We’ll collect you from your hotel in Sámara or Carrillo Town and transfer you in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle toward the nesting refuge.

Upon arrival at Ostional or Camaronal Refuge, your guide will provide a brief talk on olive ridley biology, nesting behavior, and the importance of conservation measures.

Under red-light illumination, quietly follow your guide onto the beach. Watch as turtles excavate their nests and deposit eggs—an ancient ritual that has endured for millennia. During non-arrival days, explore the refuge’s protected areas to spot nesting females, hatchlings, and other marine life.

Mid-tour, enjoy light refreshments—tropical fruit and bottled water—while discussing turtle ecology, local conservation initiatives, and how you can help protect these remarkable creatures.

After your beachside experience, board the vehicle for the drive back to your hotel, arriving by late evening with unforgettable insights into Costa Rica’s coastal wonders.
