I have participated in several turtle release activities, but this was much more unique. After pickup from our hotel, we were transported with a group of 10 people to a beautiful private beach about an hour from Tamarindo. The walk to the beach is about 15 mins on an uneven gravel path in the dark with flashlights. Once on the beach we saw 9 large greenbacks come out of the ocean and look for spots to lie eggs. Our guide, Christian, was great and we spent a good 2 plus hrs watching and learning about the turtles. None of the turtles we watched decided to nest or lay their eggs that night, but still an amazing experience. We only got to see greenbacks. Per our guide, he sees a leatherback only once every month or so.
Outstanding tour. Quick and amazing yo see the turtle laying eggs and digging holes. Fascinating. Perfect tour!
