Sal Turtle Nesting Beach Tour

4.6/5
755 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.

    Brilliant. Lots of useful information received from our guide Lizzy. Managed our expectations well because of the end of the season. Saw two turtles doing their thing. All good.

    Loved the experience. Think the guides should be a little bit more strick with people's behaviour ie standing and walking about durring the waiting time but you'll always get people who dont listen
