A unique seasonal excursion on Sal island — from July to November only.
We set out at night, between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM, the moment when the mamas — the big turtles — come out of the sea to lay their eggs on the coastal beaches.
ITINERARY:
1. Hotel pickup around 7:30 PM
2. Trip to a nesting beach (sites change to respect nesting)
3. Silent walk on the sand, respectful observation
4. Guide explains the life cycle, threats and protection
5. Return around 10:00 PM
Red lamp provided (doesn’t blind the turtles). Flash photography strictly forbidden.
A moving experience to share with the family.
