Turtle Night Tour $30 (March 15th-October 31st)
Witness one of the most incredible creatures, sea turtles, as they climb out of the ocean and lay their eggs on the beach.
On a typical sea turtle tour, visitors are led to a spot on the beach where a sea turtle is digging a hole (a foot or two deep) with her hind flippers after pulling herself out of the pounding surf and up the sand. The turtle then starts filling the nest with soft-shelled eggs (the size of table tennis balls). After laying her eggs, she refills the nest with sand and heads back into the ocean. The whole process takes 30 to 60 minutes.
The Green sea turtle, one of the park’s most famous visitors, has existed for over 200 million years and can weigh over 200 pounds. These endangered species nests in Tortuguero from July to October. Although less common, the Leatherback, Hawksbill and Loggerhead turtles also arrive to make their nests and lay eggs between March and October (Leatherbacks: March to June).
Take a memorable experience with this turtle night tour!
