Set out at first light on a small-boat expedition to a protected nesting bay where wild sea turtles glide through untouched coral gardens. An intimate, conservation-led wildlife experience unlike anything else.
What to expect
Your marine biologist briefs the group on turtle behaviour and responsible interaction before the boat slips quietly into the protected bay at first light, when turtles are most active and tourist boats are absent. You'll spend an unhurried hour in the water alongside hawksbill and green turtles feeding on sea grass and coral. The biologist narrates every moment, identifying individual turtles by their markings. The return journey crosses a pristine coral garden for bonus snorkelling, with tropical fish in every direction.
Good to know
Departures at 6:30 am — arrange a short taxi to the marina the evening before. The excursion concludes by 9:30 am, leaving your full afternoon free. Reef-safe sunscreen is mandatory (provided if needed). This sells out weeks in advance; book immediately upon confirming your port call.
