Encounter with the nature at the sea turtle camp

Summary Description

Meet with your guide and the rest of our guests at our office in Marina Vallarta, where we begin with an informative talk about the biology and ecology of sea turtles.

At the end of the talk, we go aboard our comfortable vehicles and go to our destination: the Boca de Tomates Sea Turtle Camp. To get there, we have to walk on the beach less than half of a mile (656 yards), on sand and loose gravel. Once at the camp, the guide will explain to you about the site and the work done there to protect the turtles. At dusk, the camp managers will tell us how to help the little turtles get safe and sound to the ocean.

Once the hatchlings have reached the sea, we will walk back to our vehicle looking for female turtles coming to shore to lay their eggs, however we cannot guarantee that we will find them, since they don’t have a specific place or time to spawn.

Note: From November the sunset time changes, therefore our schedule will be advanced one hour.
