In our night or early morning expedition, we will take you to the Las Baulas National Marine Park in Playa Grande, where for thousands of years, the leatherback turtles that hatched in Playa Grande have returned to lay their eggs. Leatherback turtles are the largest marine turtles in the world, weighing approximately 1.20.0 pounds and almost 8 feet long, and one of the most endangered. Follow our knowledgeable guides around Playa Grande where you can see some of the turtles disembark to lay their eggs - up to 75 of them!   The area is home to the second largest nesting location in the world for leatherback turtles. Because of this, the area is heavily regulated to protect the habitat. Nesting seasons are typically between October and February. This is a wonderful opportunity to take the family out to see one of Costa Rica's most memorable experiences.  

Seeing Green Olive Ridley turtles nesting or watching their eggs hatching in their natural environment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you simply cannot miss. Follow our knowledgeable guides around Playa Ostional where you may get a chance to watch turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. The number of turtles you may see can be simply breathtaking but please don't disturb them.    As they come out of the Pacific Ocean and make their way up the beach to their nesting areas they can get very tired and it is also important not to help the baby turtles reach the ocean once they have hatched. Sea turtles imprint on the sand in which they were hatched and oils from your skin can interfere with this process. On this tour sit back and relax and enjoy the view of the annual turtle migration.
