Join a Puerto Escondido turtle release with local conservationists, learn about sea turtle species, then help hatchlings reach the ocean at sunset.
“Great experience - the place seemed genuine and really cared about the turtles. Transport was smooth. Only issue was the driver didn’t speak Spanish - he asked me to translate to non Spanish speaking guests - which I could do for basic stuff. Then at the place the turtle volunteers asked another guest to translate which worked well enough but some stuff was missed.”

3-hour small-group dolphin, whale and turtle boat trip from Puerto Angelito with snorkeling gear and Puerto Escondido hotel pickup.
“I was doing the trip solo in a group of 6 in total. We saw some sea turtles, and some dolphins. Once just two passing by afar and one group that stuck around a little longer although they where mostly underwater. The rest was driving around looking out for more. (so out of the 3 hours we stopped about 10min in total to watch the animals). I would recommend it if you like boat rides, which I do - but if you expect a lot of wildlife action, it's a hit or miss (this goes for any wildlife tour). The guides seemed nice but didn't interact much, I think some…”

“The overall experience was great in terms of everything. The customer service was excellent! I would like to thank our boat captain Adriel for being a true professional. Furthermore, our guide Juan Carlos was simply excellent. His indepth understanding and ability to explain it was refreshing to say the least. His timing and professional manner is admirable. I highly recommend Juan Carlos and captain Adriel the reasons satated.”

And 88kg monster of a tuna that took us 90 mins to reel in. Highly recommend. A great day on the water even if you don’t catch anything we still saw plenty of turtles and dolphins.”
