Night Turtle Nesting Tour fra Tamarindo
Beskrivelse
På denne Tamarindo Turtle Nesting-tur får du den sjældne chance for at se Olive Ridley og Green Pacific havskildpadder, grave deres reder, lægge deres æg og nogle gange endda se babyerne klække og komme ud til havet! Den professionelle rejseguide tager dig med til at gå langs nogle afsidesliggende strande lige nord for Playa Grande på jagt efter skildpadderne, når de ankommer og graver deres reder i sandet! På grund af den følsomme natur af denne naturforskertur, forbyder vi brugen af lommelygter eller blitz på dine kameraer, men du kan tage billeder. Et særligt rødt lys vil blive leveret af guiden, der ikke forstyrrer skildpadderne. Skildpadder kan ses året rundt, men november til april er højsæsonen for skildpadder, der yngler.

Lived up to expectations. Excited to see few green sea turtle coming out of ocean and couple returning back. 2 baby turtles were highlight of tour.
We were very lucky on our tour! We saw 2 adult turtles one heading back to sea and the other we got to watch dig her nest. We also got to experience 2 nests hatch so for us it was an amazing experience! The shuttle ride was longer than expected and there are no bathrooms but other than that this was one of our favorite excursions
The pickup was in the centre of town. The guide was very clear on his instructions, and was very respectful towards the turtles! He took us to a remote beach where we saw 2 mama and a couple of baby turtles. It was an amazing experience would definitely recommend it!
We saw two turtle tried to dig the hole for nesting, but eventually the turtle gave up. Wish we had the luck seeing the nesting.
Natives Way did this tour and our guide Ivan was amazing -he was very knowledgeable and had an eagle eye to spot the turtles and ensure we had the best experience-we were lucky to see about a dozen turtles overall and one nest and lay eggs.
What a moving experience! We watched as two green sea turtles dragged themselves up the beach from the ocean. One of them started to dig in the sand, but then moved on to another location just a few feet away. The second turtle did not end up nesting, but we did watch as she made her way a flipper at time back into the surf. While the first turtle was excavating away, with sand flying, in another hole nearby we saw about a dozen little turtles making their way from their eggs to the top of the hole. Wow! Then back with the first Momma turtle, she had finished digging we formed a circle and watched her lay her eggs. What an experience!
Would definitely recommend. Ivan was our guide and he was awesome!! We initially went to a relatively easy area of a beach and our guide found 2 baby turtles that we saw come up from the area they had hatched and make their way all the way to the surf. Very inspiring. We also saw a large green turtle in the same area but she decided that tonight was not the night and made her way back to sea. But then our guide got the call that a sea turtle was in the process of digging her hole to lay eggs on an adjacent beach. This was going to entail going back in the bus for a short ride and a 20 minute walk to get there. We were all in. After trekking through a trail lit by a full moon, stars and some bats we witnessed an amazing site - an enormous green turtle digging out a large hole with her back flippers and then laying her ping pong sized eggs. Truly awesome.
We have seen 3 large and one small turtles. During our tour, care was taken to be quiet and only take photos without flash to avoid disturbing the turtles.
Our tour guide, Ivan was very informative and really worked hard going up and down the beach to locate turtles. We only saw one female travel up to the shore, but she ended up returning to the sea without laying any eggs. That’s Mother Nature., you never know what will happen..
We enjoyed this excursion, where you got to be very close to giant green sea turtles on the beach. We took our kids ages 6 and 8 and they did okay but definitely would be better for older kids 10+. There was about an hour drive from Tamarindo to the beach (second half on dirt road, but driver was good) and once you arrive at the beach there’s a fair bit of waiting and patience for the turtles to arrive. We saw 2 turtles start the nesting process but they were in a rocky location so they didn’t lay eggs by the time we left the beach at 8:30pm, and we saw another turtle climbing the beach on our way back — it seems like you’d have to get pretty lucky to see a turtle lay eggs so early in the night. Our guide Antony was knowledgeable and respectful of the turtles — he was even policing others in the beach to make sure they weren’t shining lights that would interrupt the nesting process. We saw one other Group on the beach but we were mostly alone with our group of about 15 people and the guide. It was fun seeing the turtles and the beach at night was beautiful. We arrived back in Tamarindo at 9:30pm
