Turtle Nesting Corozalito

About this tour

IT IS SUCH A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE WHY WE INVITE YOU TO EXPERIENCE IT!

Participating in a turtle nesting tour in Corozalito, Guanacaste, Costa Rica offers a truly exceptional encounter with nature’s wonders. Witnessing turtles lay their eggs is an experience like no other, and the sight becomes even more mesmerizing as the beach is filled with an abundance of turtles, creating a captivating scene that’s hard to put into words. Unlike a fixed schedule, these arrivals usually grace the shores during a specific window of just 3 days each month, determined by the tides and the moon’s phase. The turtles themselves dictate the exact timing, making the experience all the more mysterious and thrilling.

A remarkable aspect of these turtles is their unwavering connection to their birthplace, where they return to lay their eggs. This profound cycle adds a deep layer of significance to the encounter. Depending on the timing, dedicated guides, who are committed to ensuring an unforgettable turtle experience, will accompany you to either the Ostional refuge, known for arrivals, or the Camaronal refuge, a popular alternative. While Camaronal may not witness the grand arrivals, it offers a chance to witness turtles, even in smaller numbers, and possibly catch a glimpse of newborn hatchlings. This tour promises an intimate connection with Costa Rica’s astounding biodiversity and showcases the extraordinary wonder of these ancient creatures.
