Get ready for a magical evening in Boa Vista, where the starry skies and soft waves set the stage for one of nature’s most awe-inspiring events: watching an endangered Caretta Caretta turtle nesting on the beach. This unforgettable experience begins with a convenient hotel pickup and a short transfer—just 10 to 30 minutes depending on your location—to Pesqueiro Grande, one of the island’s most important nesting beaches.
As you journey to the beach, your knowledgeable guide will share captivating insights about the Caretta Caretta turtles, their life cycle, and the vital role Boa Vista plays in their survival. Moreover, you’ll learn about the challenges these gentle creatures face and the simple, eco-conscious steps we take to protect them, ensuring this incredible species thrives for generations to come.
Arriving at the beach, the real magic begins. Under the guidance of our experienced team, you’ll witness a scene worthy of a nature documentary: a turtle slowly emerging from the ocean, meticulously preparing her nest, and laying her eggs in the warm sands. Meanwhile, our guides ensure you’re positioned to observe this delicate process respectfully and safely, adhering to strict guidelines to minimize disturbance.
The Caretta Caretta turtles, also known as loggerheads, are true ocean wanderers, traveling thousands of miles to return to the very place where they were born. Watching their nesting ritual up close is not just a spectacle—it’s a humbling reminder of the interconnectedness of life.
Perfect for nature lovers, Turtle Watching in Boa Vista offers an exclusive glimpse into the island’s ecosystem. Join us for an evening that will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the wonders of our natural world.

Yes, but only without flash. Our guides will shine a red light to make it more visible.
Anyway, we personally recommend to enjoy the moment in person rather than through a display.
Turtle comes to nest only after dark. For this reason the tour has to be at night, usually beginning at 20.00
No, the Turtle Season usually goes from the beginning of July to the middle/end of October. The excursions are normally organized in the period with high possibility to see them
Of course! Our tour is family-friendly and an amazing experience for everyone, regardless of their age
No. Being nature, we cannot guarantee to see the Turtle.
However, we only start doing the excursion when the season has already started and we finish before reaching the end, and this gives us a success rate of almost 100%.
