Itinerary
The Cape Verde Islands represent the 3rd most preferred place in the world for caretta turtles, so make the most of your stay on the island and join us for this unique experience.
Your guide will pick you up from your hotel at the end of the day and head to a very deserted and quiet beach to meet the sea turtles.
Upon arriving at the beach, we will immediately hold a briefing to inform you on how to behave around the sea turtles.
We will ensure all ecological security measures for the turtles and for our guests.
The moment the turtles come out of the water is a magical moment, in a slow movement they approach the calmest areas where the sea does not reach to bury their eggs in the sand there, and then they return to the ocean.
after we finish our experience we will leave you safe at your hotel.

The trip was amazing! António was really knowledgeable and knew just were to look - we saw an unbelievable amount of baby turtles and a mother laying eggs! We helped the babies go towards the ocean safely and give them the best start in life. You see them under special red lights so you don't confuse or bother them. Obviously wait times to see a turtle vary as nature is unpredictable but we only waited about 20 seconds before our first viewing. One guide would go and search while we waited under the stars. The road out is a bit bumpy but that's unavoidable when you're going into these remote areas. The group we went with was quite small too which was good. A once in a lifetime experience !Izzy_S

Amazing! Way better than other companies as the groups are smaller. We saw a turtle laying eggs and loads and loads of baby turtles.

Amazing! Way better than other companies as the groups are smaller. We saw a turtle laying eggs and loads and loads of baby turtles. The drive over is bumpy (half of it is on sand rather than roads) but the drive through the towns is nice. You arrive, one guy goes off a searches for turtles and once he finds some they radio your guide and you go over. Obviously how long you have to wait is anyone's guess but they are great at spotting them! We helped the babies find their way to the sea and made sure they all swam off safely. A once in a lifetime experience!
