Turtle SOS

Turtle Walks

Guided walks to see nesting turtles are organised almost every night. You can join our Rangers and watch as they collect data and tag turtles. You may even see them relocating the nest to the hatchery! The walks are approximately two hours in duration (about 3km). Places are limited so it is essential to book in advance. Suggested minimum donation €20.

Turtle Hatchery Visits

Visits to the hatchery (on the beach outside the Riu Hotel) are free of charge and a Ranger is on duty every morning from 10am - 12 noon. Early risers may see nests being relocated (approximately 8am - 9am).

Tel: +238 974 5020, email info@sostartarugas.org or talk to one of our Rangers.
