Step by Step
Enjoy a sea turtle sighting at night in Santa Maria and live a unique natural experience where you will get to know these amazing creatures in depth.
Together with an expert guide you will head to the beach to witness the memorable moment with the turtles. Beforehand you will receive a briefing where you will be explained details about these fascinating animals and how to behave cautiously on the beach.
It is important to be patient and cautious, so that the turtles feel safe on the beach. You will have the opportunity to see how the turtle comes out of the ocean and carefully walks along the coast.
The guide will explain the process the turtle goes through, from finding the ideal nesting site to preparing the ground and starting to dig. If the ground is not suitable, it will look for a more suitable place to lay its eggs, which number between 65 and 100.
When the turtle is finished, it covers the hole to camouflage it and returns to its marine habitat. You will be able to witness such a wonderful natural event!
Travel comfortably on the shuttle to and from your hotel in Santa Maria. You will live a complete experience from start to finish.
