Learn all about turtle conservation and work to protect native sea turtles on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Spend the days both enjoying the beach and working to keep it clean. Help protect the turtles during evening patrols looking for nests to relocate eggs to safety. Experienced conservationists will lead you through service and teach you about the many ongoing efforts to save sea turtles. In addition to daily shifts in a hatchery, carry out beach cleanups with park rangers and take breaks to surf, zipline and watch the sunset.
Because of wood collecting on the beach a mother turtle couldn’t dig her hole, so she had to go back to the ocean. It was sad because she may never come back to that beach to lay her eggs. Seeing that firsthand motivated us to clear wood off the beach.
