Turtle Nesting Tour
Overview
Available languages
4 hours
Mobile ticket
Seeing turtles lay their eggs is a truly unforgettable experience, and Corozalito offers a more serene and intimate setting to witness it. While massive arrivals may occasionally occur, they are rare—what makes Corozalito special is its more consistent turtle activity throughout the season.
Turtles always return to the same beach where they were born to nest, which makes each sighting even more meaningful. Depending on the timing, local guides will do everything possible to help you observe this incredible natural event. You may see nesting turtles, and if you're lucky, even witness hatchlings making their first journey to the ocean.

Egg laying and extraordinary turtle birth

5.00it was an extraordinary experience, we were lucky to have a turtle that laid more than a hundred eggs, and at the same time the birth, so many baby turtles that we protected from predators until the beach. Unique experience.
Once in a Lifetime experience

5.00How incredibly lucky we were to experience the first day of the Arribada! So many turtles were nesting this night on the beach and coming in to shore every few minutes. We got to be with our turtle from the time she started digging her nest, layed her eggs, covered them, and made her way back to the ocean. It was incredible to witness such an important part of the life cycle of turtles. We also saw baby sea turtles hatching and making their way to the ocean. ❤️💕 Our guide Luis was so knowledgeable, funny, and an absolute joy to be around. My family will remember this experience forever.
Action packed tour.

5.00Our family of 4 had the opportunity to do the turtle nesting tour. This tour is at night (7pm) because that is when the turtles go on the beach to nest (or super early, which didn’t work for us). The tour was amazing! It was just us and our guide, Luis. He was very knowledgeable and answered ALL our questions. Being a small group allowed us to get very close to the turtle. We were super lucky because we immediately got to see a turtle nesting, lay her eggs and then walk back to the sea. It was definitely magical!
Full moon walk on the beach - beautiful

5.00Maria helped us book a turtle tour, a horseback riding tour, and a coffee tour. All 3 were exceptional. Maria responded very quickly and arranged every detail. Each guide was knowledgeable as well as pleasant and kind. I was astounded at how much we learned while having the time of our lives. I would recommend everyone to use Maria to make your trip wonderful. She is the best!
