      From July to September in Cabo, Olive Ridley and Black Turtles come to shore to lay their eggs deep in the sand before returning back to sea. The baby turtles hatch about 45 days later, but during this time we protect the nest and take care of the eggs. Our job is to raise the percentage of survival as much as possible. The tour is guided by a marine biologist which brings a fun, educational learning experience where you take part in the release of these baby turtles back into nature.

    Awesome turtle experience!

    Great experience and very informative. The staff/guides are very invested into their mission, and it was great to see their love of the turtles. Awesome experience all around, and it was neat watching the turtles make their way to the water.

    Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.

    How much does Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $85 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Los Cabos is not rushed.

    Is Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 253 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience?

    +

    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 Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience?

    +

    Around 89 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cabo Whale Watching: Female Crew, Guaranteed Sightings, Photos, Cabo San Lucas Mexican Cooking Class Experience and Local Markets, Cabo San Lucas Sunset Cruise with Open Bar and Snacks. 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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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 Los Cabos?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience?

    +

    Included: Bathrooms; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Certified guides. Not included: Gratuities; Certificate of birth (turtle); Merchandising; and Photo session. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 68 listed pickup locations in and around Los Cabos. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience offered in?

    +

    Is Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Los Cabos Sunset Turtle Release Conservation Experience if the weather is bad?

    +
