Guanacaste Turtle Nesting Tour is a great experience for all the family, you will learn about these amazing animals and how can you help in their conservation. In Guanacaste, you can find some of the best places in the world for Turtle Nesting. Guanacaste Turtle Nesting is a great opportunity to observe one of the natural marvels in the world.
Ostional Turtle Nesting Tour will take you to witness some of the biggest Olive Ridley Turtle arrivals. The best season is between the months of August through December, especially during the week before the new moon. Here you can see thousands of turtles nesting on the big arrivals at the same time laying their eggs on the white sand volcanic beach of Ostional.
Guanacaste Turtle Nesting departs in the afternoon as turtles came out late during the sunset time, around 6.00 or 7.00 pm, until late at night. But we are allowed to stay in the park for 2 hours. The turtles generally ride in on the high tide at A MRnight but during an arribada, they start arriving soon after sunset and keep coming until 6.00 am the next morning.
It is possible to see turtles during the months of the dry season but not in the number that comes out during the rainy season months. Also together the Santa Rosa National Park is considering the most important site in the world for turtle nesting around the world.
Access to the area can be complicated during the rainy season as the levels of the river increase and the access will be blocked. Please check with our travel experts about the access and timing for the arribada.
