Turtle Watching Tour – Pacific Green Sea Turtles

Join us for an unforgettable Turtle Watching Tour to witness one of nature’s most incredible spectacles: the nesting of the Pacific Green Sea Turtle, the second-largest sea turtle in the world (after the Leatherback).

This tour runs from October through April, when these majestic creatures return to the shores to lay their eggs. We visit a secluded beach north of Tamarindo, in the Matapalo de Santa Cruz area, home to six nesting beaches, five with public access and one private.

Spend approximately 40 minutes at the beach, immersed in the beauty of this natural event. The entire experience lasts about 3 hours, depending on the nesting process you observe (arrival, nesting, or egg-laying).
