On this nocturnal sea turtle-watching activity on the island of Sal, we'll explore a deserted Cape Verde beach to observe these reptiles nesting at night.
Description
After sunset, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Maria and take you to a beach populated by Cape Verde loggerhead turtles, the most common species on Sal. With your guide, you'll learn to enjoy the experience while respecting the natural environment of these creatures. You'll observe the turtles as they nest in the sand or head out to sea while walking in small groups along the beach to minimize disturbance. Infrared lamps will be provided to take pictures at night. After this experience, we'll return to your hotel, arriving approximately 2 hours after pickup.
Pickup
Pickup is included at hotels or tourist apartments in Espargos, Santa Maria, and Murdeira.
Things to keep in mind
The best time to see turtles on the beach is between May and October. However, sightings may vary due to weather conditions and breeding seasons.
