Turtle Release + Laguna de Manialtepec Evening Tour
After picking you up from your hotel at the scheduled time, we will travel for 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach the turtle camp on the Oaxacan coast, dedicated to the protection of sea turtles.
You will experience freeing recently hatched turtles, with three native turtle species in danger of extinction. This moment at sunset on a beach is significant and memorable.
Next, we will visit Manialtepec Lagoon, where the second experience awaits. You will board a boat on the lagoon to 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 spectacle akin to shooting stars beneath the sea. You may swim in the lagoon and see your body illuminated by these organisms.
The tour concludes back at your hotel in Huatulco nine hours after departure.
