    My husband and I went out with a biologist on an amazing nighttime experience, "Turtle Patrol." With our guide, Eduardo, we traveled by ATV (just the 3 of us) and covered a long stretch of beach where turtles lay their eggs. Eduardo showed us how to recognize tracks left by mama turtles, locate the exact location of the nest, carefully collect the turtle eggs, and record relevant data. We found 5 nests and collected approximately 500 eggs. A long the way we also saw a baby crocodile on the beach and rather large adult crocodile in the water! A highlight was finding two mama turtles laying their eggs and very diligently burying the eggs in the sand. We took the eggs back to camp and learned how to recreate the nest in an enviroment that is protected from predators and poachers. Eduardo was an excellent guide as he was energetic, knowledgeable and passionate about helping sea turtles. He even picked us up from and dropped us off at our hotel since it was close to the beach we patrolled. This is perfect for people who enjoy active experiences and want to learn about sea turtle conservation. We definitely got sandy!

    Eduardo is extremely passionate about his work and made us feel safe while educating us the entire time we were there. We searched for turtle nests for several hours and managed to collected 85 eggs which was exciting to be apart of. If you care for animals/turtles and want to learn about some of the preservation efforts and challenges going on in the area then this is a truly unique experience for the family. Eduardo was a great person to learn from and made the entire night very enjoyable.

    This tour was incredible, I have never done anything like this before! It is incredible the work that this organization is doing to protect the sea turtles and I love that they give you the opportunity to live it since for this you need to be a biologist and have a special permit!!! I recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals and loves adventure and learning new things!!! Just don't do it if you are a person who doesn't like to walk😂

    Eduardo and his team were wonderful guides. They were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and accommodating the entire experience. My girlfriend and I hadn’t done an experience like this before, being able to make change like this was the highlight of our trip. Words can’t begin to express how magical this experience was. Eduardo’s expertise was truly unparalleled, in just a few short hours we were able to save hundreds of baby turtle eggs and observe several mothers begin their nesting. If you have time, do it! We feel as though we’ve made friendships for a lifetime and will be back to hopefully save more and set up more baby turtles for success. Thanks again for everything Eduardo and team, keep up the good work!
