May Sal and Boavista are the best places to observe sea turtles in the whole of Cape Verde, every year from July to December you can enjoy this incredible experience on the island's coast. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel and take you to a calm, quiet beach to see the sea turtles. When you arrive at the beach, we will immediately give you a briefing on how to behave when the sea turtles arrive. We will ensure all ecological safety and security measures for the turtles and our guests. The moment the turtles come out of the water is a magical moment, as they move slowly towards the calmest areas where the sea doesn't reach them to bury their eggs in the sand, and then return to the ocean.
