Baby Sea Turtle Release in Playa San Blas
Between the months of August and December, the sea turtle eggs that have been buried in the protective nurseries along the coast begin to hatch. These baby turtles will be released on to the beach to begin their incredible ocean journey—it might take between 11-30 years before the female turtles return to this exact beach to lay their eggs!
Share this awesome experience of releasing a baby sea turtle with your friends and family! Sea turtles are now in endanger of extincion and participating in conservation tourism contributes to local efforts to protect the Earth and its wonders.
Sea Turtle Release season is August to December.
