Highlights

It is an incredible opportunity to witness this miraculous natural process. During the night, turtles come to the beach and lay eggs. To protect these eggs, a qualified team takes them and places them in a turtle sanctuary to protect them from predators. After a briefing you will be given a freshly hatched baby turtle that you will release on the beach. Cheer them all on as they run to sea! As this is based on hatchlings, the location of the tour may change on the day.

About Zihuatanejo

Zihuatanejo is a fishing town on a sheltered bay on Mexico's Pacific coast in Guerrero, with quiet beaches, a harbour promenade and Ixtapa nearby.

Zihuatanejo lies on a sheltered, horseshoe-shaped bay on Mexico's Pacific coast in the state of Guerrero, and it has kept more of the feel of a fishing town than its neighbour Ixtapa, a purpose-built resort a few kilometres to the north-west. Fishing boats pull up on the town beach in the morning, and the Paseo del Pescador, the waterfront promenade, is lined with cafés and small shops.
