About this experience
You will have the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable experience releasing a baby sea turtle to the ocean.
The tour will start at the lobby of your hotel to take the ride to our destination, along the way you will see the unique scenary of the pacific Mexican coastline as well as learning more about the nature of this baby sea turtle and more with our experienced guides.
Finally, each of you will have in a special conteiner a baby sea turtle to be released free into the sand, wehere it will run to the ocean.
The fascinating thing about this activity is that the turtles released are baby turtles that are just a few hours old. Because they are in a protected federal zone, we must comply with many requirements that the authorities ask of us, including:
The releases must be in the afternoon
Not having direct contact with the baby turtles
Listening to the instructions of the authorities.
With this activity we are helping the conservation of the sea turtle.
