Moonlit sea turtle nesting watch on Sal Island. Learn the full nesting process with expert guides, infrared lights, and quiet beach rules.

“A genuine natural marvel - spectacular to witness. I didn’t expect to get so close - I could have reached out and touched the turtle’s shell. The guides were very knowledgable, answering all questions in detail, and importantly they are very keen to minimise disturbance to the turtles. Would definitely recommend this experience.”
