Worth It - The wife and I always try to do something nature related on every trip we take. We both agreed this is one of the coolest things we have ever done. Guides were good, friendly and knowledgeable. Pickup was smooth. The whole process was fairly quick as we were done in about 45 minutes. You get an adoption certificate for one sea turtle but depending on how many people are on the tour you get to release a lot more. There were 5 people on this excursion and we released 150 sea turtles. One sort of drawback is the release is near many resorts so when you release them it draws a huge crowd even that late in the afternoon. The guides knew this so we walked down the beach quite a ways and the turtles were brought to us by the conservation team. Still ended up with 20-30 people around us to watch.

Interactive, magical, and such a good thing for the environment and turtle population - Holding the baby turtles was magical. Our guide was excellent very understanding of all the people that wanted to participate, but didn’t pay. He was calm and relaxed and unkind and very attentive to the five of us who had signed up. I would definitely recommend this.

Must do Cabo experience! - We've done plenty of activities in Cabo over the years we've been coming and this rates up there with only one - our whale watching tour where we saw a few whales but a mega pod of thousands of dolphins. Didn't think that could be beat but this experience was right up there and maybe more so because of the educational aspect of our experience through our tour guide. So sad to hear that so few of these babies survives in the wild but that is nature and if our participation helps in any way to increase the odds even a little bit, it was well worth it.

Trust me, just book it - We had the best time! This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Cabo. Marcos, our guide, was kind and knowledgeable. He educated us on the turtles as well as safety information for their release. We released the hatchlings at sunset and they all made it to the ocean safely with no birds bothering them. When we left the sun had been down a while. We highly recommend this experience. We are passionate about saving sea turtles.

Please support the turtles! - This experience was amazing! We released 80 baby turtles to the ocean, increasing their chances of survival! So many eggs are hatching and they need help. Please help, they are wonderful creatures!
