Nighttime turtle sighting in Riviera Maya

Do you like turtles and want to know more about their life? We invite you to witness first-row their sighting on the virgin Mexican beaches, being the favorites of six of the seven species that live and nest in the Riviera Maya.

The tour begins at 9:15 p.m. in the beautiful and large garden of Xpu-Há, where the guide will give information about the tour, care that must be taken to not scare away the turtles and that wait.

We will walk along the beach under the moonlight in search of loggerhead turtles or green sea turtles and we will witness how they build and protect the nest and then return to the sea; The birth of turtles occurs between 45 and 60 days later.

The sighting takes place mainly between the months of June and September although if you are lucky you may catch it outside of this season.

We must protect the turtles that are in danger of extinction, so we are building a beach and Project Night helps protect them from predators and illegal extractions, for this nest monitoring is carried out in In case of danger, the eggs are relocated and new nests are built, they also ensure the safe release of baby turtles into the ocean.
