer, you'll head to the natural reserves of Costa Fragata or Serra Negra, where your guide kicks things off with a playful intro to sea turtles. Kids hunt for clues revealing fascinating insights, then everyone heads to the beach to watch the turtles nest under the stars. It's a magical mix of learning, exploring and awe-inspiring moments for both adults and children.

Our guide Lucy was very knowledgeable and a lovely friendly person for our two children to learn so much from during this magical experience. Thank you.

Great swift pick up and drop off . Experience and expert biologist . This was by far the most beautiful thing I have done ! Seeing the Turtles laying eggs was breathtaking. Maybe TIU need to do more to promote protected animals and how what you do to help locals marine life . The guide Patrick was absolutely brilliant !!!

Mi è piaciuta la professionalità e la preparazione della guida. Mi è piaciuta la comodità della spiaggia e la splendida esperienza con le tartarughe. Forse l'unica cosa da migliorare, viaggiando con bambini, è la lunghezza dell'attesa, peraltro più che comprensibile e giustificata.

Zuerst möchte wir uns bei den beiden Mitarbeiterinnen von Sealife Experience Camilla und Doro nochmal recht herzlich für ihre Hilfsbereitschaft bei unserer Tour bedanken. Wir hatten ein unvergessliches Erlebnis und konnten vier Schildkröten aus dem Wasser kommen sehen, zwei beim eierlegen zusehen und zum Schuss wieder zurück ins Wasser gehen sehen. Das werden wir bestimmt nichtmehr vergessen. Doro war eine sehr gute Führerin und hat uns mit allen Informationen versorgt. Tour ist zu empfehlen.
