This activity was an once in a life time opportunity! The host notified us that it was a low season for the turtle release but we got super lucky and they hatched today! The whole conservation crews are doing a really good job on educating the public on turtle population and endangerment.

We arrived as directed in a remote location after spending $15 for a taxi. No one showed up or notified us of a cancellation. We walked for 40 minutes in the rain to find another taxi (another $15). It’s impossible to contact Viator about getting our money back.

Had a fantastic time. The guide was very informative and shared a lot about how the camp works prior to releasing the turtles. It's a magical experience! If you have the chance, do it!

Enjoyed every minute of our time learning about turtles and the incredible efforts these folks are putting into turtle conservation. Loved seeing the baby turtles being released the ocean. 10 out of 10, highly recommended.

This is unlike many/ most excursions as it takes you behind the scenes of Mexico’s efforts to support the recovery of the local turtle populations in PV. There is a brief presentation of information on the world’s turtle species and then they show you where and how they do their work, culminating in an opportunity to release a newly- hatched baby into the ocean and wish them good luck. If they are a female, they will return to this very beach to lay their eggs in 20-ish years. Our group had several young people in it and they enjoyed it just as much as the adults. As well they captured the whole experience with pictures and send them to you. This is very worth your time and support.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was educational for the whole family. The experience was unique, and we were there for a couple of hours. We brought two younger kids who had a great time. We would for sure recommend it.
