Sea Turtle Experience

Sea turtle watching in Boa Vista

Boa Vista is a remarkable natural sanctuary, known for its pristine beaches, turquoise waters and essential role in protecting sea turtles. The island is home to one of the world's largest populations of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), which return every year to lay their eggs.

Nesting season: From June to October, when night falls over the island, females emerge from the ocean and make their way onto the sandy beaches. In an ancient ritual, they patiently dig their nests and lay hundreds of eggs, continuing the cycle of life.

Respectful guided visits: We organise unique night excursions with specialist guides trained in sea-turtle protection. These visits allow you to witness this fascinating spectacle respectfully while minimising the impact on these vulnerable animals.

An unforgettable experience: Watching a sea turtle lay her eggs is a rare and moving experience, creating a powerful connection with nature and raising awareness of the importance of conservation. By joining these tours, you contribute directly to local efforts to protect these iconic animals and preserve Boa Vista's beaches.
