A natural spectacle on the south coast

5.00Very worthwhile night trip to the south coast in the middle of a guarded nature reserve on the edge of moonlit dunes. Arrived after just a few minutes we found it and could observe the laying of eggs of a magnificent fake cartreto turtle very close for a good 30 minutes until closing the breeding ground under expert direction (and great red lighting). A must-see experience, especially as it was perfectly organized by Rotcha Tours (Anita and our safe 4x4 driver who is open to all questions).
Amazing experience

5.00This was a wonderful and amazing tour. Fabian and Bernardo were very kind and helpful. The whole tour was conducted with the utmost respect to the turtles and their environment. We saw an adult turtle lay her eggs and then go back to the sea and saw a bunch of baby turtles emerging from a nest.
A definite MUST!!!

5.00Turtle watching is by far the most beautiful experience you can have in Boa Vista. We were a small group of about 8 people. The tour took us to the east coast after about 45 minutes. Once on the beach, you have to wait.As soon as a spotter has spotted a turtle, he passes this on by walkie talkie to the guide, who slowly and quietly leads you to the turtle. In addition to laying eggs, we are also expected to save about 40 babies, for whom we have made it possible to go to sea. Now you hopefully swim somewhere with Nemo and Dorie❤ Thank you Anita for this great experience and the excellent organization!
Outstanding!! Once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Absolutely amazing.. the best experience ever. We cannot thank Emanuel and his friend enough for the wonderful service. Starts off with driving on the back of a pickup, in the evening, with the moon and the stars around you, driving through the sand and with tranquility surrounding you. Then the guys found turtles hatching and we saved them by setting them free in the sea. We could do it all over and over again. Outstanding. Thank you so much!!
Great customer service

5.00Sadly we couldn’t actually do the trip as had to cancel same day due to illness but Aneta was amazing offered to just take my daughter (adult) for me as well so she wouldn’t miss it although she decided not to, and she then arranged a partial refund even though we weren’t entitled to one
Simply the absolute hammer

5.00It was absolutely amazing. We really experienced everything that evening, we were able to see the turtle, the laying of eggs, carry little babies into the sea, the fake enclosures and the original enclosures. Wonderful pictures. Wonderful hours
Sensational excursion

5.00A sensational natural spectacle that you have to see if you are on Boa Vista during the said period. During the trip we were able to observe the genius of nature and Anita and her team rounded off this trip and made it unforgettable for us. The pick-up was on time and the adventurous trip was carried out very safely. We felt comfortable and safe at all times. A unique experience, and not just for the kids. It is particularly worth mentioning that Anita was still approachable after the trip and was happy to give information. Super great. Rocha Tours is recommended in ANY CASE.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

5.00So easy from start to finish! The trip lasted around 4 hours from promptly being picked up from the hotel! Seeing the turtles was amazing and made our holiday extra special! Anita and Emanuel were excellent guides, informative, welcoming and kept us safe! Can’t recommend enough!! The trip by open back truck was bumpy at times also but so much fun! Thanks
Unique and magical experience

5.00Amazing and unique experience. There's something of a primordial magic in seeing these creatures slowly but carefully digging and placing the eggs, then covering up and retreating to the ocean. Highly recommended.
