The experience was lovely, turtles were very cute! We had high expectations from all of the reviews and were left a little disappointed. The whole experience lasted around ten minutes, while beautiful - very short.

We got a taxi from Puerto Escondido and didn't realise we needed our taxi driver to stay to take us and the guide to the beach, wait, and take us home. Luckily he knew the drill and waited but would have been great for the tourist centre to outline this beforehand.

Secondly, our guide didn't speak any English at all - while I absolutely don't expect everyone to speak English we struggled to communicate (I can speak some Spanish but not enough vocabulary to understand the process of turtles hatching!). I think if the centre is aiming to attract tourists it wouldn't hurt to check upon booking if a Spanish tour guide is OK.

When we were on the beach the guide quickly gave up trying to communicate and we were given a bowl of turtles each and told not to touch them, and gestured to put the bowl on the floor to let them go to sea. I think what we were missing was the explanation of the work the centre does and the process, which I have read about online and know is very important.

All in all, a very expensive taxi journey for ten mins taking the turtles to the sea. Would check if there's an English speaking guide if you aren't fluent in Spanish...

No lo recomiendo si no vas a tomarte una foto, es decir, es algo que va a ser para tus redes, pero la experiencia en sí no es algo placentera Todo está preparado para ganar dinero, no tiene nada que ver con la naturaleza Ese día habíamos como 200 personas y cada boleto cuesta 200 así que son 40 mil pesos que dejan los turistas diariamente imaginemos que en promedio es la mitad son 20 mil pesos diarios hablamos de 600 mil pesos por mes lo que se recauda Y no que esté mal, qué bueno que se recaudará ese dinero para hacer un santuario hermoso, pues no es así, una cabaña con unos tipos establos o lugares para nidos con malla sombra, con menos de lo que ganan en un mes pueden hacer eso sin problema

No hay señalizaciones al menos muchas ya que no vi ninguna donde indique al menos el proceso Pero yo se los detallo, llegas y agarra sombra donde puedas, estarás dependiendo de la hora en la que llegues, te recomiendo llegar media hora antes del atardecer, en nuestro caso estuvimos 1 hora y media esperando sin que alguien te comentara como es el proceso Tal vez digan, es una asociación que ayuda a los animales, no tienen porque preocuparse por ti, estaría de acuerdo si no se viera como lo que es, un negocio Así que busca una sombra, si puedes llévate sillas plegables y una sombrilla por si no encuentras algún lugar para esperar

Una vez que ellos piensan que ya es hora simplemente llegan y tú sabes que es la hora porque la gente se empieza a arremolinar en la cabaña para pagar, no sé si los muchachos que están ahí reciben un salario porque la mayoría si no les haces fiesta están con una cara de pocos amigos, total ya pagas y te ponen un sello de una tortuga, eso indica que ya pagaste tus 200 pesos Luego te mandan a otro lugar en la playa y espera otro rato en lo que todos pagan Cuando ya terminan todos de pagar viene una persona que te da algunas indicaciones, si bien agradezco la información siento que todo es una serie de instrucciones para que sepas cómo tomarte la foto, ¿han ido a una forma de autógrafos? Pues es lo mismo, te dicen que vas a hacer como te podrás tomar la foto y liberar tu tortuga Te vuelven a poner en otra fila, y otra media hora de espera, llega una persona con una cesta llena de tortuguitas, te la pasan te tomas la foto y el que sigue Luego te dan un cuenco de coco para que ahí te depositen tu tortuga, en la arena hay una línea larga por la playa de la que no puedes pasar, imagino que esto es la distancia mínima para que la tortuga pueda caminar hacia el agua y entender que esa es su playa, una vez que te depositan la tortuguita en tu cuenco tú inmediatamente la tienes que poner en la arena, es decir, solamente te ponen el escenario para que tomes la foto, no hay necesidad de todo esto, ellos pudieran hacerlo sin problema pero si no como cobrarían algo Así que la pones en la arena y es donde empiezan todas las emociones Te piden ponerle un nombre a tu tortuga, y la liberas pues en ese momento ya está atardeciendo, creo que se esperan a esa hora para que las gaviotas batallen en detectarlas al menos eso es lo que creemos ya que nadie nos lo explicó, y empieza a caminar tu tortuga, si tienes MUCHA suerte tu tortuga caminará rápido hacia el mar, se meterá y se irá Si no, como la mayoría de nosotros, verás como tú tortuga dura una eternidad en caminar, y ves como las gaviotas empiezan a tomarlas y llevárselas, así que ves niños llorando porque su tortuga es raptada por la gaviota, otros están esperando a que sea comida, y en muchas ocasiones la tortuguita está rozando el agua, ya está a punto de entrar después de 20 minutos de esperar que no se la coman y en el último minuto llega una gaviota y adiós

De los vecinos y de nuestro grupo fue un 30% de éxito y un 70 de que no Así que fue un momento agridulce porque la idea de la liberación de las tortugas al menos en mi poca cabeza era tratar de ayudar a las tortugas a que llegaran al mar, no a pagar para presenciar esto

Porque no te indican que lleves un láser para espantar a las gaviotas al menos o hacer otro tipo de dinámica Simplemente no...

I came to this location with a group of college students for a conservation/service trip. Our group stayed on site in the cabins for a week stay and I would highly recommend it! The cabins are rustic but provide great comforts like comfortable beds, ceiling fans and mosquito netting. The service was incredible as our package included on site meals at the restaurant, daily room cleanings and connections with other eco-touristic co-ops in the area. The guides are very knowledgeable and have so much experience with the turtles and local fauna. The turtle releasing's and night patrol were the highlight of our trip. Seeing and guiding the baby turtles in their journey to the ocean was such a rewarding experience. We also got to join in on a night patrol which allowed us to view the momma turtles nesting on the beach and help the guides collect the eggs to be taken to the hatchery. Truly an amazing and once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget! The community here is dedicated to this work and it...

La experiencia de aprender acerca de las tortugas y poder contribuir con los miembros de la comunidad que las cuidan es excelente.

Great experience and an awesome way to help out nature and the locals who have taken on this endeavor. Our guide was informative and explained the release procedures well. Children will enjoy the experience very much (our grandsons had a great time). Time on the beach is around 30 -45 mins. If you do go, opt for the evening release as it limits the birds preying on the baby turtles (too dark or past the gulls bedtime). Also, if you're coming from the La Cruceita area, expect the trip to take up to 2 hours each way depending on traffic. The road is very windy, and there seems to be a speed bump every few meters at times, even on the 4 lane divided portions. Yup you're gonna have a sore backside. We left la cruceita around 4:30 getting back a little after 9:00pm. Definitely worth it.
