Finally got to help baby turtles make it to the ocean to grow into large beautiful sea turtles. AMAZING
An amazing experience. Got the t-shirt and a life time memory. Meet Tito Swim baby swim Olive Ridley Turtles - small species.

It was a great experience...
It was a great experience with newborn turtles helping them get to the ocean. We wore gloves to turn them around if they were going the wrong way. We got to hold them as well.

Worth It
The wife and I always try to do something nature related on every trip we take. We both agreed this is one of the coolest things we have ever done. Guides were good, friendly and knowledgeable. Pickup was smooth. The whole process was fairly quick as we were done in about 45 minutes. You get an adoption certificate for one sea turtle but depending on how many people are on the tour you get to release a lot more. There were 5 people on this excursion and we released 150 sea turtles. One sort of drawback is the release is near many resorts so when you release them it draws a huge crowd even that late in the afternoon. The guides knew this so we walked down the beach quite a ways and the turtles were brought to us by the conservation team. Still ended up with 20-30 people around us to watch.

Worse group of liars
Nevershowed up as agreed or spot agreed..sent a picture but date time stamp showed was lying..then next day guide called to say there was a mix up in office and he was there to take me on tour while I was in next port with my cruise...this company lied big time..then viator put me through hell get my money back and still not return my certificate used

Interactive, magical, and such a good thing for the environment and turtle population
Holding the baby turtles was magical. Our guide was excellent very understanding of all the people that wanted to participate, but didn’t pay. He was calm and relaxed and unkind and very attentive to the five of us who had signed up. I would definitely recommend this.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Los Cabos Turtle Release Eco-Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Los Cabos Turtle Release Eco-Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Turtle Release Eco-Experience take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Turtle Release Eco-Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 75 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 Turtle Release Eco-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 Turtle Release Eco-Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Los Cabos Turtle Release Eco-Experience?
+
Around 26 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Los Cabos Turtle Release Eco-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 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. 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.
