Olive Ridley Turtle Nesting Tour (Tortuga Lora) · Jul–Nov

Between July and November, one of nature's most moving spectacles unfolds on our Pacific beaches: the endangered **Olive Ridley sea turtle (tortuga lora)** comes ashore under the cover of night to dig her nest and lay 90 to 110 eggs in the warm sand. Weeks later, tiny hatchlings emerge and rush toward the ocean guided only by moonlight. This 2-hour ethical night tour brings you to a beach where local guides work closely with conservation programs to protect the nests. Your bilingual naturalist guide uses ONLY red flashlights (turtle-safe — bright white light disorients both nesting mothers and hatchlings) and keeps groups small and silent so nature stays in charge. From a respectful distance you'll watch the process of nesting or, if the timing is right, witness the exhilarating dash of hatchlings to the surf. We pick you up at 6:00 PM. Departure and arrival times depend on the tide — we confirm the exact schedule the day before. All gear is included: rubber boots, red-filter headlamps, transport, and access.
