Very nice experience. Unforgotable :) it was for first time that we had chance to see turtled innthe wild territory. Thak you very much!

Absolute awe inspiring turtle trip. Very professional service and a knowledgeable guide in Leo. Initially before the excursion I feared we may be intruding on what should be a natural and stress free experience for the turtle. However minimising the impact we humans make and ensuring conservation is at the heart of the experience quelled any fears. Witnessing something so majestic, in close proximity, was a once in a lifetime experience. To see a turtle lay their eggs, cover them and return to the ocean was majestic.I highly recommend this trip/company to anyone visiting Cape Verde. It really excelled all expectations!

Amazing experience, well organised with very knowledgeable guide, extremely good service and a fantastic experience to see loggerhead turtle eggs laid! Beautiful night on Sal beach 5*****

The adults only turtle watching was a great experience, the guide, Kenny, was very educational and gave us all the information we should know about the turtles and how we should respect them, he was helpful, and the overall egg laying was amazing and not something everyone can tell you they have done. *please listen to the guidelines when they say to wear black*

Great experience! Very friendly and available guide and well organized visit. An experience to repeat!

Fantastic. It's dark and you use infrared, but what a thrill walking in the dark, spotting a turtle lay their eggs. Magical stuff if you are an animal lover. Most people were respectful and keeping their distance, but there is always one!!

Marta was so helpful in booking a shark paddling experience and snorkelling, it would’ve been great to see the turtles nesting/hatching too had we been in the right season - but snorkelling with them was an experience of a lifetime! Thank you

Great experience. Something I’ll never forget. Remember to take a jumper, you may need it as the wind was relentless.

We were met by a very knowledgeable guide who gave us a detailed brief about the turtles and how we needed to behave when near them. We then walked a short distance along the beach before seeing the first turtle leave the water. We sat and watched her lay her eggs before covering g them up. During this time 2 other turtles came onto the beach nearby and then we saw 2 more as we returned to the base camp. There was no hurrying us to stick to the suggested time, we had to fit with the turtles so our scheduled 2 hour trip lasted nearer 4 hours. This was an amazing experience.

Great location at Sierra Negra with plenty of turtles and no people. Well organised, informative and friendly team. Check out the stars and planets overhead too while on the beach. Amazing skyscape.

Absolutely loved it very good service and great to see these beautiful creatures. Saw the loggerhead turtle and rescued some baby ones which had just hatched up through the sand and got their heads stuck in a plastic bag , untangled them and popped them back on the sand and off they went into the ocean to hopefully return in 17 years to lay their eggs. Marta and her staff were very informative and what I liked was she only took out small groups . Would definitely recommend 🐢

Went last week, the guide was a marine biologist who had a significant knowledge of turtles and had previously worked as one of the rangers. We went to a fairly remote part of the beach where we were given a full explanation of the turtle egg laying process. We were told that patience would be the key. It did take quite a while for a turtle to appear. Our guide along with the rangers ensured that we could all see everything whilst not disturbing the turtle. From start to finish the trip lasted a little short of 3 hours. Guide was excellent both in his knowledge and being able to explain in simple terms. The only down side was that due to a little rain the day before there were mosquitos and most of the group got bitten. All in all it was a wonderful experience and I’d highly recommend it.

Wow what an absolutely wonderful experience this is! Wasn't 100% sure as to what we would actually see but what we did see was truly amazing! First of all Marta and her team (didn't quite catch their names sorry!) gave a wonderful and very interesting talk all about the turtles and their lives. Then we went looking on the beach for nesting turtles and in a very short time we saw one. Camouflaging her nest. We were so close and it was just lovely to watch. Then we found one that was laying her eggs. To get right up close to witness this without her realising (due to using infra red light) and knowing that we wasn't disturbing her, was an amazing thing to witness. When she had finished, watched her go off to see was beautiful. I loved everything second of this trip and if you love nature, it comes very highly recommended. Thank you to Marta and her team for such a special trip that I will cherish them memories for a very long time xxx

A superb experience! We thoroughly enjoyed our night visit to the beach to observe the turtles laying eggs. The trip was fantastic and the guides super helpful.

There is always a dilemma when considering this type of excursion; to see nature as it should be, but not to impact on it. I’m glad to say that Marta (& Alex) were exemplary, although we managed to get really close and personal we were properly briefed and managed (in the best way). After an off road ride to the beach, Marta gave us a glimpse into the life of the loggerhead turtle and explained what we were hoping to see and importantly, how to behave. Using red light so that we didn’t impact on the wildlife, our small group of 10 moved out across the beach, along the shoreline. There was a half moon and a clear sky, so no lights were needed and just to walk along in the moonlight watching the waves roll in was fab. There was plenty of evidence of previous turtle activity and it wasn’t long before we had our first sighting. It was humbling to see these ancient creatures move up and down the beach and although we didn’t get to see egg laying, we did experience arrival, camouflaging and departing. At all times we were controlled so that we didn’t impact on this wonderful activity but were still able to be involved and better understand what we were witnessing. I booked this through Viator and had the usual flawless service; Marta kept me informed and updated as needed. She was knowledgeable, passionate and professional, if you can get Marta (& Alex) you can be assured that you will get an experience you will remember, whilst protecting this wonderful spectacle.
