“This is one of those activities that you need to experience. We were picked up from the hotel on time and taken to a secluded beach. After waiting around for over an hour whilst the guides looked for activity we finally saw some baby turtles emerging from the sand and scurrying towards the sea. This was followed by a turtle emerging from the sea to lay her eggs. We were allowed to get up close and experience this wonderful act of nature. After the turtle had returned to the sea we were lucky enough to experience another hatching. This was a great experience and highly recommended”
