Description
Experience a truly magical evening and witness one of nature's oldest rituals on this sustainable sea turtle watching excursion. Cape Verde is one of the most important nesting sites in the world for the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), and this trip offers you the unique opportunity to see these majestic animals up close.
Your adventure begins with a pick-up service directly from your accommodation. You'll travel in a comfortable vehicle to a secluded, unspoiled beach carefully selected by our teams. Along the way, your certified guide will share fascinating facts about the evolution, biology and conservation challenges that these creatures face.
When you arrive at the beach, you'll take part in a short briefing on the essential rules of conduct to protect the animals' welfare. Then, under a densely star-studded African sky, you'll walk along the sand in small groups, waiting patiently for the moment when the turtles emerge from the ocean.
When a turtle is spotted, you will approach in absolute silence. With the help of specialized red-light gear that doesn't disturb or disorient the animal, you'll be able to observe the impressive nesting process up close. It's an exciting experience that combines the grandeur of wildlife with strict respect for the environment. After the ritual, you will see the turtle camouflage the nest and calmly return to the sea.
