Turtle Release + Laguna de Manialtepec Evening Tour

This tour begins with hotel pickup at the scheduled time, followed by a 2-hour and 30-minute drive to the turtle camp located on the Oaxacan coast, dedicated to sea turtle protection.

At the turtle camp, you will participate in freeing recently hatched turtles. This area is home to three types of endangered turtles native to Oaxaca, giving you the chance to assist in their conservation efforts. The experience culminates at sunset on a scenic beach, creating a lasting memory.

Following the turtle release, the tour continues to Manialtepec Lagoon, one of the key attractions in Puerto Escondido. Here, you will board a boat to explore the lagoon and witness the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence.

This phenomenon, caused by microorganisms in the water, emits light when disturbed, creating an enchanting display reminiscent of shooting stars beneath the sea. You will have the opportunity to swim in the lagoon and see your body illuminated by these organisms.

The tour concludes with a return to your hotel in Huatulco nine hours after departure.
