Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Playa Mina, Playa Conchal Costa Rica

We’ll pick you up from your location in Tamarindo before driving approximately 17 miles / 25km or 40 minutes through scenic tracks to a hidden beach, close to the beautiful Playa Minas. Once parked, the turtle nesting beach is only accessible via a 10-15 minute walk. As the beach is inaccessible by car it remains dark and undisturbed for nesting sea turtles. This is why they choose to nest on this beach.

On reaching the beach we’ll walk looking for turtle tracks, which will lead us to where the turtles are making their nests. We’ll then sit facing the back of the turtle. observe them deposit their eggs and return to the water; a truly unforgettable experience!

It is possible to see more than one kind of turtle; including the green, black, olive ridley and if we’re lucky the leatherbacks too.

We respect the turtles at all times by closely following rules laid out by the government conservation authorities so as not to be noticed by the turtles while observing them very closely.

We’ll spend approximately an hour on the beach before returning to drop you off at your location in Tamarindo.

Minimum 2 bookings are needed for the tour to operate.
