Releasing baby turtles tour in Juan Venado Island
Description
This adventure start in Las Peñitas community. We will wait for you in the Visitor Center, or we will meet you in any meeting point within Las Peñitas (please, indicate that in the comment box during your online booking process). From the Visitors Center, we will take a boat and travel to the reserve. For around 20 minutes we will watch several species of bird, including grey heron and tricolored heron.
After a boat travel of 30 minutes, we will land in a rustic pier in Juan Venado reserve. We will come to the Palo de Oro Project center, where a sea turtle nursery is set. In the center, our guide will explain the conservation work performed there, and will talk about the sea turtles nesting in the reserve.
Sunset will indicate the releasing moment. You will help us by taking baby turtles in your hands, and releasing them in the beach sand. You will sea these cute and fragile reptiles in a desperate run to the waves. When the last baby turtles has gone into the ocean, we will walk back to the boat, and then come back to the visitor center, where the tour will be finished.
