Experience the Sea Turtle Release in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

At the assigned time, our team will pick you up from your accommodation in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, and we will proceed to the sanctuary dedicated to sea turtles located in the northern part of the area.

Upon our arrival, you will gain insights into the life cycle of sea turtles. We will discuss the various hazards these animals face that have led to their endangered status, alongside the critical nature of conservation efforts aimed at safeguarding other marine species from disappearing.

Following this, we will uncover the process of collecting and safeguarding their eggs, as well as the methods used to nurture the hatchlings, ensuring they grow robustly and adapt successfully to their natural habitat. Remarkably, these creatures have been inhabiting the Earth for more than 100 million years!

Subsequently, we will gently remove several baby sea turtles from their nest and place them in containers to allow them time to acclimate. Once they are active, we will carry them to the beach for their release, watching as they embark on their voyage into the sea.

After witnessing the turtles begin their journey, we will return to Zihuatanejo and drop you off at your hotel approximately four hours after our initial departure.
