On this nocturnal sea turtle-watching activity on the island of Sal we'll explore a deserted Cape Verde beach to observe these reptiles nesting at night - an unforgettable experience!
At the appointed time, once the sun has set, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Maria. From here we'll take you to a beach that is populated by Cape Verde loggerhead turtles, the most common reptile species on the island of Sal.
With the help of your guide, who will show you how to enjoy the experience whilst respecting the natural environment of these majestic creatures, we'll see the turtles as they nest in the sand or head out to sea.
We'll walk in small groups along the beach, so as not to disturb these reptiles as they peek out from time to time to glide over the sand.
You'll be amazed by their slow movements and you'll learn all about how these fascinating creatures breed and reproduce. There's no need to worry about it being too dark to see the turtles as we'll provide you with infrared lamps to take pictures at night.
After this breathtaking experience of seeing sea turtles at night, we'll take you back to your hotel, where we'll arrive 2 hours after pickup.
This activity will start at 7:15 pm or 9:30 pm. The time depends on the local authorities, so we'll let you know the exact time on the day of the experience.
Pickup is included in hotels or tourist apartments located in the center of the following tourist towns on the island of Sal: Espargos, Santa Maria, and Murdeira.
In addition, pickup is also included from other hotels in these towns that are located further on the outskirts: RIU, New Horizon, Robinson, Hilton, Tropical, Salinas, Belorizonte, Ouril Pontão, Halos, Moradias DjadSal, Meliá, and Vila Verde.
The best time to see turtles on the beach is usually between May and October. However, the animals are unpredictable. The sighting of a greater or lesser number of turtles may depend on various factors, such as the weather at the time or the reproduction and breeding seasons.
Please remember that during the turtle watching, you'll have to be completely silent so as not to disturb the animals.
You can book up to 3 hours in advance if there are any seats left. Book now and guarantee your spot.
