Know before you book

  • Public transport options are available nearby
  • Specialised infant seats are available
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Wear dark coloured clothes and comfortable walking shoes.
  • Expert guides who will offer you a unique and environmentally conscious experience for turtles and visitors alike.
  • The observation of nesting depends on environmental factors and is not guaranteed. However, in the last 5 years, the success rate has been 100%.
  • It is necessary to be physically fit to walk.
  • We provide lights that allow you to take photos and make videos. Photos/videos with flash and white lights are not allowed.
  • People under the effect of alcohol cannot participate in order not to disturb the natural habitat of sea turtles.
  • To ensure a safe and respectful experience for both you and the turtles, remember to wear dark clothes and comfortable, closed shoes when observing them, especially at night. Why dark clothes? Light or bright colours can scare and disorient turtles, especially puppies. When wearing black, dark brown, dark green, dark blue, dark grey or other dark shades, it helps us minimise disturbances and mix with the environment.

To ensure the safety and well-being of the turtles, in accordance with the new guidelines of the Ministry of the Environment, the activity time is variable and can occur between 19:30 and 22:30 depending on the conditions of the day and the regulations.
