Turtle Release + Laguna de Manialtepec Evening Tour
After picking you up from your hotel at the scheduled time, we'll travel to Puerto Escondido. The journey takes 2 hours and 30 minutes to arrive at the turtle camp located on the Oaxacan coast, dedicated to the protection of sea turtles.
Here, you'll participate in freeing recently hatched turtles, including three endangered native species of Oaxaca. This event occurs at sunset on a beach, creating a memorable moment.
Next, we will visit Manialtepec Lagoon, where the second experience awaits. You will board a boat to explore the lagoon and witness the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence.
This phenomenon occurs due to microorganisms in the water that emit light upon contact with moving objects, creating a unique spectacle. You can swim in the lagoon and see your body illuminated by these organisms.
Our tour concludes back at your hotel in Huatulco nine hours after departure.
