About your trip

Experience one of the greatest conservation stories in the Sea of Cortez. A story where millions of sea turtles begin their extraordinary journey! From April to December, female turtles return to their birthplace to lay their eggs, and dedicated conservationists work tirelessly to protect them. They collect the nests and relocate them to safe, controlled environments, ensuring the hatchlings have the best chance of survival. Once hatched, these tiny turtles are released back into the ocean—a moment you'll never forget, especially knowing that only 1 in 1,000 will survive.


Before arriving to the sea turtle conservation area, we will make a quick stop to enjoy a delicious ranch-style breakfast. After the release enjoy time strolling along the beach before taking an alternate scenic route back to La Paz. An unforgettable, heart-warming adventure. Join us for a day you won't forget!

What to Bring

Sun protection: A hat, sunglasses, and biodegradable sunscreen 

Water Bottle: Always a good idea to bring your own water bottle. Water is available during transport and at the ranch.

Sea Turtle Hatchling Release

We will depart early in the morning at 6:00 AM, making a breakfast stop along the way. Once we arrive at our destination, participants will have the opportunity to take part in a sea turtle hatchling release. During this event, you will learn about the journey of these hatchlings and the conservation efforts in place to save and protect these incredible reptiles.


After the release, we will head to another area of the beach where guests can take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline. On our return to La Paz, we plan to make a quick stop to observe the windsurfers and kiteboarders at La Ventana. We expect to be back in La Paz by 1:00 PM.
