4.00Beautiful experience, discovery of turtle laying, the guide was too many, explanation in French, he immediately found a spot with turtles (we see the habit), after waiting in the 4x4 for the turtle to make its hole, he brought us on the beach, another group it is joined with us, more numerous than ours (this is the negative of this experience) so we were around a lot and the vision was a little spoiled by paparazzi of all kinds. But it was a beautiful discovery Thank you 🙏
Amazing.
