Tour de anidación de tortugas

Our turtle nesting tour with Sol Eco Adventures was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the experience was professional, educational, and deeply respectful of the wildlife we were there to observe. Luis was incredibly knowledgeable [scientist-level], sharing fascinating insights about the sea turtles, their nesting behaviors, and the conservation efforts to help protect these remarkable animals. Witnessing an emerging leatherback turtle in the natural habitat was one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife experiences we've ever had. Luis carefully balanced guest experience with environmental responsibility, ensuring the turtle remained undisturbed while providing unforgettable viewing opportunities [+guidance]. What stood out most was Luis' passion for animals & Costa Rica. His genuine commitment to conservation was evident throughout the tour and made the experience even more meaningful. We left with a greater appreciation for these incredible creatures and the importance of protecting them now knowing all they overcome to survive. If you're visiting Costa Rica and have the opportunity to join a turtle nesting tour with Luis/Sol Eco Adventures, don't hesitate. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines adventure, education, and conservation in the best possible way. Highly recommended. Five stars.

My turtle tour with Luis was one of the best experiences I had in Costa Rica. He went above and beyond to make sure I had the best possible experience. Luis shared a lot of fascinating information about sea turtles, and together we even helped two baby turtles safely reach the ocean. His passion, knowledge, and dedication made this tour truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Costa Rica.

Luis was an amazing guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable. Our visit was action packed. We were able to see two baby turtles and even save one of them from the ghost crabs. We were also able to see a mom turtle come out of the ocean, find a good place to build a nest, dig a nest and a hole as well as lay the eggs. I don’t think there is anything more we could have asked for.

Luis was an outstanding guide! He was highly knowledgeable and very accommodating. We were fortunate to help two baby turtles fend off the many ghost crabs as they found their way to the ocean. We then saw a green turtle come ashore and dig a nest to lay her eggs. In between the baby tuerles going to see and the green turtle laying eggs, Luis took as to some nearby pools where we saw many other types of sea life, like urchins and fish. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Luis, he spent a lot of time looking for tracks and because he is in communication with other guides, we were able to find a turtle making her nest and right next to her was another nest where baby turtles were making the journey to the ocean. It takes patience to wait to find one but if the conditions are right and you’re lucky, you will get to see something incredible. Even if we hadn’t seen it ourselves, Luis was happy to explain the whole process and answer all our questions. He’s been doing it for 15 years so it was great to hear him talk about it and the tour was worth it just for his knowledge. Highly recommend!

This is a great tour. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Just be advised that it greats dark quickly which can be scary, a long bumpy road and a lot of walking involved., but it was all worth it. We had a great time. We saw 3 turtles and a host of other creatures.

Watched a green turtle haul out and return to the sea. A surprisingly moving experience. Definitely recommend you do this.

Fantastic! What an experience to see a 300-pound female turtle on the beach. Our guide Luis is incredibly knowledgeable and told us so much about this amazing animal. Don't miss this.

An amazing experience! Luis was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and really a delight. Nighly recommend!!

Wow!!!!! Luis is amazing. The communication has been great. I booked months ago and starting days before the trip we were in touch about meeting place and time and he was so accommodating. My two sisters and I were coming from several hours away the day of the tour and had concerns about timing and making sure we could have something to eat beforehand and he graciously provided several options for dining based on our timing and preference. We were kind of a pain really and he was so Latino with us. The tour!!!!! It is so evident he cares for the animals and their well being. I felt there was proper practice around sharing the experience while protecting the safety of the turtles. He put great effort into making sure we had a wonderful experience - and it paid off! We witnessed hatchlings make their first journey to the ocean, which in and of itself was phenomenal. Then we were able to go to another nearby beach and witness a mother finishing her nest and actually laying eggs, another mother starting her nest, and meanwhile another female coming out of the ocean to find her place. We didn’t see much of the moving turtle as the are the most sensitive and Luis was very clear about that - while we all wanted to see her, he took great care to make sure we only glimpsed so as not to disturb her. He was very knowledgeable and was happy to share. His enthusiasm for their life cycle and his care for their well being was really special. I don’t typically like this type of tour due to the disturbance it can cause, but Luis struck a great balance of sharing the magic and making sure they were not disturbed. I highly recommend this tour!!! Notable: we visited in off season-there were no other groups on the beach.
