This tour is only offered between Nov - Jan each year and operates according to the Leatherback Turtles schedule; long waits until the turtles appear are sometimes common. This tour begins as you enter the Playa Grande National Park. You will be welcomed by your guide and they will explain about the turtles and their nesting habits. Clients wait at the park entrance until turtles begin to arrive. At that time a host radios the station and groups of no more than 10 at a time are transferred to the different stations where the turtles are arriving. Customers are then escorted onto the beach where they can view the turtles as they nest. This turtle is the largest living turtle in the world and can reach over 8ft in length. These turtles are an amazing phenomenon and are endangered worldwide. Conservation projects such as this park play a very important role in their lives. Leatherback Turtles come back to nest in the same exact location where they were born. Please understand there are no guarantees you will see turtles, but you will definitely be in the right place at the right time. This tours in operated only from Oct. 20 thru Feb. 15 of each year.
