Sea Turtles Family Pack

Begin the adventure with a hatchling release starting at 17:15 at an incubation center in the northern area, which could be in Morro Peixe, Micolo, or Fernão Dias. Witness the magical moment as the baby turtles make their way to the ocean.

After the release, we’ll head to Nina’s for dinner around 18:30, where we’ll complete the evening briefing. Since we have already visited the incubation center, this will give us more time to discuss the sea turtles' journey and conservation efforts in a relaxed setting over a delicious meal.

After dinner, we will proceed to the beach for a night patrol, where you can experience the peaceful beauty of the beach under the stars.

  • Start: 17:15 in the North (or 16:45 in the capital)
  • End: 22:00 in the Capital (latest)
  • Dinner: Included (upgrades available at Residencial Tamarindos)
Please wait...

The activity begins around 5:00 p.m. at an Incubation Center in the northern area and concludes by approximately 9:30 p.m., ensuring you’re back at your hotel early.

Note: The order of activities may vary based on recommendations from our local partners.
