At Camp Tortuguero de La Escobilla we will observe how biologists work on the protection and conservation of sea turtles, especially during the nesting season, and their activities include monitoring beaches, protecting nests to prevent looting and predation, as well as releasing young to the sea.

The goal is to ensure that more turtles reach the ocean safely and contribute to the continuity of their species.

Life changing trip with the best tour guide!
Mani has extensive knowledge of the region and all that it has to offer. His English is excellent, and we were able to see some of the most life changing things! From releasing baby turtles into the ocean to one of a kind bioluminescence and more, I cannot recommend Mani enough. He was able to accommodate my family of 4 easily, and it was really affordable! We spent one whole day with him, but easily could have spent more.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means a lot for us to know that your experience was meaningful and memorable for you and your family. It was a real pleasure guiding the four of you and sharing these special moments together—from the baby turtle release to the bioluminescence experience. Knowing that these experiences had such a positive impact makes my work incredibly rewarding. Thank you as well for highlighting the importance of traveling comfortably, safely, and with a local certified guide. You and your family will always be very welcome here in Huatulco, and I would be honored to guide you again whenever you return. Warm regards, Mani González Mani González Adventures

Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco cost?
+
Prices start at $77 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Huatulco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Huatulco is not rushed.
Is Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Huatulco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Huatulco and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience Sunset and Release of Turtles in Huatulco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Huatulco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Huatulco?
+
On Outty we rank every Huatulco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Copalitilla Magical Waterfalls from Huatulco with admission included, Huatulco Ocean Eco Adventures, Huatulco: Waterfalls & Oaxacan Food. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Huatulco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Huatulco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
