Frequently Asked Questions

Sea Turtle Tour

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%.
